Writing DWF Attributes

Hi @davidrasner5,

Thanks for your question! What format are you reading from? I noticed some Q&As to do with reading similar attributes from Revit files or autocad. In addition, it doesn't seem like we have the ability yet to read Object Properties according to this Q&A response from Andrea so I'm surprised that you seem to have been able to. Would it be possible to share a sample file of your data that includes these attributes? And can you tell me anything more about them? I can take a look and see if I can find a workaround or if it might be a good opportunity to post an Idea.

Hello, sorry for the late reply. I was on holidays. :)

I would still be very interested in what's possible here.rac_basic_sample_project.dwf

But it seems I made a bad explanation, I'm reading attributes from DWG files (blocks), 2d shape files, etc. and try to convert them to DWF files.

We work with the Forge API from Autodesk to display plans and 3d models on the web, the dwf is prefered because it looks better and can store all kinds of information, with data types, neatly organized in property sets.

I added a sample DWF from the Revit Sample Model as a DWF in the attachment, this is kind of what we are after.

It would be a small revolution for us if I could do this in FME. :O

Hi @davidrasner5,

Sorry for the delay in response. Is the dwf that you shared an example of what you are aiming for or what you are currently getting outputted? I'm afraid I'm not seeing the object data as our DWF reader doesn't yet support reading Object Data (FMEENGINE-9609), and generally if we are not able to read it, it's likely that we are not able to write it either. Would you have a source input file (one of the DWGs or shapefiles perhaps) that I could try to play around with and see if we are able to write it?

I believe this functionality might not be available yet. I've created an idea here if you'd be interested in upvoting it and sharing your use case to inform development of your interest. I've also linked your question in our internal PR.
