CGDOS Drawings
Before opening a CGDOS drawing you must choose the “setup” option
to provide information needed for opening the PL!/PL2 files.
This feature allows you to import a CGDOS PL1/PL2 file and convert
it to a standard CAD drawing. This is similar to a DXF conversion,
but in addition to simple converting the graphics, this feature
also retains the C&G data. That means that after the conversion
is finished the drawing file is still referenced to the coordinate
file. If you query a line it tells you what coordinate file the
graphic was created from, the points that line is drawn from, the
layer and line stop information just like query did in the CGDOS.
This means you can continue working on the job after the conversion
in a manner that is familiar to you as it was in CGDOS.
