Hi,
I am doing DWG to DWG translation filtering only points using geometry filter, If i am not exploding blocks into entities, points are not visible in written DWG file, But if i am exploding it i am able to see points in CAD along with polygons and text.
Thanks in advance.
Please find attached Workbench and sample data, I am able to see the points flowing in workbench but unable to see in data inspector.
Hi,
Do you want blocks as point?
About the process:
1) I created a Generate Workspace and set the parameters : Reader and Writer -
Workflow Options: Dynamic Schema
Attached the Workspace Template.
Thanks, workspace-dwg.fmwt

Please suggest me appropriate solution.
Hi,

If you need full block as point feature then untick the below mentioned parameters
1. Use Block Feature Type for Components
2. Explode Blocks into Entities

Hi @pratap,
Thanks for your resolution but I have tried the same and did not work for me, I have attached reference Sample data and workbench. Please check if i am missing something.
Hi @dheeraj, Since you want to represent the blocks from the source dwg as points on the output, for the writer to accept the point output without a template, we'll have to remove the format attributes that indicate to the writer that the features are blocks. I agree with @danilo_inovacao, the option to Explode Blocks into Entities should be unchecked, this will read each block as its insertion point. And if you expose the following format attribute on the reader, and remove them in the workflow (AttributeRemover should work), the writer should be able to write the points as expected: autocad_entity, autocad_original_entity, autocad_original_entity_type, autocad_block_name, autocad_block_number.
Please give this a try, and see if it gives you the result you were hoping for. Thanks!

I have not exposed any of these attributes, You can check in the attached workbench.
Thanks in advance.
