Playing around with laying one dxf drawing over another for comparison.

It looks to me that 'Import Block' and selecting a dxf file works OK, provided that the Construction Layer is not in use in the drawing imported.
If the construction layer is in use, strange interactions occur.

So, my approach is:
 - edit both the current and acquired drawings to move all content of the construction layer to another named layer,
 - import acquired drawing to current drawing as a block,
 - explode the acquired drawing block,
 - sort out the insertion point offset.

Good to go with all layers from current and acquired drawings in place, nothing in the construction layer.
Then can re-arrange as required.

Am I missing something ?
