We often need to use FME to process DWG 3D model files that are created using AutoCAD vertical products such as AutoCAD Civil3D, AEC, MEP or add-on products such as Bentley AutoPlant, Intergraph/Hexagon CADworx. Each of these products use AutoCAD Object Enablers (OEs) to create graphic objects. For FME to read the model geometry, someone must first save the model to a separate DWG file with proxy graphics. This means an extra step, more file management, and typically results in very large files. It would be great for FME to support the freely available OEs so those steps wouldn't be needed.

We are working on a process by which to utilize the 3d model in our cadworx base drawing. we need to convert the units to decimal, scale by 1/12 (.083333) and assign a state plane coordinate zone.

we are having trouble with scaling in CadWorx/autocad. Looking for a way to get a hold of the native objects.
