Converting new format to DWG

Hi @danilo_fme,

 

Unfortunately the file type and contents are proprietary. With the many examples of FME readers and writers I’m hoping there is one or more that will show the mechanics of how to read geometry object definitions from an organized text file, and then use the data to construct DWG geometry. For example the input file may look something like this:

GroupName = GroupNameString (to create an AutoCAD Layer or use it if it already exists)

NewObjectName = ObjectNameString (to create an AutoCAD Block of the following objects)

NumberOfGeomItemsToFollow = 2

GeomItemNumber = 1

GeometryType = GeomType (for example, Cone, elliptical cone, cylinder, elliptical cylinder, revolve, sphere, and partial or complete torus 3D solids. These will also be surface boundary types)

Parameters = param1, param2, Param3, etc. (as appropriate for the GeomType)

GeomItemNumber = 2

GeometryType = GeomType

Parameters = param1, param2, Param3, etc.

GroupName = GroupNameString

NewObjectName = ObjectNameString (a new Block name)

NumberOfGeomItemsToFollow = 3 etc.

I realize mapping of the various parameters will need to be done between the source and the DWG geometry. But I can accommodate that in the source text file once we know better how to read the data and apply it to AutoCAD geometry in a workbench. I really appreciate any guidance you or others can provide for this.

Thank you,

Amy
