Good morning,

I am trying to georeference a few CAD files by using FME. I have a script that can be used in AutoCAD to achieve this (), but I would rather have everything completed within FME. It is working for some but not all, I'm not sure what I am missing. Any assistance would be great!

Thank you!

I figured out why not all are referencing correctly. Within CAD I had to change the View from SHEET to WORLD. Is there a way to do that in FME?

the transformations are in the txt file.

Just parse it and use the attributes to set up relevant transformers in fme.

There is a scale, move, rotate and another scaler.

Thanks @gio

 

I was able to georeference the CAD file. The original problem was that not all CAD files were referencing in correctly. However after some investigating, I figured out that this was being caused by the view in AutoCAD being set to something other than WORLD. I am wondering if there is a way to set CAD files to WORLD in FME, instead of SHEET, as it was set to that before hand.

 

 

Thanks,

 

David
