NOTE When you export from a map, only drawing objects are exported. Geospatial
features are ignored. To move geospatial feature data to another format, use
Migrating GIS Data (Bulk Copy) (page 617).

Before moving drawing data to SDF
Clean up any geometry errors. (page 1591)
Use the AutoCAD Map 3D cleanup tools to correct any geometry errors
introduced during drafting, digitizing, or converting the data before you
export it.
Add attribute data to objects (page 1047) or classify (page 981) the drawing
(DWG) objects you are exporting.
If you create object data tables within a map and add attribute information
or linked objects to data in an external data source, such as a database,
you can export those attributes. If you classify objects, you can use those
classes as the basis for your export.
Decide how to export the data to SDF.
You can export to a single feature class that uses all the items you specified
on the Feature Class tab. To do this, click Create a single class from all
selected objects and type a name for that class.
You can
export data to multiple classes at one time (page 1439) and combine
the data organization in your drawing with your selections on the Feature
Class tab to determine the attributes for each exported feature class.
