Hello All,

 

 

I couldn’t figure out how to transform a 3D polyline to a normal polyline in AutoCAD using FME, I have tried the 2d forcer but this command only removes the Z value  without changing the type of line in AutoCAD, please have a look at the following screenshots.

 

 

The input Autocad file

 

 

 

the Output "Result file"

 

 

 

I need the result file to be like the following screen shot is it possible to do in FME ?

 

 

Many thanks,

 

Ahmad

Set the value of "autocad_original_entity_type" attribute to "autocad_lwpolyline"
