Hi Sophie,

 

 

it is possible to translate dimensions from CAD to GDB. In generall you need to copy the CAD dimension attributes into the corresponding geodb_dimension attributes. In he readers and writers help you can find these:

 

 

FME Readers and Writers (formats supported by FME 2013 SP2) > Esri Geodatabase Reader/Writer > Feature Representation >Dimensions

 

 

Moreover here is a FMEPedia article that deals with the topic, too.
