Hi everyone,

I’m running into an issue where FME hangs while reading a DWG file using the ACAD reader. The translation process stops and doesn’t progress past the following message:

while reading dwg file translation will be stopped by 'LogCount_func' Loaded module 'LogCount_func' from file 'C:\Program Files\FME\plugins/LogCount_func.dll' FME API version of module 'LogCount_func' matches current internal version (4.0 20240212)

Additionally, when using a PythonCaller with arcpy, I can confirm that the Python Factory locale is being flipped from UTF-8 (German_Austria.utf8) to ANSI (German_Austria.1252):

import locale print("Startup locale:", locale.getlocale()) import arcpy print("After arcpy:", locale.getlocale())

Output:

Startup locale: ('German_Austria', 'utf8') After arcpy: ('German_Austria', '1252')

This matches the warnings shown in the FME log:

PythonFactory script changed the current FME process locale from 'German_Austria.utf8' to 'German_Austria.1252' and FME has restored it back to 'German_Austria.utf8'. It is undefined behavior to change locale and doing so may cause unexpected errors. For more information, visit http://fme.ly/PythonLocaleError
