Additional Information
Field lengths are limited to ensure they work across various databases with different maximum lengths. The current 31-character length fits most of these database limitations, such as Oracle and Db2.Workaround
- Use the Add Field tool in ArcGIS Pro or ArcMap to create a field with a longer field name (on the output feature class obtained from the CAD To Geodatabase tool).
- Export the feature and change the field name through the field mapping option.
