Haven't tried importing... you may want to look at Vectorworks.

In my experience it has one of the best dwg importers. It retains the whole hierarchy of theAutocad files and it is really fast imprting complex drawings.
At least i can make a direct comparison with archicad...well, no chance!

VectorWorks is reliable for importing dwg/dxf; I have imported plans, furniture, fixtures, etc. for about 7 years (Mac). If you can, talk to the sender about the scale in advance or else you will need to clean that up. Xrefs are messy but usable assuming the sender includes them. Occasionally, dimensions or notes are missing.

for me archicad is VERY slow for working with simple line drawings - acad is 1000000x faster. handeling splines and polylines is so slow, drawing a contour map the hour glass apears after evry single click - in acad i can do 10 clicks whn i do 1 in archicad...
so i think vectorworks is the way to go for line 2d drawings - and it's much cheaper than archicad.

VectorWorks
V2009 introduces Parasolid modeling kernel one of the best in the industry, if not the best. So by 2010-11 VectorWorks it sould be a Kick-Ass 3d app...
