Shape files to Microstation V8i

I'm trying to import county GIS data (shape files) into microstation and all of the line work comes in great. The only problem is the addresses and street names do not show up. They show up as nodes and all of the county data is associated with the nodes. Is there anyway the text can be imported into microstation along with the shape file? Or what would be the best way to resolve this problem?

  • As an alternative method, you may also export an Annotation Feature Class (layer) from ArcMap.

    e.g. as within ESRI ArcMap 10.2

    a) [ArcMap > Table of Contents] > [Layer Context Menu]

    - Access the contextual (context) menu of a given layer.
    - Engage 'Label Features'

    This should:
    - cause your annotation to become displayed within the Data Frame
    - enable the context menu item 'Convert Layers to Annotation'

    b) [Layer Context Menu]
    - Choose 'Convert Layers to Annotation'

    c) [Convert Layers to Annotation]

    Note the name of the 'Annotation Feature Class' to be used.
    - Store Annotation: In the map
    - 'convert'

    This should:
    - result in addition of the newly created Annotation Feature Class layer to the Table of Contents the for the active *.MXD.

    d) [ArcMap > Geoprocessing > ArcToolbox…]

    Launch the 'Export to CAD' tool: … {Conversion Tools} > {To CAD} > {Export to CAD}

    e) [Export to CAD]

    - Input Features: (select the Annotation Feature Class named within 'c')
    - Output Type: DGN_V8
    - Output File: (your choice)
    - (OK)

    f) Result:
    Go to the Output File location specified within 'e' and await generation of the *.dgn.
    The file will not actually be produced (will not appear) until processing completes.
