Question
Autocad - Zoom to Data Extent when opening DWG
Hi all I am using FME to convert a ESRI File GDB containing building polygons to AutoCAD DWG. Really simple styling and the resulting file looks fine except for one thing - when opening the DWG it opens at THE SAME location as the template file. The template file is overidding the new data. This is not great if I have data in say Manchester and the template file is in London. This is a process I need to batch repeat for multiple locations are the UK - but the resulting DWG will always startup in the London location despite there being no data there. I have not had this problem before with a similar task. (1) Is there a format setting I can utilise to tell the DWG to zoom to data extent on startup? (2) The only styling information I am taking from the Template file is "Visual style - Realistic with no isolines" (creating 3D Polygons) is it possible to set this in FME without the need for a template file. This is a really simple issue that I can't seem to fix and I'm pulling my hair out!!! Has there maybe been a change in the latest version of autocad? (2015?) I have tried saving the template file as version 2010 but this then causes the DWG to open extreemly far from anywhere. Any Help much appreciated!!!! Mike
