Convert XRefs Select this check box to convert any external reference files
contained within the DWG file automatically.
Clear this check box if you want to append files in Autodesk Navisworks later
yourself.
Merge XRef Layers Select this check box to merge the layers in external
reference files with layers in the main DWG file in the Selection Tree.
Clear this check box to keep the external reference files separate from the
main DWG file in the Selection Tree.
Convert Views Select this check box to convert the named views into Autodesk
Navisworks viewpoints.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores views.
Convert Points Select this check box to convert points in DWG and DXF files.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores points.
Convert Lines Select this check box to convert lines and arcs in DWG and
DXF files.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores lines.
Convert Snap Points Select this check box to convert snap points in DWG
and DXF files.

Convert Text Select this check box to convert text in DWG and DXF files.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores text.
Default Font Indicates which font to use for the converted text.
Convert Point Clouds Select this check box to convert the AutoCAD Point
Cloud entities. This applies to AutoCAD and Autodesk Navisworks 2011 or
later. Earlier versions will ignore the point clouds or display proxy graphics
(often as a wireframe box).
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores point clouds.
Point Cloud Detail Specifies how much detail to extract from the point cloud.
The valid entries are between 1 and 100, where 100 = all the points, 10 = about
10% of the points, 1 = about 1% of the points.
Use Point Cloud Colors Controls the point cloud colors. Select this check
box to use color values for the points in the point cloud.
When this check box is clear, any color values for the points in the point
cloud are ignored and the normal AutoCAD color for the entity is used. This
option is useful if the specific colors stored are too dark or meaningless.
