Additional Information

We apologize that we were unable to address this issue within the current product support cycle.  If the issue continues to affect your work in a supported release, please contact Technical Support.

Workaround

The attached "importcad_931.tbx" includes a model that runs the deprecated Import from CAD tool from 9.3.1 at version 10. This model will allow the user to explode complex objects (blocks from AutoCAD, CELLs from Microstation) to extract the features they contain and expose their attributes so the attribute tables can be joined to the feature classes in the output geodatabase.This workaround also allows access to Xdata from AutoCAD.
