What is the difference between the Figure & Drawing tools?

Karl's comparison should be added to the ArchiCAD Help files.

Just have the possibility to "decompose in the current view" the selecting drawing if this one is a bitmap image and then we find it in the figure tools.
And better if the drawing tool called a vector pdf file, convert it directly into ArchiCADThis would be a great feature, too, but I think it should be part of the Open / Merge / Hotlink (etc) dialogs which are content-based rather than the Figure/Drawing tools which place a single non-editable object?because now I have to open Illustrator to do it and after exporting the file in dwg format and in a second time put this file into Archicad)
