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.

Another quick tip. You can use hyperlinks to navigate to named views in a drawing.

You can attach a hyperlink to almost any drawing entity, linking it to a named view.
You can even link to layout tabs.

Select the entity to which you want to attach the hyperlink, then use the shortcut "Ctrl+K", or run the properties command, then choose Hyperlink. The following dialog will appear. On the left pane, click "View of this Drawing"

Select the desired model space view or layout name.



Now when you hover this entity, the little hyperlink icon will be attached to your cursor. Hold the Ctrl key and click to go to this view. You can also right click, choose Hyperlink->Open...
