Reader Directives
The AutoCAD Map 3D Object Data Reader can also use all AutoCAD RealDWG Reader directives.
In addition to the AutoCAD RealDWG reader directives, the AutoCAD Map 3D Object Data Reader introduces some new directives that are not used by the AutoCAD RealDWG Reader.
All directives must be prefixed by the current <ReaderKeyword>_.
DATASET
The dataset from which feature data is to be read.
Required/Optional
Required
Workbench Parameter
Source AutoDesk AutoCAD RealDWG File(s)
OD_READING_MODE
Required/Optional
Optional
Values
od_mode_entity (default) | od_mode_raw | od_mode_classic
Workbench Parameter
Group by Entity | Raw Relational | Group by Object Data
QUALIFY_OD_RECORDS_WITH_TABLE_NAME
Required/Optional
Optional
Values
yes | no (default)
Workbench Parameter
Prepend Table Name
OD_TABLE_NAME_SEPARATOR
Required/Optional
Optional
Values
any character (default value: _)
Workbench Parameter
Separator Character
SEARCH_ENVELOPE
Using the minimum and maximum x and y parameters, define a bounding box that will be used to filter the input features. Only features that interact with the bounding box are returned.
If all four coordinates of the search envelope are specified as 0, the search envelope will be disabled.
Mapping File Syntax
<ReaderKeyword>_SEARCH_ENVELOPE <minX> <minY> <maxX> <maxY>
Note: If all four coordinates of the search envelope are specified as zero, the search envelope will be disabled.
Required/Optional
Optional
Workbench Parameter
Minimum X, Minimum Y, Maximum X, Maximum Y
SEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM
This directive specifies the coordinate system of the search envelope if it is different than the coordinate system of the data.
The COORDINATE_SYSTEM
directive, which specifies the coordinate system associated with the data to be read, must always be set if the SEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM
directive is set.
If this directive is set, the minimum and maximum points of the search envelope are reprojected from the SEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM
to the reader COORDINATE_SYSTEM
prior to applying the envelope.
Required/Optional
Optional
Mapping File Syntax
<ReaderKeyword>_SEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM <coordinate system>
Workbench Parameter
Search Envelope Coordinate System
CLIP_TO_ENVELOPE
This directive specifies whether or not FME should clip features to the envelope specified in the SEARCH_ENVELOPE
directive.
Values
YES | NO (default)
Mapping File Syntax
<ReaderKeyword>_CLIP_TO_ENVELOPE [yes | no]
Workbench Parameter
Clip To Envelope
EXPOSED_ATTRS
This directive allows the selection of format attributes to be explicitly added to the reader feature type.
This is similar to exposing format attributes on a reader feature type once it has been generated; however, it is even more powerful because it enables schema-driven applications other than Workbench to access and leverage these attributes as if they were explicitly on the schema as user attributes.
The result of picking a list of attributes is a comma-separated list of attribute names and types that will be added to the schema features. Currently all reader feature types will receive the same set of additional schema attributes for a given instance of the reader.
Required/Optional
Optional
Mapping File Syntax
Not applicable.
While it is possible for FME Objects applications to invoke this directive, the required format is not documented.
This directive is intended for use in our GUI applications (for example, Workbench) only.
Workbench Parameter
Additional Attributes to Expose
