Every so often I get asked by our CAD guy to export parcel owner labels in certain areas of the city in which we will be doing work, as he will be drawing up plans for that project.  I use a VBScript label expression on the parcel layer to get the relevant information he needs and in the format that he likes, and when I convert the labels to annotation it appears as he & I want it to look - the text block to be centered and then the center of the text block inserted at the center of each parcel:                                  IN ARCMAP:                                                                           IN ARCGIS PRO:   But when I use the Export to CAD GP tool it seems to ignore all the work I've done, more so in ArcGIS Pro, in getting the labels to appear as we want them:                                  IN ARCMAP:                                                                           IN ARCGIS PRO:   I've played around with as many settings as I can in converting the labels to annotation and exporting to CAD and don't seem to be getting anywhere.  My CAD guy says he can work with it in Civil 3D to get it the way he wants, but it seems like something I should be able to do on my end. Any ideas on how to get these labels to show up in CAD like they do in both ArcMap & ArcGIS Pro? ... View more

ArcMap Spatial Adjustment Toolbar.....  How I miss you!  Where did this go in ArcPro? I just want to move a dataset that is not projected into the correct location using established reference points. Georeferencing of rasters in ArcPro seems to be similar as in ArcMap, but editing a feature class to move/stretch it (or even multiple feature classes of different types in the same workspace) does not seem to be a possibility. Do I need to be employing the Conflation toolset with rubbersheeting abilities? This seems overly awkward and not at all like the methodology (similar to georeferencing) employed in ArcMap. Maybe I need to use editing tools like "transform" or similar? Just trying to establish a similar workflow for georeferencing unprojected CAD data in ArcPro. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I´m astonished that the ability to automatically convert CAD drawings to geodatabase in Pro 3.0. has been removed. Why? It makes my everyday work unnecessary more complicated. Or do I miss something here? ... View more

Hello, When I import an already georeferenced AutoCAD drawing into ArcGIS Pro, it does not land on the correct location.  I have used the following different ways to georeference my drawing in AutoCAD: 1. On AutoCAD 2018 there is a Geolocation tool in where I choose the geographic coordinate system and then start to draw. In ArcGIS I add the drawing and define the projection with the CAD Layer Tools Georeference tool to make sure its coordinate system is the same as the one I choose in AutoCAD but the drawing falls in another location way far. (To Set Geographic Location from a Map | AutoCAD 2018 | Autodesk Knowledge Network ) 2. I also tried using these directions in AutoCAD using the Arcgis for AutoCAD extension and then added the drawing in ArcGIS and it did not work either Dropbox - Tutorial Manual.pdf  I know how to manually scale and move the drawing to its correct location once it has been added into ArcGIS Pro using control points but I need the drawing to fall where I need it without me having to do it manually. I keep on reading about world files but I don't understand if I still need one even if the drawing has been georeferenced in AutoCAD using the tools they provide. If I need a world file how do I create one?  I don't understand what I am doing wrong since both AutoCAD and GIS have the same coordinate system. I would really appreciate some help.

Hello All, PLEASE NEED HELP....Can anyone help me how to migrating Map Template from ArcGIS Pro (many shp/feature class from several gdb and many symbols in legend) to DWG/DXF? the only thing I can do is to convert each feature class into dwg, but still its not just having too many layers to be converted but also how about converting the symbolize in legend...Thank alot ...
