You can use the CAD To Geodatabase tool to import the contents of one or more CAD datasets into a geodatabase. It merges feature classes and creates an annotation subclass for each text layer in the CAD file.
The following steps describe how to use the tool, accepting the default values:
- Open the CAD To Geodatabase tool dialog box.
- Drag one or more CAD datasets from the Catalog window into the Input Features text box.
- Click the Output Geodatabase browse button
and navigate to an existing geodatabase.
- Type a name for the new dataset in the Dataset text box.
- Accept the default value in the Reference scale text box.
- Accept the default projection file in the Spatial Reference text box.
- Click OK to run the tool.
