I have been provided with a set of dwgs which have autocad text in it and rotation values expressed in degrees e.g. '96d'. I need to read the value as '96', how do I do this? This is the first time I've seen the rotation units expressed this way. When I translate the dwgs the rotation values do not translate into text or numbers. I'm converting the CAD files into Esri fgdb feature classes and have AutoCAD 2019.
+18You can use the StringReplacer transformer to get rid of the "d" by using a RegEx replacing d$ by nothing.
Then you will end up with the numeric value.
Hope that helps.
+25Hi @wunderkind, this is just representational in autocad, depending on the working units in the dwg-file.
When you read the rotation attribute (autocad_rotation) in FME this will be a real number, not text. At least, this is what i see on my dwg's.
