I have most issues squared up when importing DWG from my engineer. However, the ASSOC DIMS remain tiny when imported. I do a change/Text Size
and Mask by AssocDim to change them all. Any settings I'm missing on the import to the empty DataCad 21 file? Thank you.

Hello, I've been working with autocad guys importing and exporting. One of them is saying all of my exports are opening under Autocad 2020 but say the files are read only. I see no setting asking me if I want to restrict it to read only.
Has anyone reported this and is there a way to avoid it?

It could be another of AutoCAD's way of saying "Hey, you didn't create this in Acad so we're restricting it!"

Are the files actually marked Read-only if you / they view the files properties in Windows?

Another thing to have them check is sometimes Windows will add a block to files downloaded from the internet which can reduce the functionality of a file. Have them try Right-Clicking on one of the files and select Properties with the issue, and see if the file has a Security warning as shown in the image below. If it does, have them check the Unblock box and Apply button and then try the files again.
