If you want to convert WMS data objects such as feature object coverages, TINs, contours, etc. you can choose the '''Data – CAD''' option in the ''CAD'' menu. This will convert the various WMS data objects into separate CAD layers which can be controlled from the ''Display Options'' dialog. The colors of the layers will be inherited based on the current WMS display options settings for the individual objects.

At the current release polygon data types are not supported in the conversion from WMS to CAD, however arcs that make up polygons, or triangles that make up color-filled contours are saved as layers.
