Hi Shaun,

Can you check the "Query" of these feature classes created in AutoCAD?

Whoops, my bad.  I forgot there's a subforum here for ArcGIS for Autocad.  Check there.

This might be better to ask on the Autodesk forums since it's an issue inside of AutoCAD.  There are various ways to use shapefiles in AutoCAD depending on what version you use, and whether you want to convert it to an actual CAD file (turn your features into blocks, etc) or if you only want to reference the original shapefile.  I use Map 3D 2012 so if that's what you use then I might be able to help, otherwise there are lots of folks on the CAD forum who could.
