50+ new classes (Layers) added when drawing is exported to DWG
Started with an existing DWG created in AutoCad
One model space - many viewports (sheet set)
Import file & edited in VW 2020
Kept the single model space - edited the viewports as needed.
Exported as DWG back into AutoCAD (2021)
Every thing looks as expected when opened
One strange addition is 50+ new layers (VW Classes) that were added to the file. Each is named with the file name + a number
Re importing DWG back into VW, it appears that VW takes each Sheet Layer and saves it as a Symbol with a sequential designation based on the file name. (?)

Testing additional DWG exports (from VW) with alternate settings ... (TBD)
Suggestions appreciated
