My english isn't good, so pleas take it easy :)

My question is about importing meshes form AutoCad to Max. I am importing meshes to Max using "File Link Manager" and there is problem. When i set in "File Link Manager -> Presents -> Mosify -> Advanced":
1. "Layer, Blocks as node Hierarchy" - I have in Max in "Select objects" panel objects with the name like in AutoCad ig. "door", "windows", "walls" etc., but all objects in the scene on the same layer are union(?) - they are like on big object, they are not separate. In AutoCad objects are separately (i.g. 7 windows on one layer are separately, but after importing to Max they are not separately - it is on big block or something).
2."Entity, Blocks as node Hierarchy" - I have in "Select objects" panel objects, they are separately in te panel and in the scene - it is good for me, but in "Select objects" panel, they have no name like in AutoCad, all objects are called (have the same name?) the same name "3dSolid". It is problem, because I have a hudndred of objects called 3dSolid and I can't use "Select object" panel.

How fix this problem? I would like to have all object separately, but with the name from AutoCad. Is it possible?

:) do you understand me?
