pset_screenshotHi. I'm reading dwg files with the civil 3D reader. I need to use the attributes in the propertysets. this works perfectly with exposing 'autocad_xrecord_datalist' in the reader for all geometry types, but not for the blocks. the property set attributes from the block don't seem to be present on the 'autocad_insert'.

I tried exposing fme_attrib_info but they are also not there. any ideas? or is this just not possible on blocks ?

i added a screenshot of the pset in the dwg

Hi @rudewi​,

Great question! Support for reading property sets on DWG blocks was recently added and currently available on our FME 2022.0 beta that you can find in our downloads here: https://www.safe.com/support/downloads/#beta

 

Property sets should show up in fme_attrib_info{}.field_name and fme_attrib_info{}.field_value in the Feature Information Window when inspected that you can then expose in the AttributeExposer to work with.
