Feature Class to Feature Class Tool, To Geodatabase Toolset, Conversion Toolbox

 

Feature Class to Feature Class

Converts a shapefile, coverage feature class, or geodatabase feature class to a shapefile or geodatabase feature class.

1.    Input Features

The feature class or feature layer that will be converted.

2.    Output Location

The location in which the output feature class will be created. This can be either a geodatabase or a folder. If the output location is a folder, the output will be a shapefile.

3.    Output Feature Class

The name of the output feature class.

4.    Expression (optional)

An SQL expression used to select a subset of features.

5.    Field Map (optional)

The fields and field contents chosen from the input feature class. You can add, rename, or delete output fields as well as set properties such as data type and merge rule.

6.    Configuration Keyword (optional)

No description available.

Feature Class to Geodatabase (multiple)

Converts one or more feature classes or feature layers to geodatabase feature classes.

1. Input Features

One or more feature classes or feature layers to be imported into a file, personal, or enterprise geodatabase.

2. Output Geodatabase

The output or destination geodatabase. This can be a file, personal, or enterprise geodatabase.

Import CAD Annotation and Import Coverage Annotation

Converts a collection of CAD annotation features to geodatabase annotation. You can convert each level to individual annotation classes or merge them into a single class. Also, if you choose map layers as input, the level and font overrides will be honored.

1.    Input features

The CAD annotation features that you want to convert to geodatabase annotation. If you choose a CAD annotation layer in ArcMap, the following properties of that layer will be honored during the conversion:

1. Visible drawing layers. Only those layers that are turned on for drawing will be converted.
2. Substitution of font and color properties for the text symbol.
3. Selection. Only the selected features will be converted.
4. Definition Query. Only visible features that match the definition query will be converted.

2.    Output feature class

The geodatabase annotation feature class to which you want to convert CAD annotation.

3.    Reference scale

Enter the scale to use as a reference for the annotation. This sets the scale to which all symbol and text sizes in the annotation will be made relative.

4.    Create annotation classes from levels (optional)

This parameter is only available with ArcGIS Desktop Standard and ArcGIS Desktop Advanced licenses.

Specify whether all CAD drawing layers or levels will be converted to annotation classes within the feature class.

1. Checked—Each level or layer will be converted to an annotation class within the Output Feature Class. This is the default.
2. Unchecked—All CAD drawing levels or layers will be converted to a single annotation class within the Output Feature Class.

5.    Match symbols from first input (optional)

If you are converting CAD annotation from more than one drawing file and need to substitute the font properties for a symbol and apply that to all the input features, you can use this option.

1. Uncheked—Each drawing file retains its own font properties. This is the default.
2. Checked—Match the symbols from the first input layer and have them apply to all layers.

6.    Require symbols to be selected from the symbol table (optional)

Specify if the output annotation features will reference a symbol stored in the symbol collection for the feature class.

1. Unchecked—The output annotation features will not reference a symbol stored in the symbol collection for the feature class. This is the default.
2. Checked—The output annotation features will reference a symbol stored in the symbol collection for the feature class.

7.    Feature-linked (optional)

This parameter is only available with ArcGIS Desktop Standard and ArcGIS Desktop Advanced licenses.

Choose whether the output annotation feature class will be linked to the features in another feature class.

1. Unchecked—The output annotation feature class will not be linked to the features in another feature class. This is the default.
2. Checked—The output annotation feature class will be linked to the features in another feature class.

8.    Linked feature class (optional)

1. This parameter is only available with ArcGIS Desktop Standard and ArcGIS Desktop Advanced licenses.
2. The feature class to which you are linking annotation features. The feature class must be a point, line, or polygon feature class. If converting annotation into a desktop, workgroup, or enterprise geodatabase, the link feature class must not be registered as versioned.
3. This option is only available if you choose Feature-linked for the previous parameter.

9.    Create annotation when new features are added (Feature-linked only) (optional)

This parameter is only available with ArcGIS Desktop Standard and ArcGIS Desktop Advanced licenses.

Specify whether new annotation will be generated when you add new features to the feature class to which this annotation feature class is linked.

This option is only available if you check the Feature-linked parameter and specify a Linked Feature Class.

1. Checked—The ArcMap Editor will automatically generate a new piece of annotation when you add new features to the feature class to which this annotation feature class is linked. This is the default.
2. Unchecked—The ArcMap Editor will not automatically generate a new piece of annotation when you add new features to the feature class to which this annotation feature class is linked.

10. Update annotation when the shape of the linked feature is modified (Feature-linked only) (optional)

This parameter is only available with ArcGIS Desktop Standard and ArcGIS Desktop Advanced licenses.

Specify whether to automatically update the placement of annotation when you edit features in the feature class to which this annotation feature class is linked.

This option is only available if you check the Feature-linked parameter and specify a Linked Feature Class.

1. Checked—The annotation will be repositioned according to the modified feature shape. This is the default.
2. Unchecked—The annotation will remain in its original position.
