<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Safe Software's FME also allows you to
write to multiple feature classes in SDF. Send me a note offline if you're

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not sure if Haris' fdo2fdo has the
ability to create multiple feature classes during transfer yet. When I
initially tried it it has problems because the SDF schema couldn't be redefined
to add additional tables.</FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Seems to be some holes
here. Dwgtosdf3.arx only works with classified dwgs. Using the tools in the
display manager only works with one layer at a time(no append). So one of the
nice features of sdf3 is the multiple feature classes in one file. Does anyone
own one of these files? The only source it could have come from is a classified
dwg. Is that correct? I am not wanting to use the sdf format except that I have
considered it for “sending” data to other autodesk users/requestors. Another
note: I have had a bulk copy running for 4 hrs now. The original data arcsde is
approx 40MB. My sdf output is now at 82MB.</SPAN></FONT></P>
