Export DWG File with Esri MSC

This command is used to create a new drawing file that contains Esri MSC Feature data.

The drawing is scanned for MSC data and further, which are new entities with MSC, which are entities with edited geometry, and which are entities with edited attributes. The user specifies which are to be included in the new drawing file. On OK, a new drawing file name is specified. 

The drawing is scanned for MSC data and the list is populated with represented Feature Classes. You can select which ones to include in the Export (Export Yes/No column). The check boxes at the bottom allow you to choose whether to Export the unmodified entities for the selected Features, new entities, entities with CAD edits, such as Trim, Extend, Move, etc, and entities with edited attributes. On OK, a new drawing file name is specified. There is also a Report function to review the changes and to make a record of these transactions.

One possible application of this command is to create a DWG from ArcGIS with its Export to CAD tool, open the drawing in Carlson and edit it, and then use this command to send the edits back to ArcGIS as a new DWG with MSC.
