Hi. 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.

it works nicely in the 2022.0 Beta. any idea when this version will be production ready?

@rudewi, Glad to hear it's working for you! The FME 2022.0 release is currently aimed for early March.
+2Hi,
I'm trying to access the property sets within the Extended data from dwg file, the property sets are attached to block reference objects, quite similar to the case of this post.
Attached below are two snapshots from how the property sets look like in Autocad and FME workbench featuring the two attributes that I was trying to expose with no success
can someone guide me through the detailed workflow, please? I'm using FME workbench 2024.2
Thanks,
