Hey there,
I have a client who is requesting data in an AutoCAD format with the attribute data beign vital to display in AutoCAD 2013. I exported the requested data to a shapefile and used the geoprocessing tool, Export to CAD, thinking it was that simple. Well they didn't not see the attribute data along with the points. I then searched the forums and following threads:
http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//00100000001r000000.htm
http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//001000000073000000.htm
Those pointed me towards the seed file creation and also the extra fields on the shapefile. I did these steps and know the client can't even view the file sent over. And I can't see the file in my AutoCAD. It as if there was no data in the export. I'm using ArcMap Info 10.0 SP 3, AutoCAD Lt 09 at my work station? They have AutoCAD 2013\12 I believe.
Questions are what level of AutoCAD does this tool support? Do we need to download the AutoCAD plug-in at both workstations to view the data, being exported by the geoprocessing tool? Do I need to create a geodatabase feature and annotation features? Are there any more steps or tricks I might be missing, any help or thoughts would be apperciated.
