I'm new to FME 2005, and I'm attemping to convert DGNs to DWGs. By
using the standard IGDS to ACAD conversion, the linestyles, levels and
colours are translated nicely. However, I'm having problems with
translating DGN cells to DWG blocks.
I'm attempting to convert the cells into blocks with block attributes.
I'm using this type of mapping from igds_cell to autocad_insert:
#
============================================================================
# First, deal with design file cells. We could turn these into blocks,
# but we don't know for certain if the block would be defined.
# In fact, it probably woudn't be. So we'll be safe, and just turn
# them into points
IGDS "*" \
igds_type igds_cell \
igds_cell_name %igds_cell_name \
igds_rotation %igds_rotation \
igds_rotation %igds_rotation \
fme_color %fme_color \
@FeatureType(%igds_level)
ACAD * \
autocad_entity autocad_insert \
autocad_attribute_display visible \
autocad_attributes_follow true \
autocad_block_name %igds_cell_name \
autocad_rotation %igds_rotation \
cell_name %igds_cell_name \
rotation %igds_rotation \
$(SET_COLOR_AND_FEATURE_TYPE
However, I'm having problems bringing in the text fields in the cell
into a block attribute in ACAD. Does anyone know how to do this?
Additionally, is it possible for FME to automatically create block
definitions based on a DGN? Currently, I need to create a DWG
template file maually using ACAD. Is there any way that FME can
create the block definitions into a new DWG?
Thanks,
Thomas
