I have created many stacked labels using the VB, JScript or Python label expression option in ArcMap. I find that this works really well. However, I have now been asked to create annotation layers for AutoCAD, and although I have been able to create some DWG annotation layers, so far I have only been able to do these one field at a time from the attribute table. And if I try to create separate annotation layers from different fields in one feature class the labels then all fall on top of each other and are not easily discernible.
Is there a way to convert the stacked label (or even a concatenated label) created in ArcGIS into a DWG annotation layer?
Is there perhaps a way to use the Convert Labels to Annotation option in ArcMap, and then convert that to a DWG annotation layer?
Thanks

Thanks for the feedback. I will spend some time today working on this. I have been able to get labels from ArcGIS into AutoCAD, but multiple labels all fall on the same points; hence, they overlap. It would be nice to stack them first and then be able to get them into AutoCAD...so I will certainly give your suggestion a more detailed look.
Thanks again.
maybe you don't follow Jayanta Poddar steps well.
Frist create multiple labels in ArcGIS.
then convert labels to annotation ( GIS annotation not CAD annotation).
use the Annotation layer to convert it to CAD Annotation.

I hope that clear Jayanta suggest .
Jayanta:
Yup...I got that to work. Thanks for the help.
Glad that worked out for you... Cheers!!!
