Converting to Feature Objects

Many times you will want to use your CAD data layers to create streams, watersheds, or other feature objects. To do this you must first convert the CAD data to feature objects. This is done by choosing the CAD -> Feature Objects command in the CAD menu and then specifying which objects in the layer you want converted. When converting data you may either add it to the currently active coverage, or have a new coverage created. Once the data have been converted it is a good idea to delete the CAD data or at least toggle of the visibility.
