Hello, I was just wondering if anyone has successfully used the AutoCAD Dimension attributes to validate angles?

I have a example drawing below where the angle of the lines is added as text in AutoCAD using the DIMANGULAR function in AutoCAD.

 

When FME reads in the features, using ‘Explode Dimensions’ set to No, I get a series of attributes against the text point with the coordinates of lines used to determine the angle in AutoCAD.

 

What I have found is that defpt2 to deft4 aren’t always in the order to create lines and test the angle between them and was wondering if anyone else has had success in validating angles from a DWG?

Sometimes it is good to post just to get the brain going :)

From the doco, I was able to use the correct attributes to create the two line segments and test the angle :)

 

Still happy to know if people have other solutions.

 

Cheers

 

Dean
