Question

DXF Tagsets to DGN Tagsets


Badge
I received dxf coming from Eplan Electrical schema's.

 

Opening the dxf in Microstation shows that Tagsets are available but not working correctly. The batch Conversion tool in Microstation works correct but it is tedious.

 

 

With FME level, line, color, text etc mapping are easy, but I can't get the tagsets to behave correctly. The Tags are all in one Tagset instead of linked to their specific Cell.

 

 

Ideas/exemples anyone?

Hi,

 

 

Kindly have a look with data Inspector once. If not kindly enable "autocad_attr_def_tag" in format attributes.

 

 

If still you are not able to get, kindly provide one example in the attached dxf file, I will have a look...

Hi, Tank you for your response.

 

 

I have some problems on this site with uploading data.

 

I thought it was uploaded but is see today that it's gone.

 

 

So, I read the link before I started, but I do dxf to dgn conversion.

 

The autocad_attr_def_tag was enabled.

 

 

Included is a dxf test file with entity data attached to blocks.

 

Thanks for looking in to it :-)

Hi,

 

 

I have seen the data before as well but I'm not aware of names of tags you are looking for... In inspector I was able to see more attribute than normal. I think those are tags you are searching for... Connect the data to data inspector and view the attributes...

 

 

If possible do post one example with screenshot from microstation.

Hi,

 

 

Yes, I'm able to see these tags in FME viewer/inspector. I have added the data with Autodesk AutoCAD DWG/DXF reader and attached screenshot of result.

 

 

Which reader you are using to read the file?

Hi,

 

 

I have asked "reader" not the "version" :)

 

 

I have used "Autodesk AutoCAD DWG/DXF" reader and I'm able to see the tags in inspector.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

 

 

I tried to convert tags to V8 dgn with "Autodesk AutoCAD DWG/DXF" and "Autodesk AutoCAD REALDWG/DXF" both show the tagsets in the inspector that's true. It's the writing technique that's troubling me.
