Summary
Converts objects from a CAD file to a defined feature class type along with the point features that are near those CAD features.
Usage
If you change the visibility of a field from the Field control parameter to false, you will omit that field from the output feature class.
Complex feature classes, such as annotation and dimensions, are not supported by this tool.
If a SQL expression is used but returns nothing, the output feature layer will be empty.
