expose autocad_entity using a FeatureReader

Heya FME-cracks,

 

 

I recently built a workbench reading a DWG with the AutoDesk reader, expose autocad_layer and autocad_entity, yadayadaydada. Now I want to make it more generic, using a FeatureReader to read the DWG, fed by the Directory and File Pathnames reader.

 

 

Problem is: how to expose the autocad_entity attribute?

 

 

What I tried so far:

• AttributeExposer transformer connecter to the Generic output port from the FeatureReader. Nope.
• Attributes to Expose in the FeatureReader Parameters. Nope again.
• Additional Attributes to Expose in the AutoDesk reader in the FeatureReader Parameters. Still nothing.

The only result I get is autocad_insert when exploding blocks into entities, but I need all...

 

The attributes autocad_layer & autocad_text_string are exposed correctly.

 

 

Using 64 bit FME 2015.1.0.1 (15480)

 

 

Thanks!

 

 

Niels

 

 

PS My workaround will be using fme_geometry instead, but having a hard time not being able to solve this one.
