So, I've got a DGN file - I need this file to be a shapefile or geodatabase file that I can open in ArcGIS and mess around with. Essentially we are converting a bunch of CAD stuff over to GIS.
The DGN file has these layers
Annotation
Point
Polyline
Polygon
Multipatch
I can export out the polyline file and get a shapefile which gives me all of my lines, but the part I'm really stuck on is the annotation. With this specific DGN, I really just need the lines and annotations - is there any way to make these annotations work in ArcGIS? I've also tried 'Feature Class to Feature Class' but that seems about as helpful as exporting the Polyline layer to a shapefile.

I should also mention it's a shitload of labeling - I could just go back through and re-label it manually but that would take a lot of time (it's a huge map with a ton of details).
I'm probably leaving something out here - so forgive me. Any advice on this?
