Esri Mapping File Specification for DWG/DXF (MSC) Reader Parameters

The Esri MSC Reader Workbench Reader Parameters are set to defaults that will produce the best generic result to any non-AutoCAD destination format, resulting in the best presentation at the cost of some of the original AutoCAD types being lost. For example, blocks and dimensions will be resolved into their component parts.

For the optimum AutoCAD-to-AutoCAD translation parameter settings, see the Autodesk AutoCAD DWG/DXF Reader/Writer
