You can use drawings or images from other applications by opening them in specific formats.
AutoCAD handles some form of conversion for drawing interchange format (DXF)™, SAT, and WMF files. For all versions, you can import the file by using the Import method. This method takes three values as input: the name of the file to import, the insertion point in the drawing to place the file, and the scale factor to use when placing the imported drawing.
