The table below shows the mapping from AutoCAD entities into Draft elements. Any AutoCAD entities not mentioned in the table are ignored, and will not be represented in the Draft database.
All AutoCAD entities must be in model space. They can be drawn in the world coordinate system, or they can be drawn in a User Coordinate System (UCS) providing that the Z-axis of the UCS is in the same direction as the World Z-axis.
