Specifying How to Import Points
When you import data (as opposed to using
Data Connect (page 303)), the
imported material is converted to AutoCAD drawing objects. As you import
point data, you can choose how the points are treated.
NOTE If you are importing survey points, see Bringing in Survey Data (page 370).
■ Import points as points, using ACAD_POINT.
■ Import points as text, using text specified in data attached to the objects.
