You can open drawing files in DWG or DXF formats. When you open a drawing file, you can change the view by panning, zooming, rotating 3D objects, or restoring a saved view. To manage visual complexity, you can turn layers on and off. You can access two working environments: the Model tab and one or more layout tabs.
