Hi,

 

 

I can't seem to read layer descriptions from DWG files. I have tried different versions of FME, different reader settings and different DWG types with the same result.

 

It does seem to read a few of the layer descriptions but I have no idea why it would differentiate them as they seem identical when I open the files in AutoCAD.

 

 

Has anyone had the same issue?

 

 

Thanks!

Hi @gio and @danilo_fme,

 

 

Thank you both for replying!

 

 

I happened to find an explanation for what I'm experiencing on the Autodesk forum. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-forum/layer-manager-shows-layer-name-as-description-when-description/td-p/7289011

 

 

The descriptions were never there in the first place and FME remains flawless (almost;).
