Feature request:
‌Would it be possible to import an AutoCAD file with optional external references?
I‌f this is possible it would be nice to also be able to preserve the existing layers of the external reference with the external reference name as prefix of the new layer name.

Gerrit,

I‌ am pleased to say that we have written the code to allow importing of DWG files containing XREFs‌ and we are in the final stages of testing before we release it.

I‌ understand that some of your files are under NDA but if you can send us whatever you can we can ensure that we fully support at least those files when we release this feature.‌

David,

I‌ am very pleased to hear that you are looking in to this. I will see what files I can send to you on short notice. Because of the file size I might need to send it with WeTranfer or equivalent tool can I address this to the general (support) e-mail address?
