How to get georeference for objects placed on Autocad paper space? Any parameter or format attributes?

This is possible, although it is a little complicated and requires using FME 2016 beta. There are now viewport features in the paper space, which have a polygon geometry and attributes for the model space extents they cover.

- Use a PointOnAreaOverlayer or LineOnAreaOverlayer to transfer the viewport attributes to the paper space features within them, grouping by autocad_space.

- Use an Offsetter to offset the features by the negative of autocad_viewport_center_point_x and autocad_viewport_center_point_y.

- Use a Scaler to scale the features by the inverse of autocad_viewport_custom_scale.

- Use another Offsetter to offset the features by autocad_viewport_view_center_x and autocad_viewport_view_center_y

This process will work for simple top down viewports with no perspective.

Thanks a lot. It works in FME2016beta.

For full success for my data I've used additionaly Rotator (360-@Value(autocad_viewport_twist_angle)) before first offsetter and Offsetrer(autocad_viewport_resolved_target_x and y)) instead of autocad_viewport_view_center_ parameters

Hello @daveatsafe this is exactly what I am trying to do so was wondering if you have any examples you could provide to show how the above is done.

Hello @arekpierchala, I know it was a while ago but just wondering if you might be able to share the workspace fundamentals on how you achieved the above as I am trying to do the same.

Here is what I did based on the instructions from @daveatsafe above. Thanks :)

Or use the chspace command in autocad
