Auto cad attributes to write to create a dwg for a raster

I am trying to automate a process that I currently accomplish using Autocad Map 3D, manually. That is to say create a dwg that referenced a raster and when added to Autocad will pull in the raster in the correct location. At the moment I insert a raster into Map 3D , zoom to extents and save as a dwg. This produces a dwg with the same name as the raster. I have not been able to find out what is in the dwg, so I don’t know how to do this in FME.

I am presuming there would be a reference to the raster, it’s extents, scale …

Does someone know what FME. Autocad attributes I would need to write ?

 

I am also assuming there would be no geometry in the dwg, but again I don’t know.

 

thanks for any assistance,

Ian

You can READ a raster with FME, make sure its at the correct location and Coordinatesystem and then just add a DWG-writer. That should work. Creating a DWG-file and an attached *.png file withouth any other attributes needed. Works ok in my case. Do you have any example data?@ian2016​
