Notes

LISCAD SEE objects are considered visible if they are on a Group that is turned on and objects of that type are displayed in LISCAD SEE.
Objects that can be imported from LISCAD SEE include: points, lines, alignments (horizontal), arcs, circles, splines, polygons, text, images, models, background images, symbols, line styles and hatching.
Models are imported onto layers that match the model name.
To import a line or polygon as a breakline or boundary, in the LISCAD SEE project, select the breakline and boundary checkboxes.
If the active model is not visible in LISCAD SEE and Displayed items are imported then no models are imported.
If the active model is visible in LISCAD SEE and Displayed items are imported then only the active model is imported.
If All items are imported then all models are imported.
Arcs are imported as 2D circular arcs with heights in a line object.
Transition curves are imported as transition curves in a line or alignment object.
Files created with LISCAD SEE 10.0 or later are supported.
