The use of this list is to help identify the CAD layers to be updated without need to operate on all CAD layers.

If the QGis layer (shapefile/geopackage) is a *POLYGON* layer, then in the corresponding dxf file all features will be stored in the CAD layer called “Boundary” (it is assigned by default by the QGis algorithm).

If instead the QGis layer (shapefile/geopackage) is a *LINE* layer, then in the corresponding dxf file all features will be stored in the CAD layer called “Line” (it is assigned by default by the QGis algorithm).

In this example, the dxf file ‘’V_BLDG_SHED----E” will be used, to be replaced into the Compiled map file. This layer is a POLYGON layer. In the example, directions are given for both POLYGON and LINE layers.
