sorry, I misspoke myself. The problem is that there are two version of .wmf input on Windows. (I'm assuming you are using Windows, since you are using AutoCAD)

- there is an import file type called 'Windows Metafiles', this is a native Inkscape import which exhibits this problem with id's. This is the default method, so if you right-click on a .wmf file and open it with Inkscape, this is the one you will get.

- there is also a second import file type called 'Windows Metafile', which uses a Python extension called uniconvertor, and this method does not exhibit this problem, even when you call it from inside Inkscape.

could you check to see if this second method exists on your menu?
