Hi Aaron,

Actualy pythoncad dos not supporting dxf dwg files, we are working 
on it.. but i think that we are able to load and write dxf/dwg file for the 
next yeard ....(hopfully)..

You can do such a think using autocad and building 
a com application (Could be python ) that call autocad open the big file and 
divide all the primitives and than save in different files..

ciao
Matteo
