How to use Export to CAD Tool in ArcToolbox ArcMap ArcGIS??

Export to CAD 

Path to access the tool

:

Export to CAD Tool, To CAD Toolset, Conversion Toolbox

 

Export to CAD

Creates one or more CAD drawings based on the values contained in one or more input feature classes or feature layers and supporting tables.

1.    Input Features

A collection of feature classes and/or feature layers whose geometry will be exported to one or more CAD files.

2.    Output Type

The CAD platform and file version of the output files. This value overrides any Output_Type values contained in the keyname column or alias column CADFile_type.

1. DGN_V8—Microstation DGN file
2. DWG_R2018—DWG version 2018
3. DWG_R2013—DWG version 2013
4. DWG_R2010—DWG version 2010
5. DWG_R2007—DWG version 2007
6. DWG_R2005—DWG version 2005
7. DWG_R2004—DWG version 2004
8. DWG_R2000—DWG version 2000
9. DWG_R14—DWG version 14
10. DXF_R2018—DXF version 2018
11. DXF_R2013—DXF version 2013
12. DXF_R2010—DXF version 2010
13. DXF_R2007—DXF version 2007
14. DXF_R2005—DXF version 2005
15. DXF_R2004—DXF version 2004
16. DXF_R2000—DXF version 2000
17. DXF_R14—DXF version 14

3.    Output File

The path of the desired output CAD drawing file. This name overrides any drawing name information included in the input features columns or alias columns named DrawingPathName.

4.    Ignore Paths in Tables (optional)

Specifies whether the function will ignore or use the paths in the DrawingPathName. This allows the function to output CAD entities to specific drawings or ignore this and add to one CAD file.

1. Checked—The paths in the document entity fields will be ignored and the output of all entities will be added to a single CAD file. This is the default.
2. Unchecked—The paths in the document entity fields and each entity's path will be used so that each CAD part will be written to a separate file.

5.    Append to Existing Files (optional)

Specifies whether the output will be appended to an existing CAD file. This allows you to add information to a CAD file on disk.

1. Checked—The output file content will be added to an existing output CAD file. The existing CAD file content will not be lost.
2. Unchecked—The output file content will overwrite the existing CAD file content. This is the default.

6.    Seed File (optional)

An existing CAD drawing whose contents and document and layer properties will be used for all new output CAD files. The CAD platform and format version of the seed file overrides the value specified by the Output Type parameter. If appending to existing CAD files, the seed drawing is ignored.

Add CAD Fields

How to use Add CAD Fields Tool in ArcToolbox ArcMap ArcGIS??

Add CAD Fields

Path to access the tool

:

Add CAD Fields Tool, To CAD Toolset, Conversion Toolbox

 

Add CAD Fields

Adds several reserved CAD fields in one step. Fields created by this tool are used by the Export To CAD tool to generate CAD entities with specific properties. After executing this tool, you must calculate or type the appropriate field values.

1.    Input Table

Input table, feature class, or shapefile that will have the CAD-specific fields added to it.

2.    Entity Properties

Adds the list of CAD-specific Entity property fields to the input table

1. Checked—Adds the list of CAD-specific Entity property fields to the input table. This is the default.
2. Unchecked—Does not add the list of CAD-specific Entity property fields to the input table.

3.    Layer Properties (optional)

Adds the list of CAD-specific Layer property fields to the input table

1. Checked—Adds the list of CAD-specific Layer property fields to the input table. This is the default.
2. Unchecked—Does not add the list of CAD-specific Layer property fields to the input table.

4.    Text Properties (optional)

Adds the list of CAD-specific Text property fields to the input table

1. Checked—Adds the list of CAD-specific Text property fields to the input table. This is the default.
2. Unchecked—Does not add the list of CAD-specific Text property fields to the input table.

5.    Document Properties (optional)

Adds the list of CAD-specific Document property fields to the input table

1. Checked—Adds the list of CAD-specific Document property fields to the input table. This is the default.
2. Unchecked—Does not add the list of CAD-specific Document property fields to the input table.

6.    Add CAD XData Property Fields (optional)

Adds the list of CAD-specific XData property fields to the input table

1. Checked—Adds the list of CAD-specific XData property fields to the input table. This is the default.
2. Unchecked—Does not add the list of CAD-specific XData property fields to the input table.

Multipatch To Collada

How to use Multipatch To Collada Tool in ArcToolbox ArcMap ArcGIS??

Multipatch To Collada

Path to access the tool

:

Multipatch To Collada Tool, To Collada Toolset, Conversion Toolbox

 

Multipatch To Collada

Converts one or more multipatch features into a collection of COLLADA (.dae) files and referenced texture image files in an output folder. The inputs can be a layer or a feature class.

1.    Input Multipatch Features

The multipatch features to be exported.

2.    Output Collada Folder

The destination folder where the output COLLADA files and texture image files will be placed.

3.    Prepend Source Name (optional)

Prepend the file names of the output COLLADA files with the name of the source feature layer.

1. Checked—Prepend the file names.
2. Unchecked—Do not prepend the file names. This is the default.

4.     Use Field Name (optional)

The feature attribute to use as the output COLLADA file name for each exported feature. If no field is specified, the feature's Object ID is used.
