An overview of the To Geodatabase toolset

The geodatabase toolset contains tools to convert and write data to a geodatabase.

Tool

Description

CAD to Geodatabase

Reads a CAD dataset and creates feature classes of the drawing. The feature classes are written to a geodatabase feature dataset.

Feature Class to Feature Class

Converts a shapefile, coverage feature class, or geodatabase feature class to a shapefile or geodatabase feature class.

Feature Class to Geodatabase

Converts one or more feature classes or feature layers to geodatabase feature classes.

Import CAD Annotation

Converts a collection of CAD annotation features to geodatabase annotation. You can convert each level to individual annotation classes or merge them into a single class. Also, if you choose map layers as input, the level and font overrides will be honored.

Import Coverage Annotation

Converts a collection of coverage annotation features to geodatabase annotation. You can convert each level to individual annotation classes or merge them into a single class. Also, if you choose map layers as input, the level and font overrides will be honored.

Raster to Geodatabase

Loads multiple raster datasets into a geodatabase or raster catalog.

Table to Geodatabase

Converts one or more tables to geodatabase tables in an output personal, file, or SDE geodatabase. The inputs can be dBASE, INFO, VPF, OLE DB tables, or geodatabase tables, or table views.

Table to Table

Converts an input table to a dBASE or geodatabase table.

Recommendation

Import From CAD

Use the Feature_Class_To_Feature_Class tool to import individual CAD feature classes. Use the CAD To Geodatabase tool to load multiple CAD drawing datasets.
