I'm trying to convert a CAD file to an ESRI shapefile. It is a file of water meter locations with attributes (condition, manufacture, etc). The points come through correctly, but none of the attributes are there. The field columns show up in the attribute table but they are empty. This is also the case when I just open the CAD file in ArcMap without any conversions. So ArcMap knows the fields are there, but can't seem to read the content. This is with AutoCAD Map 2011 and ArcMap 10. Any suggestions? Thanks.
