A GIS to CAD transformation requires schema changes so that the same features can be represented in a CAD environment.As GIS data has a specific data structure of features and attributes whereas a CAD files stores features as complex geometries with symbology and attributes as text.To maintain the same GIS representation as a CAD file, attributes are transformed into annotations and symbology.In addition to extracting the data to create an accurate representation, defining the content and style of the CAD objects is necessary.
This article provides an overview of some of the typical tasks performed in a GIS to CAD transformation.
The source file geodatabase, "NorthVancouver.gdb", is read using the Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Open API) reader.

Each of the three feature types undergoes a number of similar transformations to produce text features from attribute values.Once text features have been created, each are styled and attributes are added by the same process.
The process to style and create DGN features from Geodatabase attributes and features for each of the three features types are the same.
