A Civil Designer Project may contain an AllyCAD, AutoCAD or DXF drawing, but may also contain other data files such as Roads data, Sewer, Storm or Water databases. The data from these files will be drawn on your Design Centre Window together with your AllyCAD drawing, but you will not be able to edit them using normal CAD functionality. By generating a Plot, you will create a new drawing containing all these data items as drawing entities.
