Trying to produce a map to export to CAD that show different density layers via kriging with the Emperical Bayesian tool with polygon mask (lake). I can make the raster map easily but this map I can't export to CAD with the export to CAD tools. Is there a way around this? I tried to use a mask function to create a geostatistical layer but masks only work with raster. My last resort is to go over each percentage (0, 20, 40 etc) area with a create polygon tool but it seems like one should be able to do this easier! Thanks for the help

Andrew,

What are you trying to show in CAD? What would be your ideal end-result? Is it a polygon/line/point type feature? Or are you wanting to show a raster in CAD?

What CAD program are you using?  If you are using AutoCAD/Civil3D, there is a command to insert spatially referenced rasters in the proper coordinates(you would need to set the coordinate system for your drawing to the same coordinate system as your raster).  The command is "mapiinsert", depending on the file type you can select to use the header information for setting the input coordinates or a world file.

It would be a polygons with different levels (%) showing abundance.

Thank you!

Thank you, I will check to see what the 3rd party uses.

Much appreciated!

use the GA Layer To Contour tool to create polygons (features) rather than a raster.
