Known Issues	Does not convert perfectly between Object Coordinate System (OCS) and World Coordinate System (WCS). Only rudimentary support for true polylines have been implimented - splines/fitted curves/ 3d plines/polymeshes are not supported. No support for most 3d entities. Doesn't support the new style object visability. There are problems importing some curves/arcs/circles.
