I did this but they do not appear in the Symbols Catalog list insdie ADR. But they are locked by the applicaiton. I've tried this on both WinXp & Vista. Even restarted the PC to check.
Is there a Registeery Entry or XML file that needs to be updated?

If you are having trouble importing an older DWF file as a symbol catalog, you may need to update its DWF version. Open the older DWF file in Design Review and save it to update the older file to the latest DWF version, which can then be imported as a custom symbol catalog.
