    Default Object data from entity to FDO Feature data property

    Is it possible to extract object data values from a drawing entity and put it into a FDO data property of a feature during the creation of a new feature?

    I have a bunch of project boundaries with the project number stored as object data. I want to create new FDO Features for the boundaries and put the project number in the project_ID property in the feature.

    Any help or suggest are welcome.

    Newbie to FDO

    Thanks

    Vito

    You can export to SDF and have the OD convert to the feature attributtes. With mapexport to SDF you can append to an exising SDF file and map the OD fields (plus more) to the features fields.

    Thanks. I did exactly that. I exported to shp and did a bulk copy into FDO. Worked beautifully.

    moving forward, if I create a New Feature from Geometry and the drawing entity has OD attached, is there a way to bring that into the new feature without exporting the object to SDF or SHP, maybe programmatically. Just trying to make this as user friendly as possible for folks who don't use CAD everyday.

    Thanks

    When you Create New Feature From Geometry you have to enter all the information manually as of now. The export and append to existing is the only way it will do it automatically.
