CAD to Feature Class will not convert CAD annotation to point shapes.

Heya, 😄

I�??m currently trying to convert CAD annotations to Points (shp), the points need to be from the centre of the annotation as there representing depths.

However the method of using the samples tool, > CAD to feature class places the points to the left of the annotation, (When you enter select feature class type as annotation). When you put point in this field nothing happens and no data even converts. Though it does seem like this should work?

Does anyone know how to use this tool to get a point in the middle of the annotations? seems like such a simple task, however pulling my hair out trying to do so! :confused:

Thanks Guys

Any help is much appreciated.

if you use the CAD to Geodatabase tool to convert the CAD then use the Data Management>Features>Feature To Point tool to convert the anno to points it should put it in the center

An Arcview license does not enable the Features to Points tool; would have to purchase ET-Geotools, or export points from Autocad Map.
