Can you make the option to import a file (dwg) to the current view and not to its original top view.  
Like the way insert is working.  
If tried to use -insert but it imports my lines as a block. and i don’t want that.  
And if i use -import it’s always going to the top view plane.

The Insert dialog has options for this.

you may also want to check:  
\_selLast (to select all new objects from the last command)  
and  
\_remapCplane (…)

if you need those workflows more often, i recommand to have a look at macros
