Conditional on the selected Export Options all objects or a part of them within the Cyclone

complexity of the ModelSpace being translated.
See below the model from Section 1 – Image Export - Snapshot which was exported via coe and
imported to AutoCAD
Figure 13
COE files are brought into Cyclone via Cyclone’s Navigator window, where a new ModelSpace is
created for the imported file. Most objects, as well as layer functionality, can be brought into
Cyclone from AutoCAD. Complex objects (e.g., cubes with rounded corners, objects with notches,
etc.) may not be translated as objects, but may instead be translated as a collection of lines and
arcs.
COE files can only be imported into Cyclone via the Navigator window – not from
inside ModelSpaces.
