CAD To Feature Class (Samples)

Summary

Converts objects from a CAD file to a defined feature class type along with the point features that are near those CAD features.

Legacy:

This tool has been deprecated. For more information, see An overview of the Samples toolbox.

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.
