When importing a DWG file into a VW model, I am finding that if any layers in the DWG file have the same name as any of my VW classes, the settings for the DWG layer are overwriting my class settings.
I am currently getting around the problem by doctoring the DWG file first in Autocad LT 2010 and putting everything on Layer 0. This works OK for the particular job I'm working on currently but isn't an ideal solution as it is time consuming and if I forget to do it then all my classes get corrupted!
Is there an import setting that I can change to avert this problem?
