The CAD to Geodatabase tool is used to import annotations, points, polylines, polygons, and multipatch features from the CAD file. However in some instances, the text color and font from the CAD annotations are changed upon import. These changes may include the color being changed to black and/or the font style being changed as well. Here is an example:

The following steps explain how to convert the CAD text entities into an annotation feature class while preserving the original text properties.

Ensure the Catalog window is docked in ArcMap.

Open an ArcMap session, and add the CAD annotation layer to the map document. a. Double-click the CAD file in the Catalog window. b. Select only the CAD annotation layer to add to ArcMap. Do not add the CAD group layer.
Set the Display units to the units of the CAD drawing. a. Right-click the Layers data frame in the Table of Contents, and navigate to Properties > Data Frame > General tab. b. In the Data Frame Properties dialog box, set the Display under the Units box to the units of the CAD data, normally feet or meters. c. Click the Apply button, and click OK.
Determine an appropriate reference scale. a. Zoom in on the annotation from the CAD file, until the text is displayed at a suitable size either for display in ArcMap, or for printing. b. Check the scale in ArcMap. The scale must be adjusted to an even value, for example, 1:800, 1:1600, or 1:2400.
In the Catalog window, create an empty annotation feature class in a file geodatabase. a. In the Catalog window, expand the file geodatabase that was created using the CAD to Geodatabase tool. b. Right-click the feature dataset, select New > Feature Class. In the 'New Feature Class' dialog box, select 'Annotation Features'.
Add the 'Convert Coverage Annotation' tool to the ArcMap session. a. From the ArcMap menu bar, go to Customize > Customize Mode > Commands tab > select 'Label' from the Categories list. b. In the Commands list, search for the Convert Coverage Annotation tool.
Click the newly added Convert Coverage Annotation icon, and the Convert Coverage Annotation dialog box opens asking to select the desired annotation layer to convert.
In the Convert Coverage Annotation dialog box , select 'Into a database', and click the folder icon to navigate to the empty annotation feature class created in Step 4 to add the annotation. Click Convert, and click Close.
