My issue is that I want to export the sewer gems network with all attributes into AutoCAD. Is there any way that I can do that.
Hello Rahul,
You can export your SewerGEMS model to a DXF format which can be opened in AutoCAD and saved as a drawing (.DWG) format. See the below article on how you can do this;
How to save model plan view to an image or CAD file
Hope this helps.

Sir I exported the dxf file but it's a 2d drawing with no elevations I wanted to have a file having various attributes like dia and elevations also into dxf format
Exporting to dxf format, you have less control over what to export except options specified on export. If you have SewerGEMS integrated with AutoCAD, then you can open SewerGEMS models directly in AutoCAD integrated platform.
Could you please tell us what are you trying to achieve here, so we can help you with other options.
When you export the model as shapefiles you have full control over what to export.

I have a network for a sector of a city and the consultancy guys are using autocad and civil 3d to make the layout. But as I want to analyse it in autocad so I asked them to create shapefiles so that I can into the software using modelbuilder. But they are not able to create shapefile having all the attributes like diameter of pipes and manholes gis ids also elevations.
So is there a way they can create correct shapefiles or another way to send file which I can load in sewergems
Rahul,
This Wiki article explains which files are required to open a model in the Integrated product. For WaterCAD, you need the .dwg, .wtg, and .wtg.sqlite files in a folder in order to open a WaterCAD model with the Integrated product.
Please let us know if they can give you a copy of the model (including these three files) and open it in the integrated product.
Thank-you,Larry
