DearRobert Scheitlin, GISP,
12 Attachments are Embedded Below:
I analysed All The Three Shapefiles - a) YEAR 2014 POINT OUTPUT HAVING TEXT DATA AUTOMATICALLY b) CURRENT YEAR 2016 POINT OUTPUT & c) CURRENT 2016 ANNOTATION OUTPUT:
My Analysis Results Are As Follows:
1. As I had written before "Actually in 2014 when I used to convert the selected DXF File to "Point" Shapefile in ArcGIS it gave me the result as shown in the 1st Attachment. But now when I use the Same File and the same procedure to create a Point Shapefile the resulting shapefile is very different since it does not show i.e. include the Text Data which is vital for me in the Shapefile. I want the generated Point Shapefile to include both the Points Geometry as well as the Associated Text Data. This used to happen Perfectly in the generated "_Text" type Point shapefile in the year 2014. Both the Point Geometry as well as the Associated Text used to appear Perfectly in the generated "_text" type Point Shapefile in the year 2014. But now the generated Point Shapefile (Image Attached) Omits the Associated Text Data Completely. So to overcome this problem I tried using Annotation type Shapefile instead of Point Type Shapefile. This Annotation type Shapefile does include the Associated Text Data but I think it omits the Points Geometry Data. Thus in the year 2014 the Point Shapefile included both Points as well as Text Data but I am unable to generate this type of file with the "_text" extension now."
2. We can see the difference in Outputs of the 2014 and 2016 files in the Attachments.
3. Also the 2014 Point Shapefile consists of 2 Parts (Please View Catalog Tree Attachments Number 6 & 7) whereas the New 2016 Point and Annotation Shapefile consists of only 1 Part each (Please View Catalog Tree Attachments Number 6 & 7). This is VERY IMPORTANT - THE 2014 OLD POINT SHAPEFILE USED TO BE OF 2 PARTS AS WE CAN SEE IN THE ARCMAP CATALOG TREE (ATTACHMENTS NUMBER 6 & 7) WHEREAS THE NEW 2016 POINT AND ANNOTATION SHAPEFILES CONSIST OF ONLY ONE PART HAVING THE POINT AND ANNOTATION / TEXT DATA RESPECTIVELY AND NOT COMBINED IN 2 PARTS LIKE THE 2014 POINT SHAPEFILE HAVING THE "_TEXT" EXTENSION & CONSISTING OF BOTH POINT AND TEXT / ANNOTATION DATA IN A SINGLE SHAPEFILE.
4.Thus the 2014 Point Shapefile used to automatically combine Point and Annotation Data in One Shapefile but the new 2016 Point Shapefile Omits the Text/ Annotation Data in the Point Shapefile and therefore we have to create a Separate Annotation Shapefile havong the Text Data.
Thanks For Your Great Help & With The Very Best Regards To You Sir,
Yours Sincerely,
Rahul.
