Solidworks to DWG, Blocks copy each other in AutoCad

[Prototrax]

My customer needs to have all his files in DWG and saved out to one DWG file. I batch convert all my Solidworks drawings to DWG and then macro a copy / paste to the master DWG file. Problem is that the hole chart becomes a block and assumes the properties of the 1st block inported into AutoCad. Every time I copy and paste a new drawing into AutoCad the hole chart changes. The blocks have the same name.

I have not found a way inside Soildworks to not give this block a name. I could macro my way out of this..but is there anything I can do inside Solidworks?

Yes, do everything in SW and trash ACAD.

You will not have a clean transfer of all data from SW to ACAD. Try saving the SW drawing as DXF then import into ACAD and save as DWG.

I refuse to use both apps together, it's more work than needed.
