OK, I just fired up CA 6 and tried to im****t a simple dwg into it.
It asked how to this, it gave me 2 options. I Tried both. Each time it
took
about 10 mins to *convert* the layers.
Disappointing.
I don't play that *color/lineweight* thing, I draw with all polylines,
WYSIWYG, and all of my polylines were changed to lines. gasp.
I use *dots* for arrowheads, they were gone in CA and all of my text
(graphite - thanks Pierre) was changed to, I don't know what. Maybe some
sort of generic *city blueprint* or something. All of my blocks are my
own,
toilets, sinks, etc., were converted to CA except it didn't recognize some
and left them out None of my babinets showed up at all.
All of my layers, about 20 of them in this particular dwg, were put on 1
layer. WTF!?!?

Hey now, don't know what type of *houses* you're drawing these days but my
standard template has well over 100 layers in it, not for the faint of
heart.
The house I'm working on presently is all sticks and its 4 stories high,
about 8,000 s.f. And yes, its being designed to *island* specs.....
