- If 0: creates a flat structure without blocks in the model space of the target database, regardless of whether the imported data have an assembly structure or not.
- If 1: the imported data have an assembly structure, which will be converted into a hierarchy of plain blocks; so the structure will be preserved, while the assembly metadata are lost. If the imported data is composed of entities only, they are placed in the modelspace of the target database.
- If 2: in this mode, data will be translated to BricsCAD assembly data, the structure and its properties (physical materials – BLMATERIALS command). If the imported file has no assembly data, a mechanical component will nevertheless be created in the BricsCAD target document root.
