I created a workbench previously that read in Garmin waypoint information stored in an AutoCAD DXF file and converted into my GIS with a SQL Server DB.  This was before FME had a reader for the Garmin GDB file format.  I made a copy of that workbench and modified it to read the GDB file instead of the AutoCAD DXF.  Toward the end of the translation sequence I have an AttributeRemover to remove unused attributes, but I noticed that somehow the workbench still has some default AutoCAD attributes floating in there.  When I see the list of attributes I can remove, I see about 20 or so AutoCAD related attributes.

 

 

My question is this:  Is there a way to flush or reset the workbench so that it only contains attributes related to the current readers, writers, creaters, etc. or do I need to create the work bench from scratch in order to eliminate all these AutoCAD attributes?
Hi,

 

 

You could use the attribute keeper at the beginning of your translation, to remove them.

Well I was looking for a way that wouldn't need to have an additional translator.  Anyone else have a suggestion?

 

 

Or just create a fresh workbench?
