How is a CAD file converted to a geodatabase?
Reads a CAD dataset and creates feature classes of the drawing. The feature classes are written to a geodatabase feature dataset. This tool creates a new feature dataset in an existing geodatabase, which is added as a group layer in the map. The input features must be a CAD file. The CAD file will contain all the available homogenous geometries.
How to convert a CAD file to a GIS file?
Open the ArcCatalog window, and navigate to the geodatabase that contains the point, polyline polygon and multipatch features from the CAD file. Right-click the feature dataset, and select New > Feature Class . This will contain the annotation. Give the new annotation feature class a name, and click Next through the subsequent dialogs.
How to export geodatabase to XML workspace document?
Geodatabase To XML Workspace Document—Exports the feature dataset’s data or schema only to an XML Workspace Document using the Export XML Workspace Document geoprocessing tool. To export a feature class, you can use the context menu from either the Project tab in the Catalog pane or from within the Contents pane of a map or scene containing layers.
How can I export a CAD file to ArcMap?
If only features from a specific Layer or Level from the CAD file are required, Select by Attributes can also be used in ArcMap. After the required features are selected, right-click the name of the Layer in the TOC and select Data > Export Data. Only the selected features are exported.
How to import a GDB file into civil 3D?
Go to Solution. Solved by ChicagoLooper . Go to Solution. 01-16-2019 08:18 AM 01-16-2019 08:18 AM We have our GIS guru convert the files to a SHP file within ArcGIS. I haven’t figured out a way to go directly to Civil3d with a GDB file, but then I didn’t try real hard either. The GIS conversion works just fine. 01-16-2019 09:01 AM
How to import AutoCAD DWG files to GIS?
Right-click the feature dataset, and select Import > Feature Class (multiple) and browse to the CAD file. Double-click the CAD file to open, and select Point, Polyline, Polygon and Multipatch feature classes. Importing annotation by this method creates another point feature class, with each point at the anchor point for the annotation string.
Is the GDB compatible with C3D / M3D?
Gdb is not supported by C3D/M3D. You’ll have to use ArcMap or ArcCatalog and export the Feature Class to shapefile. Alternatively, you may also use third party software (e.g. QGIS, Global Mapper) to pull out the shapefile (s) a from the gdb.
