+3I am having trouble converting the dwg/CAD file to a file geodatabase. I convert it to a shapefile; there is no problem. Any ideas whats going on?
This file a has plan layouts of a building. It shows floor plans for 3 different floors.
See attached file
+6Hi @13gamat,
May I please ask what the differences/issues are with the Geodatabase output versus the Shapefile output? What do you want to keep/retain from the DWG in the output that the Geodatabase Feature Class(es) are missing? Do you have a workspace you are currently working on that you might be able to share with us? The above information would be very helpful in addressing your question.
+3Hi Annabelle,
Thank you for your email. It worked. My geodatabase file is good to go. I have to now define the domains of the geodatabase. I will keep you informed.
On a different note, can you provide me two to three points as justification of why FME DWG/CAD conversion tool is simply the best in the industry! ( at least I think so)
I love it but I need to convince my clients. I want to put that in the proposal.
Thanks
Appreciate all your help.

I'm happy to hear you have your desired workflow up and running! To assist others who may experience a similar issue, would you be able to shed some insight/share your resolution with the community? I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated!
In terms of demonstrations and more information on FME as a conversion tool for DWG to Geodatabase/GIS, I think this page would be a great starting point : https://www.safe.com/solutions/for-data-types/cad-to-gis/
