■ To filter the selection to export only objects on specific layers or in
specific classes, specify the layers and classes to include.
■ To export polygons from a polygon topology, select the topology.
■ To preview the objects that will be exported, click Preview Filtered
Selection.
5 On the Data or Feature Class tab, click Select Attributes and select the
data to export with the objects.
TIP If you are exporting data from an external database, you can export the
entire record from the database or just the key fields. Because the key field
values are stored in the map, choosing the key field (listed under Link
Templates) makes the export faster.
6 On the Options tab, select the options you want.
■ To perform a coordinate conversion, you must have a coordinate
system
assigned to the map (page 147).
■ Check Treat closed polylines as polygons (if it is available) unless you
want only polygon objects to be exported as polygons.
■ Click Driver Options to set the options described on the Concept tab
for this topic.
7 Click OK to begin the export process.
Exporting to ESRI ArcSDE
You can export data from your DWG to a connected ESRI ArcSDE database.
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).
Exporting
You cannot append data to an ESRI ArcSDE data store when exporting from
AutoCAD Map 3D. You must map your DWG data to the existing database
schemas.
