Hi Vikas,

Could you zip and attach the CAD file for me to check? You could also reach me at joypoddar.87@gmail.com

Hi Vikas,

Thank you for sharing the sample CAD file.

Shapefiles don't support Annotation. Use File Geodatabase for storing the exported feature classes. You should use one of the following tools to get appropriate annotation in a File Geodatabase.

1. CAD to Geodatabase (Conversion)

2. Import CAD Annotation (Conversion)

Note: A few texts might not get imported correctly.
