Understanding your Data
When doing it wrong is the right thing to do
Polyline != Parcels
Demo: Data Loading from CAD
A better solution
Understand the goal g
Load just the new parcels with attributes
Understand U d t d the th problem bl
Parcel boundaries built into polygons Attaching g interior text as attribute QA in CAD
Using the right tools
CAD CAD-based feature classes for polylines and text Geoprocessing tools
If only we could use attributes in AutoCAD
