My shapefile has elevation contour lines with a contour elevation number assigned to each one. So I can sort them by unique values from lowest to highest and then symbolize them with a color ramp. This makes a nice display and tells the story at a glance.&nbsp;</P><P>But we want to use this data as a background layer in an AutoCAD drawing and I have no clue how to export it to AutoCAD and retain the symbology.&nbsp;</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 23 Jan 2020 16:56:32 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/aec-architecture-engineering-and-construction/how-can-i-symbolize-a-shapefile-in-arcgis-and/m-p/6764#M1 DonRodgers 2020-01-23T16:56:32Z Re: How can I symbolize a shapefile in ArcGIS and transfer that symbology to AutoCAD? https://community.esri.com/t5/aec-architecture-engineering-and-construction/how-can-i-symbolize-a-shapefile-in-arcgis-and/m-p/6765#M2 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>If you share it as a web layer to ArcGIS Online, you can access from AutoCAD using the free <A href="https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-for-autocad">ArcGIS for AutoCAD</A> plug in.
