Shapefiles and AutCAD 2013

Question

Can someone tell me how to import an ESRI Shapefile into AutoCAD 2013 (Note: I do not have AutoCAD 3D, AutoCAD Map, or AutoCAD Civil)?

Yup...I can help with that.

I bet your text is from labels?  ExportCAD will create CAD text from geodatabase annotation.  So create annotation from your labels and export the resultant annotation feature class, appending to your existing CAD file.

Hola Michael,

Yes, I do have ArcMap, I work for Esri here in Support Services. Is their something we can assist you with, with regard to shapefile to cad. 
Gracias!

Lucky you...AutoCAD 2013 has no problem reading earlier AutoCAD files.

Export to CAD won't create a 2013 file, but it will create a 2010 file which can be easily read by AutoCAD 2013.
