Some of them may not have the Plant 3D design software, so we have to convert our drawings into regular Auto files before they can open them. Here's where we find the tool to do that. So I'm going to give you an example. I'm going to look at our drawings here, we're going to open up a P90 drawing and a model drawing just using regular AutoCAD. So I'm going to switch to regular AutoCAD. Now I'm going to come up and I'm going to open the file, I'm going to go to our desktop, exercise files, chapter 11, P90 drawing. Now here's our P90, you can see in the preview window the P90 is existing. Just going to say open. And here's what we're going to get.
