How is FME used to convert DWG to gdb?
Transform AutoCAD data for storage in File Geodatabase using the data conversion capabilities of FME. FME allows you to remodel the dataset while preserving annotation and symbology during the DWG to GDB translation so the integrity of the design is kept intact. FME lets you integrate many applications and file formats.
Do you need to convert file geodatabase to surface geometries?
As far as I know, File Geodatabase does support surface-type geometries. So there shouldn’t be a need to convert the geometry type so radically, just to get the data in there (of course, if you need the data in a different geometry to carry out a different action on it, that’s fine).
How to export geodatabase feature classes to CAD?
After performing the above steps as needed, open the Export to CAD tool, selecting the point, polyline, polygon and annotation feature classes as needed for input in the tool. Select the output location and enter an appropriate name for the output CAD file. Click OK. The .dwg or .dxf file extensions must be included in the output file name.
How to convert DWG surface to line feature?
Then take the output from maybe the Contours output port, or the VertexPoints (and then join them together with a LineBuilder transformer). Those methods would give you irregular lines. The other solution is to take the DEMRaster output and use a RasterCellCoercer to turn that into points.
How to use file geodatabase data in AutoCAD?
Use File Geodatabase Data in AutoCAD. Transform data from File Geodatabase for use in AutoCAD with the data conversion capabilities of FME. FME allows you to restructure and map the contents of the dataset during GDB to DWG translation so it displays properly in AutoCAD. Common Conversions. FME lets you integrate many applications and file formats.
