Simply pick on the points of interest STF and streets and drag and drop it into your AutoCAD. Now it automatically attaches and renders in a default style. For example, on my screen I've got a blue point of interest and a green street. Your screen may have different colors depending on what random color AutoCAD map chooses, When you drag and drop a file into the CAD drawing. If you click on data connected data, you'll see that the points of interests was already connected and added to map and the streets was automatically connected and added a map. So the great thing about vector based data is that you can just drag and drop it…
