Importing .DWG or .DXF

Hi, I have been in the migration phase of onshape testing out the feature and learning how to sketch and model. I like it.
Now I have started to bridge the gap between the archives and onshape and ran into the first speedhump.
I used Autocad 2011 (and 2016) and find that files, both .dxf and .dwg are not importing in any usefull way.
I found some threads in the forum about this that are dated 2015, and can only assume that this is still not fixed!
This is a rather major hole for me (and I imagine many others)
One of my major production partners also uses Autocad. I am yet to test an onshape exported file on them.
I have to say my confidence is shaken.
Is there a work around or is there feverish activity to plug this feature hole in onshape?
