I having trouble exporting a CAD file from a shapefile source and the new CAD file being "attributed" with all of the attribute data from the shapefile. How is this done? I'm missing something here...

    Global Mapper doesn't currently support providing generic attribution to exported DXF/DWG files. You can only get the display label and elevation exported to those formats.

    Thanks,

    Some shapefiles, when loaded, don't have display labels, but other ones do. Is there a special field name or a certain order for the fields in the shapefile for Global Mapper to see it as a display label?

    Yes, Global Mapper automatically recognizes several attribute names as a display label. You can also select which attribute(s) to use as the label on the Options dialog for the layer.

    Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
