It has been a while since we have DWG Autocad Civil3D Reader that can pick up Property Sets created in Autodesk native software as FME attributes. However, it has been quite a few cases where DWG deliverables or even templates need to be custom built to meet project requirements.

Having access to both FME and Autodesk ecosystems it is kinda possible to bridge the gap (real hassle) to achieve the above-mentioned task, however it would be awesome if this would be possible only in FME.

Suggestion:

  • Convert attributes established in FME to DWG Property Set schema which could be easily manipulated in workspace.
  • Property Sets include common data types, which could also be included in attribute/schema definition, where list manipulation with basic database operations would be heaven.

Hi ​@vadis,

I think writing Property Sets would need to wait for a Civil 3D writer in FME. However, there may be a less convenient alternative using FME and Dynamo within Civil 3D.
