I used the example here to side load dwgs into memory combined with the example here of Plot From Model Space. I got things working except for the plots are not respecting whether the layers are frozen or not and printing as if they were all thawed. The data coming in from the dwg is correct. I can iterate the layers while debugging and verify the correct ones are either frozen or thawed. Also If I just saveas the dwg to a new name it matches the original concerning the layer state.
