When reading a DWG, I am only interested in reading layers with the prefix '_'. Do I have the option to ignore all other layers?

I know I can easily filter them after they've been read, but I'm trying to cut down on the initial reading time. Thanks.

If you are merging the features, you could use a Wildcard:

But I don't know if this cuts down the reading time.
