Hi,

I am trying to write a DWG file with the units set to US survey feet. I can’t get it to work, its is in completely the wrong spot. I’m not entirely sure you can, but I’m not enough of and expert with FME (or US survey feet).

Looking at the help file for my FME version (2023.2) it doesn’t have us survey feet as a possible unit to set the insertion units to.

I have the unit set in a template file and that doesn’t help when the help says it should use this when I don’t explicitly set it.

I am writing to a 2018 DWG (as that is the newest). I know for older versions of DWG you could not set US survey feet

Does anyone have any ideas? Surely US survey feet is a more common unit than the parsec for a DWG

Thanks

Ignore this, it seems it is a problem with the file I am referencing this file into. I was assuming someone else had set it up right. My bad
