Exporting from ESRI GDB to CAD

April 22nd, 2009 by John Selkirk. Posted in C#, ESRI, GIS

I am implementing a project that needs to export from the ESRI GDB into DXF format. There are many ways to do this but one of the main requirements is that we should not had to the list of royalties required to deploy the system. The application will use an ArcGIS Engine Runtime license so that is that I have to run within.

After some investigation I found a component online which is completely .NET based with royalty free distribution. The component is Cablib by WoutWare. The API is simple and easy to use but provides all the power that is needed for this project.

    John. I am looking to convert file GDB to something that can be used in AutoCAD. I do not have ESRI. What would be my best option?

    Hi,

    The FileGDB is not a published format and all of the tools that I know of that convert GDB to CAD require a ESRI license.

    Sorry. You might want to look at FME from Safe Software and see if they have anything.

    John.
