Additional Information

All of the attribute information from the feature classes are always created when exported to AutoCAD DWG files. To verify this, add the DWG file back into ArcGIS Pro and open the attribute table. However, by default, AutoCAD cannot show this attribute information. To view this attribute information in AutoCAD, use the free plug-in ArcGIS for AutoCAD. With this plug-in loaded into AutoCAD, the attributed feature classes that are exported into the DWG are readable.
