Why import as GDL?

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

What are the advantages of importing a DWG file as GDL object into AC?

I also have another question
I'm trying to import survey data to generate the siting drawing. The file is large (ca. 4Mb) so I decided to xref it. After "xrefing it" (is this a verb?) all xref layers are locked. I can unlock all layers except one. Since I need to rotate the drawing this comes as a huge nuissance.
Can anyone explain me why can't I unlock one of the many layers?

Many thanks.
Joaquim

Will do Thomas. I'm trying to get a bedroom ready for carpet so I'll get back as soon as I can.

OK. Use a good subfloor material, and you can always customize the carpet object

Actually this bedroom isn't in my computer.....I'm in the process of doing some remodeling here at home. I wish it was in the computer because I wouldn't have such a mess to deal with!!!!
