Multi-Line

autocad_entity: autocad_multi_line

Multi-line features are linear features that represent a set of parallel lines. They are not capable of representing an arbitrary set of lines such as can be done with GIS systems. When reading a multi-line feature, the FME will output an aggregate of lines thereby hiding all AutoCAD format peculiarities.

The following attributes are set related to representing the multi-lines.

Attribute Name

Content

autocad_scale

The scale of the multi-line.

Range: 64-bit floating point number > 0.t

autocad_justification

The justification of the multi-line object is set to one of:

Range: autocad_top | autocad_middle | autocad_bottom

autocad_num_verts

The number of vertices in one of the parallel multi-lines. All of the multi-lines have this number of coordinates. The feature thereby has autocad_num_verts * autocad_num_lines:

Range: Number of vertices in one line.

autocad_num_lines

The number of lines in the multi-line set.

Range: Number of lines.

autocad_mline_type

The type of multi-line object.

Range: autocad_open | autocad_closed

autocad_base_x

The x coordinate of the base point of the multi-line entity.

Range: 64-bit floating point number

autocad_base_y

The y coordinate of the base point of the multi-line entity.

Range: 64-bit floating point number

autocad_base_z

The z coordinate of the base point of the multi-line entity.

Range: 64-bit floating point number

autocad_mline_style

The name of the multi-line style used with a multi-line entity. When writing, this name must match a multi-line style definition in the template file used.

Range: 64-bit floating point number

Default: STANDARD
