To easily get the wire types transfered to each dwg, you have to use the Settings Compare tool.
In the first dwg, set up the layers as needed in the Layer Properties Manager. Usint the Layer State Manager save the Layer information and export a copy.
Go to each of the other dwgs and using the Layer State Manager, import the Layers State you exported before and allow them to be restored.
Go to the First Dwg again and set up your wire layers using the Create/Edit Wire Types tool.
Now go to the Project Manager and RIGHT-CLICK on the first dwg. Hover over the properties entry and then select the Settings Compare from the flyout menu.
Click on the row name Wire Layers and click Match Drawing. This will copy the settings from the first dwg to the project.
Now do the same for each of the other dwgs but click on MATCH PROJECT instead. This will copy the wire layers to each of the dwgs in turn.
At this stage, you can't do a settings compare for groups of dwgs, you have to do each one individually. Also, the Layers themselves are not included in the settings compare, just the data on which layers are for wiring.
