Hi @Fleww,
Vanilla AutoCAD can't do anything with an ESRI Shapefile. You need either Map 3D or Civil 3D.

@Fleww Buy an add-on from a 3rd party, or install/use AutoCADMAP3D (free to subscribers of plain AutoCAD), or ditch your subscription and get Civil3D.

DotSoft's GeoLocPlus is a low-cost add-on that will let you import shapefiles directly into plain AutoCAD (2015 or higher) and also provides an easy way to label the extended data (even using centroids for polylines).

Hi @Fleww,
2 ways. Use FDO Connection (MAPCONNECT) and style features with Map tools, or use a Map Annotation Template.

For some reason Autodesk doesn't put that icon in the Block Editor. You can add it with the CUI or use Command MAPANNTEXT.
