When you import Creo Elements/Direct*.mi, *.bi, and *.bdl drawings with the VIEWS option, Drawing Associative with 3D Model, selected in the Import MI dialog box, the following associative views of the drawings are transferred to Creo Parametric:

The following views are imported as 2D views with model geometry as draft entities:

A detailed view is a specific area of an existing parent view and is defined by a border. You can create a section view to show the cross-section of a part. The cross-section views created in the imported drawings are associative and their orientation is mapped correctly. The dimension in the cross-section views are imported as associative dimensions. The related cross-section arrows are imported as draft entities by default. You must set the intf2d_in_ced_xsec_arrows configuration option to yes to import them as associative cross-section arrows.

The orientation of the views after you import the Creo Elements/Direct*.mi, *.bi, and *.bdl drawings are the same as the orientations of the views before the import of the Creo Elements/Direct drawing files. View sets that include view-specific details such as the standard and dependent views, references between the drawings and the 3D models, drawing structure information such as sheets, layout, scaling, construction geometry, symbol parts, hatch types, and so on that constitute the 3D model data and is relevant for the creation of drawings are imported.
