I appreciate your help...
 
DXF guide says this about dxf codes in the Layer table:

----------------------------------

LAYER group codes
Group code Description
100 Subclass marker (AcDbLayerTableRecord)
2 Layer name
70 Standard flags (bit-coded values):
1 = Layer is frozen; otherwise layer is thawed
2 = Layer is frozen by default in new viewports
4 = Layer is locked
16 = If set, table entry is externally dependent on an xref
32 = If both this bit and bit 16 are set, the externally dependent xref has been successfully resolved
64 = If set, the table entry was referenced by at least one entity in the drawing the last time the
drawing was edited. (This flag is for the benefit of AutoCAD commands. It can be ignored by
most programs that read DXF files and need not be set by programs that write DXF files)
62 Color number (if negative, layer is off)
6 Linetype name
290 Plotting flag. If set to 0, do not plot this layer
370 Lineweight enum value
390 Hard-pointer ID/handle of PlotStyleName object
347 Hard-pointer ID/handle to Material object
---------------------------

Other than that I don't know exactly where you need to replace what you have...
