MDT draws the points with its own type of entity by default, which means that when the drawing is opened on a computer without MDT, a warning appears notifying the user that there are entities that CAD does not know how to handle (proxy entities). In order to make drawings more compatible with users with no access to MDT or other programs, this command converts the points to block insertions with attributes. The program asks if the user wishes to delete the original points. If so, the information stored in the points as additional attributes (measurement data, uncertainties, geotechnical depths, etc.) may be lost, but the names, coordinates and codes of the points are kept. If they are not deleted, each point will appear in the drawing twice.
