  • When converting DWG to shapefile - ALL the metadata of the DWG - IS MISSING in the result

While converting a DWG file into shapefile, using FME's workspace transformations, all the metadata of the DWG is lost.

 

Inside the DWG , for each feature, there are a lot of metadata for example –

Layer

Handle

Color

Text

Etc.

 

It is expected that this information will be persevered and will be available inside the SHP file as attributes.

 

Right now, as default, the attribute table of the SHP file is empty.

 

It's a "stopshow" for us...

Help will be greatly appreciated,

 

Michael

Hi @mlev​ ,

 

have a look at the format attributes in the DWG Reader. These attributes must be exposed (there is a checkbox for each of them) as normal attributes to be used inside the workspace and in the writers.

 

Hope that helps!

Hi @davtorgh​ 

Problem solved thank to you!

Michael
