These normalized tables can be linked together using key fields, such as the EntID that is also found in the feature classes created by the Import CAD tool.

If a table in the output feature dataset or workspace has the same name as one created by ImportCAD, the table will be deleted and re-created. The Import from CAD tool does not support the creation of annotation feature classes. The CAD property tables can be accessed from the output workspace in a model or script using the Select Data tool.

Likewise, the feature classes generated from the CAD data can be accessed using the Select Data tool on the output feature dataset.

CAD text and attribute entities are converted to point features. If you are going to copy the DocPath field in the CadDoc feature class or the TextMemo field in the TxtProp table from the staging geodatabase to a ArcSDE geodatabase, there are some limitations you need to be aware of.

For information about limitations of your ArcSDE geodatabases, see your system administrator. Portions of the information in these fields are duplicated in other fields. They have a shorter field length, so they can be moved to an ArcSDE geodatabase. This function is generally used in the process of translating CAD data to an existing geodatabase using a series of other geoprocessing functions in a script or ModelBuilder model and as such, the resulting data from this function is typically temporary.

Normalized tables are generated in the specified output workspace. These tables contain the tabular attributes of the layer properties, text properties, entity properties, block or cell attributes, and extended entity data or MSLink values.

Procedure The following steps are useful when applied to an AutoCAD drawing file in the native application, before adding the file to ArcMap. If these files are opened and re-saved in AutoCAD, some of the Object data may be converted to entities that draw in ArcMap or convert to a geodatabase.

Create a copy of an AutoCAD file. Save a copy for the drawing file in AutoCAD with a name that does not contain spaces or hyphens. If the name contains spaces or hyphens, substitute both characters with underscores.
