Dynamic Blocks in an AutoCAD file may contain parameters which can be modified to alter the behavior or appearance of an instance of the dynamic block.
Reading Dynamic Block Attributes
When the Read Dynamic Block Attributes option is enabled, the AutoCAD reader will attempt to read these attributes back, and represent them as normal attributes, or as a list attribute.
Note: These attributes will only be read if the Explode Blocks into Entities option is not selected.
When the Read Dynamic Block Attributes As List option is enabled, the dynamic attributes will be returned in a list attribute. Each attribute will have a name and value, which represents the dynamic block parameter name and value respectively. This option is enabled by default.
For example, if the dynamic block has a parameter called Distance with a value of 52. This will be represented in FME as:
autocad_dynattr_list{0}.name = Distance
autocad_dynattr_list{0}.value = 52
