I would recommend first importing the DWG into FAB 3000.

Then you could merge the border with all layers using the command Copy to Layers... (menu: Edit | Copy to Layers...). To use copy to layers, simply select the border and then start copy to layers. Here's a quick movie tutorial (no sound) showing how to do this:

Note: You can also perform the merge during DXF/DWG import: click the tab "Merge", and then click the button "Add Merge...". Repeat for each layer merge.
