Hi,

 

 

     I am currently trying to convert ArcSDE dimensions to Autocad format, but the sample script provided via the FMEpedia knowledgebase does not seem to work with Windows7/FMEDesktop2014 SP1 32bit (no autocad installed on the machine, just ArcMap/Viewer).  I keep getting an error:

 

 

"in function AutoCAD2004Writer::setExtents. Exception thrown: 'Invalid input'"

 

 

This happens when I run the sample script from the site here.  I tried creating my own script and everything works until I change the autocad_entity to autocad_dimension, then it breaks again.  I am thinking that there is some specific autocad format attributes that need to change that I am not changing or the sample script is not changing.  Is anyone else able to create dimensions in autocad with FME2014 sp1?

 

 

Sample script here:
