Problems with Reading AutoCAD Extended Data - GIS Conversion

Hello,

 

 

I am trying to convert a DWG to GIS feature class (gdb) or Shapefile. I've done this previously with no issue.

However, I am trying to bring through some of the extended data (In the DWG) into the attributes of the GIS output, but I cannot seem to get FME to read the extended data.

I have "Read Interpreted Extended Entity Data" and "Read Extended Entity Data As List" parameters ticked, but the extended data under "format attributes" reads no values when selected and inspected.

If someone could point me the right direction i'd fully appreciate it, or let me know if this is even possible or not?

 

 

Many thanks in advance.

When you talk about AutoCAD Data, there many types (AutoCAD Entities, Block Attributes, Extended Entity Data, Object Data, Property DataSet and MSC format).

When reading, are exposing the autocad_extended_data_list{}
