I can view these by importing into Photoshop or VISIO, but I can't
edit them, they appear as a single item ... rather than the individual
elements of the drawings.

In Visio you could insert the dwg (as a CAD drawing) then right click the
drawing and choose "convert", this allows you to convert it to Visio shapes
(or to delete layers) - now you can edit using Visio.
