This time I'm going to talk specifically about standard details. There is a number of ways to import and utilize your Cad files, many of which you may have already tried. The way that makes the most sense to me is to import them into a drafting view.
First create a new drafting view. View--New--Drafting View. Then go to that view, import it making sure you switch the colors to black and white, and bam, you have your detail. There is no 0,0 center like in Autocad. Just place it anywhere or center to center and set your scale appropriately.
Now that you have this view you can reference it. View--New--Callout. When you select the callout command you have the option in the bar to 'Reference other view:' and you can select the view you just imported. Now your standard detail may be used whithout it actually using the model.
If you don't see the detail you just added, you might need to place it on a sheet first.
