Attributes of block inserts created in the drawing will populate CAD block attributes with GIS feature attribute information if the block's attribute tag name matches a field name. Block insert entities or cells will be generated instead. Input point features with valid values in a field with a name or alias of RefName and a value of INSERT or CELL in a field with a name or alias of CADtype allow you to override the default behavior of creating point entities in the output CAD file. To add multiple fields at one time by functional category, use the Add CAD Fields tool. To add key-named CAD fields to the input feature class, use the Add Field tool. For example, you can include valid values in fields with a name or alias of Layer to control where CAD entities are created in the output CAD files. Using seed files allows you to reference layers and symbols by name to override the default output by including valid values in key-named fields of the output feature data. The spatial reference of the exported feature data will be written to the output CAD files.ĬAD seed files are used to populate the output CAD drawings with blocks, cells, layers, models, and layer symbology according to your CAD standards. dxf files that are supported by both ArcGIS desktop and the ArcGIS for AutoCAD plug-in to AutoCAD. Not all entity CAD entity types are supported for output features.īy default, output AutoCAD DWG or DXF formatted files will generate attributed ArcGIS feature classes in the. However, if the output features have a field named CADType with field values of POINT, CAD point entities will be generated in the CAD file rather than the TEXT field. For example, the default entity type for exporting feature annotation is TEXT. Output entity types can be overridden by valid values in a field with a name or alias of CADType in the feature attributes of the input feature. The default output CAD layer can be overridden by valid values of input features with a field with a name or alias of Layer or Level.īy default, the tool generates output CAD entity geometries most analogous to the input feature geometry. This tool will accept ArcGIS-supported point, polyline, polygon, annotation, or multipatch feature classes or their feature layers including those from BIM or CAD feature classes.īy default, the tool creates a CAD layer in the CAD file using the input feature layer name as the new CAD layer name for each input feature class or feature layer. Point, polyline, polygon, annotation, and multipatch feature classes and feature layers are valid inputs to this tool.
