Greetings earthlings & FME users! I have a Civil 3d CAD file with an attached object data table. The dwg contains only closed polylines and I have a single ODT defined with 30 fields which include text, integer and double, date and guid data types. Everything is attached & visible in Civil 3d and data has been entered into the ODT. When I use the 'Autodesk AutoCAD Map 3D Object Data' reader, I get loads of ERROR -BADNEWS feedback that shows that the reader seemingly misreads half my fields mistaking values for column definitions and end up with a mess.... I don't understand why this is happening or what I can do about it. I created a dummy file with one closed polyline and attached the ODT but still run into the same problems. I have tried using 2015.1 32-bit and 2015.0 64-bit but have the same issues.

@wunderkind definitely sounds like we need to see this file in development at Safe. Can you visit https://support.safe.com/knowledgeSubmitCase and send in the file (or a sample like it) and we'll dig in. Sorry about the inconvenience.

It probably is something we need to look at - but I'd just mention to turn off the log debugging option (Tools > FME Options) in case you have it turned on. It can output BADNEWS messages even under normal circumstances.
