arcgis desktop - Problem in exporting Annotation data to shp


when transferring my .dgn file to .shp in Arcgis, I can't export the annotations to .shp !!! I do not know why the outil "export data" is disabled !!!


However, when importing the file .dgn in Arcgis, I can see the annotations but the problem is it can't be exported to .shp


How would I fix this?

Answer




  1. Convert to geodatabase annotation using right click

  2. Use Add geometry attributes tool to add EXTENT or CENTROID. This will populate table with one or two pairs of coordinate.


  3. Export annotation table to standalone table




  4. Use pair of coordinates of your choice from this table as input to Add XY Data, and convert resulting event layer to point feature class. This is where you can finally use Right Click. Note you can define any of 4 corners of annotation extent to be your anchor point





If you follow solution by @geojwh you'll see the same thing, you see now, i.e. greyed out Data-Export Data item
