How to maintain Line properties While inserting a PDF diagram? Circuit Diagram

During converting PDF files to DWG , How can I maintain Line Properties, for example when converted to PDF from DWG, Dotted lines are changed to Continuous Lines. Please help me with a solution to maintain the properties.

If "Infer linetypes from colinear dashes" is checked, AutoCAD will make a "guess" that this might be a dashed linetype, but there's no guarantee the this will work.

There are no other ways to achieve this.

Then you better get started. There's unfortunately no way to make AutoCAD recognize these line types.
