Cliff, AutoCAD doesn't convert your drawings when you install it. At least not in Windows. Your drawings are still in their original version until you open and save them in AutoCAD 2018. You can change a variable so that each time you save, the drawings will be saved to an earlier version of your choice. To set the default file save format in the AutoCAD Options: Type OPTIONS on the AutoCAD command line. In the Options dialog, go to the "Open and Save" tab. In the "File Save" > "Save as" drop-down menu, set the desired file format. Click OK. Hope this helps. I wouldn't expect any help form AutoCAD, this is an ESRI issue.

Adrian, So you were able to insert your AutoCAD 2018 drawings into ArcGIS 10.5 this way?

Ian, I'm currently running Autocad 2018 with 10.3.1. After a lot of experimentation, I have found that saving your drawings to an older version (2013) will allow you to add them normally without any problem. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you. I plan to upgrade to 10.5.1 soon. Good luck.
