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.
