I'm not sure if minor revisions should be posted here, but I'll give it a shot.

 

Minor revision to the instructions to help users avoid confusion when using the CAD to Geodatabase (Conversion) tool.  One of the tool parameters is "Output Geodatabase", which implies that this tool will create a new geodatabase.  However, it actually requires an existing geodatabase.  Suggestion:  reword "Output Geodatabase" to "Target Geodatabase" to alleviate confusion.

Thanks for reaching out with this Idea. We labeled this field as "Output Geodatabase" to be consistent with labeling used in other geoprocessing tools that are entitled "... to Geodatabase". Like those other "... to Geodatabase" geoprocessing tools, we use the documentation and tooltips to specify the requirement that the geodatabase must already exist.

 

Given this post, we double checked that the requirement is specified in the documentation as well as the tooltip when the "CAD to Geodatabase" tool is loaded in ArcGIS Pro.
