Open DOS Drawing
If the current drawing file you are in has any graphics the
following dialog box will appear. This is meant to prevent you
accidentally placing the PL1 drawing on top of another existing
drawing file.
Selecting will bring up the following dialog box that will allow
you to select the PL1 file to be converted to a standard CAD
drawing.
After selecting the file to be
converted, if you look at the command line you will see that the
program is going through the PL1 file and converting the drawing
entities one at a time to make them conform to the C&G format.
This means all of the C&G data is maintained so the new drawing
is still linked to the coordinate file it was created from. Also
during this conversion process any of the CGDOS *.INS files
(inserts) will be converted to standard CAD blocks and be added to
the CG list of available inserts. Meaning all of the inserts you
were accustomed to using in the CGDOS product will now be a part of
the CG Survey program.
