Is there a method to import CAD graphic elements, line, Arcs, etc. with the geometric attributes readable by Arc map such as Radius of arcs, bearings of lines. When I import CAD graphics, I get polylines, but they do not really have readable geometry like Line Length, Arc Radius, Line Bearing etc. I would like to import CAD graphics like road centerline geometry and have the geometric data in a Table like format, similar to the old COGO formats.

Hi
The Arc Radius will be displayed in the Record (or Feature) information window on the left side of the canvas.
To see the line length, you can use a LengthCalculator transformer.
To find the line bearing, you can use the HorizontalAngleCalculator, which will tell you the azimuth. If you want to find the bearing, use an AttributeCreator to create a new bearing attribute and you can set it up similar to this.
You can use an AttributeRounder before the AttributeCreator to round the _azimuth attribute.
