The other day, our GIS department was trying to import a DWG file into ArcMap, but the linework in the drawing file would not show up after the import was complete. The problem turned out to be that the DWG file contained only AECC_CONTOUR objects.

Using Map to export the DWG contents to an ESRI .shp file didn't help either, since the export routine ignores the objects.

The solution was to explode the objects, and save a copy of the DWG for the GIS tech.
