When you open an AutoCAD file as an Autodesk Inventor drawing, a new file is created. The first sheet in the drawing contains a draft view with multiple sketches. The 2D geometry and text from the AutoCAD file are placed in the sketch associated to the draft view. Dimensions, text, and other annotations are placed on the drawing sheet.
