lets say I have a set of coordinates x1,y1 and x2,y2

 

how can i create a dwg with dimensions between these coordinates?

if possible a step by step guide with the transformers/writers required for this.

nevermind. i manage to do it using google AI. took me a while to figure it out cause that AI dosen’t give every little details from the start and after “complaining” from answer to answer i got my list of attributes

strange it didnt create any dimensions if i used a line as geometry. aggregator seems to work for this. i thought the important parts were the attributes but it seems that it needs a collection of points too.

i still have no clue why that link doesn’t work. am i not allowed or the page is gone?
