Max6: How to get rid of the prefix 'Layer:' in importing dwg

[HarryG]

Hi everyone,

I got problem with the new 3dsMax6 DWG import feature. Every Autocad DWG layer imported into 3dsMax6 are converted into objects with prefix "Layer:" before the object name (For example: layer "01Walls" in Autocad is changed into "Layer:01Walls" in 3dsMax6). Is there a way to import DWG layer into 3dsmax6 without using the prefixes?

The prefix addition is really ruining my current object naming system in 3dsmax. I can't understand why they are using it in 3dsmax6. In previous 3dsmax version, the imported object name uses the same name as the Autocad layer.

 

Thanks!
