Do you mean you already have DWG files and you want to embed them in AutoCAD drawing one above the other?
I am asking this because to my knowledge .NET doesn't natively support load/Save DWG or any AutoCAD formats.

Note that I didn't try this by myself, but I found the following links that discuss similar requirement to yours:

Another alternative is to use a commercial SDK. LEADTOOLS is able to load DWG files as can be seen in this post:

You can save the result to DXF format using LEADTOOLS SDK, and then convert the resultant DXF to DWG using AutoCAD. More details can be found here:
