Save that as a dws file, and run the Standards tool to translate the layers

If cadtag's suggestion didn't help, then read this: http://autodesk.blogs.com/between_th...ranslator.html

Granted, it's an old article. But it still works. LAYTRANS - read the Help file for your version of AutoCAD. This might do the trick for you.

Consider either the LAYTRANS, or LAYMERGE Commands.
