Hi,

 

Is there a way to run AutoCAD scripts in FME without calling or using AutoCAD licence?

 

I need to Copy or Rename Layout of my template file.

I would try to see if I could replicate the functionality in FME instead if there are only minor things you want to change on the template file. I have asked here: https://community.safe.com/s/article/working-with-autocad-layouts - for an update if this is possible now.

A workaround I have used is to read the DWG template, write it to DXF (which is an open format) read the DXF as text, edit the textfile with FME, write it back to text, read the DXF, write it to DWG.

It is quite a bit of a hassle, but it can work if you really need it.

Using FeatureReaders / FeatureWriters you can do this in one workbench.

Wow, that workaround sounds really nice. Thank you
