I have a client that wants the ArcPro sheets to deliver AutoCad formatted maps. How do I do this?

What do you mean by ArcPro sheets? Is it the ArcGIS Pro map data or something else? If you are talking about ArcPro Map data, you can use the "Export to CAD" geoprocessing tool.

I will try the geoprocessing tool. We design fiber to the home networks and export maps that are referred to as sheets. Thank you for the input.

ArcGIS Pro will export data in DWG/DXF.  But it does not export a layout  - a map page with a title block  - as DXF.  Is this what I think you mean by 'sheet'?

You can cut the data up into "sheet" chunks and export each as a separate DXF, but that won't get you DWG styled drawings without a ton of workarounds.

Yes that is what I meant by sheets. Our engineering firm designs fiber to the home networks. We then export maps that we refer to as sheets. They are just maps of the area of the fiber build. Our new client wants auto cad formatting but through ArcPro.  But, I am discovering that trying to put in text boxes like those of AutoCAD, that there is not a way to export them with the text boxes containing attributes from the layer files. I just need to know if it is possible. After 2 days I am about to give me final answer of no. We can manipulate the map sheets but we have to update the data in a pdf or bluebeam format.
