Opening CAD Files
WMS uses a third party set of DLLs to read CAD files. This is done so that WMS can stay current with evolving changes in DXF and other file formats. Previously, only limited DXF support was provided, and only for files exported from AutoCAD release 12 or earlier. This interface not only provides expanded and up to date support of DXF, but AutoCAD *.dwg files are also supported. Future versions will likely support the MicroStation *.dgn format as well.
CAD files are not yet managed from the WMS Project Explorer, but this will likely be supported in the future as well. WMS can use CAD files as base map (background) information to your project, and to convert some CAD features into feature objects of the current coverage.
Deleting CAD Data
The Delete command of the CAD menu is used to delete all CAD data. It is not currently possible to delete individual layers, but the visibility of a layer can be controlled from within the display options dialog.
