Uploading Autocad into Arc Gis Pro

Hi , I am relatively new to using Arc Gis Pro.... Is it possible to upload JPG files into Arc Gis Pro and then use the uploaded files in the Create Features section?.

Yes, you can upload JPG files into ArcGIS Pro. From there, you’ll typically want to georeference the image so it aligns correctly with your map data.

ArcGIS Pro Georeferencing Tools Documentation

Once the JPG is georeferenced, you can use it as a reference layer and draw features over the image to trace or create data.

Keep in mind that a JPG is a raster image, so it cannot itself be edited in the Create Features pane. The Create Features tools are used to create vector features

In ArcGIS Pro 3.7, there is a new Extract Scanned Lines (Conversion Tools) | ArcGIS Pro documentation geoprocessing tool that creates line features from a scanned and georeferenced image - jpg - in your case.
