This parameter specifies the pen color that will be used to render the feature. The pen color determines the color of lines and area boundaries.

To edit this parameter, click the browse button to the right of the text field.

Format attribute set: fme_color

Note: When this parameter is specified, the autocad_color attribute is removed from the feature and fme_color is set. This is because autocad_color will override fme_color if they are both present.

This optional parameter is used to specify the name of an existing DWG or DXF file that will be used by the transformer as a source for block names, linetypes, and text shape names. It is not used by the actual DWG/DXF writer – the template file must be specified in the writer’s parameters and should contain the same block names and linetypes as the file specified here. Usually the same file will be used in both the transformer and the writer.

If no blocks or linetypes will be used, this parameter can be left blank.

Block Name specifies the block that will be placed at the point location. Click the browse button to pick the name from the set of blocks defined in the DWG/DXF template file.

Format attribute set: autocad_block_name

Block Rotation specifies rotation of the block (in degrees counterclockwise from horizontal). This can be set to any floating point value between -360.0 to 360.0, or taken from an attribute.

Format attribute set: autocad_rotation

Block Size By indicates how the size of the block will be specified. If ground units are chosen, then the block will be scaled so that its range in x, y, and z covers the specified amounts. If scale factor is chosen, then the amounts in x, y, and z specify the scaling which will be applied to the block in each of the three axes.

X specifies the sizing amount for the x axis, which can be a floating point value or taken from an attribute. Its meaning is dependent on the Block Size By setting described above.

Format attribute set: autocad_x_scale (if Block Size By is Scale Factor); autocad_size_x (if Block Size By is Ground Units)

Y specifies the sizing amount for the y axis, which can be a floating point value or taken from an attribute. Its meaning is dependent on the Block Size By setting described above.

Format attribute set: autocad_y_scale (if Block Size By is Scale Factor); autocad_size_y (if Block Size By is Ground Units)

Z specifies the sizing amount for the z axis, which can be a floating point value or taken from an attribute. Its meaning is dependent on the Block Size By setting described above.

Format attribute set: autocad_z_scale (if Block Size By is Scale Factor); autocad_size_z (if Block Size By is Ground Units)

Linetype specifies the AutoCAD linetype that will be used to render the line. Click the browse button to pick the name from the set of blocks defined in the DWG/DXF template file.

Format attribute set: autocad_linetype

Linetype Generation specifies how linetypes will be rendered at each vertex of the line. If set to Continuous, line vertices are ignored since the pattern is applied to the line when it is rendered. If set to Restart At Each Vertex, the pattern is restarted at each vertex of the line.

Format attribute set: autocad_linetype_generation

Line Weight specifies the thickness of the line when it is rendered, measured in hundredths of a millimeter.

Format attribute set: autocad_lineweight

Line Scale specifies the amount that the line pattern will be scaled when the line is rendered.

Format attribute set: autocad_linetype_scale

Line Elevation sets a single elevation value that will be applied to all the vertices of the line. This is an efficient way to set a constant elevation (z) to an otherwise two-dimensional line.

Format attribute set: autocad_elevation

Area Entity Type specifies the kind of entity and fill pattern that will be created to represent the feature when it is written to AutoCAD DWG/DXF. The choices with the corresponding AutoCAD entity type are:

Fill Pattern Name sets the name of the fill pattern that will be used to fill either the hatch or mpolygon. Click the browse button to pick the name from the set of fill patterns that ship with AutoCAD.

Format attributes set: autocad_hatch_pattern_name (if Area Entity Type is set to Hatch With Fill Pattern); autocad_mpolygon_pattern_name (if Area Entity Type is set to Mpolygon With Fill Pattern)

Pattern Scale specifies the amount that the fill pattern will be scaled when the area is rendered.

Format attributes set: autocad_hatch_pattern_scale (if Area Entity Type is set to Hatch With Fill Pattern); autocad_mpolygon_pattern_scale (if Area Entity Type is set to Mpolygon With Fill Pattern)

Gradient Name sets the type of the gradient pattern (predefined as part of AutoCAD) that will be used to fill either the hatch or mpolygon.

Format attribute set: autocad_hatch_gradient_name (if Area Entity Type is set to Hatch With Gradient Pattern); autocad_mpolygon_gradient_name (if Area Entity Type is set to Mpolygon With Gradient Pattern)

Gradient Fill Color 1 sets the first color to be used in the gradient pattern that will be used to fill either the hatch or mpolygon.

Format attributes set: autocad_hatch_gradient_color1 (if Area Entity Type is set to Hatch With Gradient Pattern); autocad_mpolygon_gradient_color1 (if Area Entity Type is set to Mpolygon With Gradient Pattern)

Gradient Fill Color 2 sets the first color to be used in the gradient pattern that will be used to fill either the hatch or mpolygon.

Format attributes set: autocad_hatch_gradient_color2 (if Area Entity Type is set to Hatch With Gradient Pattern); autocad_mpolygon_gradient_color2 (if Area Entity Type is set to Mpolygon With Gradient Pattern)

Fill Angle sets the angle of the gradient pattern that will be used to fill either the hatch or mpolygon.

Format attributes set: autocad_hatch_gradient_angle (if Area Entity Type is set to Hatch With Gradient Pattern); autocad_mpolygon_gradient_angle (if Area Entity Type is set to Mpolygon With Gradient Pattern)

Fill Origin X sets the x coordinate of the origin for the gradient pattern that will be used to fill either the hatch or mpolygon.

Format attributes set: autocad_hatch_gradient_origin_point_x (if Area Entity Type is set to Hatch With Gradient Pattern); autocad_mpolygon_gradient_origin_point_x (if Area Entity Type is set to Mpolygon With Gradient Pattern)

Fill Origin Y sets the y coordinate of the origin for the gradient pattern that will be used to fill either the hatch or mpolygon.

Format attributes set: autocad_hatch_gradient_origin_point_y (if Area Entity Type is set to Hatch With Gradient Pattern); autocad_mpolygon_gradient_origin_point_y (if Area Entity Type is set to Mpolygon With Gradient Pattern)

Text Entity Type specifies the kind of entity that will be created to represent the feature when it is written to AutoCAD DWG/DXF. The choices with the corresponding AutoCAD entity type are:

Format attribute set: autocad_entity

TrueType Font Name sets the name of the font that will be used to draw the text while Multi-Text is chosen for the entity type. Click the browse button to pick the font name.

Format attribute set: autocad_mtext_string

Text Shape Name sets the name of the shape that will be used to draw the text while Text is chosen for the entity type. Click the browse button to pick the shape name from those defined in the DWG/DXF Template File.

Format attribute set: autocad_shape_name

Text Justification sets the justification for text placement.

Format attribute set: autocad_justification

Sets the size of the text that is placed.
