How to make a separate sketch for each layer from an imported dxf?

Hi There,
I am working with some imported geometry and it would be very convenient if I don't have import each layer separately. Is there an automation to make separate sketches for each DXF layer? See attached sample DXF link.

No native tool option to do that that I know of. Since you have to create a sketch to put a dxf into,… it would be difficult to create a new sketch or multiple sketches from within a sketch. Maybe there is some custom featurescript that can do it or could be made that lets you select a DXF source and define planes to put the geometry on. Currently above my pay grade currently though to answer that..
