Hi, I have a Civil 3D CAD model and need to extract information from the Drawing Settings.
However, the available data comes from the Drawing Units window instead
, which can be very different from what’s in the Drawing Settings
Question
Civil3D drawing settting information

Hi
The projection information from the Drawing Settings should be read in FME as the coordinate system on the data. If you use a CoordinateSystemExtractor transformer on the data, the result in the attribute ‘_coordsys’ should be TM1965/b.IrishGrid.
This coordinate system is set on all the features read in from Civil 3D, and will be written out with those features to any other format that supports coordinate systems.

Hi, this is not only about the coordinate system but all info such as Units.

The coordinate system also contains unit information. You can use the attached custom transformer to extract the coordinate system parameters from the data. Send a copy of the source data to it, and it will output a single feature with the coordinate system parameters as attributes.
