Yep. Although I'm not sure why reading shape objects would be useful to be honest.

Keeping existing shape objects would be handy and probably easier to implement than full reading support.

Hopefully they should be able to take what has been done and extend it to
support reading/modification of existing drawings.

At the moment creating a drawing on a sheet will not keep any existing drawings. The potential is there to try and support reading drawing objects but the initial requirement was to support writing so I played it safe and didn't attempt to interpret existing shape objects.
