Hi!

I'm looking for the attributes that contain autocad model units and block units.

I looked on the attribute to expose but I don't find the answer. I test some attributes but there are only empty on the attributecreator. I checked the attributes on the reader, I use AttributeExposer and AttributeCreator. I don't understand...

 

Thanks!

Hi @alc33,

Under your reader parameters, have you checked yes to "Read Drawing System Variables" under the Advanced section?

 

By enabling this parameter, a feature is created that lists some of the those variables and their values as attributes. You can see a list of attributes that are created on that feature here: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/acad/Drawing-System-Variables.htm

I think one of the attributes that you are looking for would be autocad_insunits.

To access the attribute that you want be sure to expose it in the reader under the format attributes or with using an AttributeExposer.
