When opening and trying to view qleader arrow types in FME from an AutoCAD file, the qleaders appears just as 2 straight lines, where as it should appear as a spline. Multileaders appear to work fine.

 

The autocad_path_type is autocad_spline_leader

 

See the attached dwg for an example. The 2 large straight lines on the right appear as proper spline leaders in AutoCAD.

 

Is there any workaround to transformer these into the proper splines? I can't even see attributes carried through to be able to do this manually.

 

Thanks in advance,

Luke

 

 

Hi @luke.giles​ , Check out the FME doc on autocad splines: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/acad/Splines.htm

 

I think this should apply. The thing I think is that FME (or at least the reader) doesn't support proper splines.

Thanks @virtualcitymatt​ 

 

The issue though is those QLeader arrows aren't getting any spline info attached to them, to artificially make the spline even. YOu can see in the example the multileader arrows do get the attributes across from AutoCAD.

You are so right - looks like a bug maybe. You should send this to Safe Software support. I tested with both ACAD and REALDWG readers with the same result.
