Workaround

THIS IS NOT A WORKAROUND. THIS BELONGS IN DETAILED DESC. ABOVE, BUT I CANNOT ADD IT THERE.Ran Add CAD Fields on the polygon and annotation feature classes and edited the values as follows:For polygon feature classCalculated CadType = PolylineCalculated LyrName = Small or Largefor annotation feature classCalculated CadType = TextCalculated LyrName = Small or Large to match polygon feature class valuesCalculated TxtMemo = TextStringSaved edits, stopped editing, and refreshed ArcCatalog.Using the Export to CAD Tool, and exporting to a version 2004 DWG file, clicked OK on the Export to CAD Tool, and got the following error:Microsoft Visual C++ Debug LibraryDebug Error!Program: C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Bin\ArcCatalog.exeabnormal program terminationPress Retry to debug the application.Pressing Retry makes ArcCatalog totally disappear.Taking exactly the same data, without running Add CAD Fields beforehand, the polygon feature class, and annotation feature class export to CAD correctly, and the application doesn't crash!=================================================Testing further:Did Add CAD Fields to both polygon and annotation feature classes.In an ArcMap Edit session:annotation:Calculated CADType = TextCalculated Layer = <layer name>Calculated TxtMemp = TextStringpolygonsCalculated CADType = PolylineCalculated Layer = <layer name>This worked without crashing.
