Converting AutoCAD drawings into Visio

Hello,

I'm trying to open up an AutoCAD drawing in Visio as editable shapes.
For now, I use a VBA macro to access the Convert AutoCAD Drawings add-on and
plan to shift to C#.NET later.
The macro always opens up a new drawing and places the converted CAD drawing
into the new drawing (in same Document).
Is it possible to open the converted drawing in the same drawing?

Also,
The converted drawing by default centers itself on visio (0,0)
Is it possible to change the origin just for the add-on execution
Many Thanks

Jay Abraham

Got it,
Use ActivePage.Selection to add all shapes
and then use the Move method of the Selection object,
Many Thanks for your invaluable help!,
