Export to Shapefile with Handle IDs

Greetings,

I have closed polylines in a dwg file with a unique Handle ID for each. See snapshot below of an example. I'd like to export the closed polylines to a shapefile however struggling to retain the Handle ID in the exported shapefile.

Any advise?

I believe the Shape Import/Export Utilities does this; it's also how it transfers additional data that can be defined in Property Sets.

Carefully inspect any numeric values exported and watch for rounding.  Anyone can drag/drop the .DBF file created into Excel for viewing.

Hi @RupinderWilkhu 

When using the MAPEXPORT command, be sure to go to the Data tab > click Select Attributes > expand the Properties > check box the EHANDLE property.
