Command: import

Syntax

import <file> {,<file> ... }

Description

Process an entity import file.

Parameters

• <file>
  The name of the import file(s) containing the data to be processed. The default file extension is .eim.

Switches

• -draw
  New entities defined during importing should be just drawn into the current graphic window. No graphic primitives will be created. Group information within entities is ignored.

• -g=<groups>
  The graphic groups to which any created entities are to be added. The default is None.

• -un
  Change the current modeling units to match the units defined in the import file. The default behavior is to leave the current modeling units unchanged but to scale the incoming entities appropriately.

Notes

Import files are created by external translation utilities from third-party graphic data, and may contain directives to create graphic primitives, and/or execute associated commands.
