Exporting blocks to SDF

[Anonymous]

I have some blocks (circles) in my dwg. I want to export them fo features (SDF). I use Export command and create SDF file in folder.

But when I am trying to import SDF back in MAP I get message:

There was a problem adding data to Map.

There is no geometry property in the feature class.

What seems to be the problem here?

Hi,

can you:

- upload the drawing you are speaking about (to see how you defined your features)

- upload the SDF you got from your _MAPEXPORT command

- upload the screenshot of the error message (so we see all from the message-dialog)

circles are not polygons in autocad, thence they do not export to polygon sdf.

some options

draw a polygon with 1024 sides,  sort of a circle but is a polygon

draw a pl arc 360degrees closed

or draw the circles and on a new layer use BPOLY snapping inside each circle so you can turn off the layer with circles for convenience or copy and paste bpoly from on location to another if they are the same size

then you can mapexport the polygons.

the attached sdf was made from a bpoly polygon and has centroid and color attributes

mapimport the sdf and you see four handles at quadrants

OK. More detailed description follows.

I have part of water digital network. I have checked it for topology errors by cleanup drawing.

I got error markers which are blocks.

I selected one marker and right click select similar.

Then save as As SDF:

Set options:

 

When I imported SDF back in MAP I got:

If you are trying to export the error markers when you ran the mapcleanup then I do not think the markers are Autocad entites that can be exported. You last image is to smart to see, can you up load the dwg or at least zoom in on the image then post it?
