When I am going to convert shapefiles to Cad files so I can use that data in AutoCAD or any Cad reading software ArcGis Pro crashes at the point of conversion. Any suggestions

What release of ArcGIS Pro are you using?  One thing to try is to convert your shapefiles a file geodatabase feature class.  Then convert the fGDB FC to a *.dwg using the GP tool.  Does ArcGIS Pro still crash?  Please advise.

Hi Robert
I am using ArcGis Pro 2.4.0. I will try it and let you know. Thanks again, Robert.

Interesting.  Can you share the data via this thread so I can test it on my ArcGIS Pro installation?

Hi Justin - I do not see any link to download your data anywhere on this thread.  Did a quick overview of the entire thread, no data.  If you'd like, my email address is rleclair@esri.com to email the data.  Thx!

Hi Robert,

Thank you for your assistance here, the solution is to export the shapefiles to later versions of CAD like 2007 and up. When I tried versions 2000 to 2005 ArcGisPro crashed.
