DWG format attributes for hatch colors

I want to set hatch layer fill colors which are defined by  number values in the attribute “extended_data{1}.32Bit_integer{0}” (this option is not in the DWG styler), and I would like to edit the values of the data_list and extended_data attributes for a large number of map material that I am going to import.

 

 

Most of these DWG-attributes from CAD are removed during transformation. Is there a way to add, keep and set these attributes in FME? Directly adding them as user attributes did not get recognized in the writer.

 

The single “autocad_extended_data_list{}” is present as a format attribute but nothing else.

Hi,

 

 

All the attributes are available on the dwg reader.

 

U need to expose them on the "format attributes" tab on the reader ( a large list)

 

U can also use an attributeexposer, this is particularily hadny if u are well known with the autocad format and can type in what u need by heart.

 

 

Very usefull in this respect is FME readers and writers bible "autocad" section.
