Custom Autocad Properties Import to Dynamo

[james_fisher1]

Does anybody know how to read properties from an autocad object into dynamo?

For reference, I’m trying to import an object into dynamo that was originally a shape file. Hence, whilst it is technically a poly line, in practice it has several custom properties that don’t otherwise exist in cad.

Specifically looking at the OD:EXISTINGCOMMSLine properties from the attached image.

• This file was provided to me by another user. I think the attribute is probably part of a Property Set, but I don’t understand why it is appearing under design instead of Extended Data, and I think this is probably part of my problem in reading the data. For Reference, dynamo says that no property sets exist in this file.

MAPIMPORT attach Attributes from SHAPE File as OD (Object Data) in AutoCAD MAP / Civil 3D.

ACA / MEP and Civil 3D uses for AEC Object Attributes  as PSD (Property Set Definitions).

You can use Object Data in Dynamo as well.
