Just jumping in here... Is there a way to link to the webinar that you are mentioning? Or is it a private thing?

Create a CAD file Directory,  inside create a folder for each projected zone in your state.  Then take the ".prj" files for each zone and place them in the corresponding folder.  Rename the file esri_cad.prj.  For example in Ohio there are 2 state plane zones.  Ohio Stateplane NAD 83 North and Ohio Stateplane NAD 83 South I’ve attached a zip file with an example of how the folders should be organized.  Then place the CAD files that correspond to each zone in their proper zone folder.
