Better to import DWG file or PDF?

[Hanna N]

I will start making a planting plan and would need some help.

My colleague is working in Auto Cad and the concept has been done in DWG. Is it better to import my colleague's file as a DWG or a PDF? 

I noted that there are default design layers called 'trees', 'planting' etc. They all have a stacking order but I can't see the imported PDF file when I am in the 'planting' layer which makes it impossible to place the plants. What am I doing wrong?

Import the DWG, easy and quick.

PDFs can be imported, but why when you have the DWG?
