I'm a very new to FME. I'm trying to transform a geodatabase file with several items to a dwg file using the Clipper and shape file boundary. The clipping appears to be working correctly. However, each layer within the new dwg file has a copy of every object. Each layer has the same properties like color, linetype, etc.
Solved
convert gdb to dwg

Immediately after the Clipper, use a FeatureTypeFilter, this transformer has an 'Update' button inside it, which if you push it will add the names of all the Geodatabase FeatureClasses that you passed into the transformer, as output ports. Then you can filter your data off into separate DWG Layers to match the Geodatabase input, except it will be clipped down to just your area of interest.

Thanks for the tip. It worked. Had to watch a couple videos on using transformers to effectively understand your advice before running the translation. Maybe I'll try changing some parameters in order to customize the output layer names and colors, etc.and test few a more times.
I am certainly a newbie to FME, which appears to be very powerful application.
That said, the learning curve is steep but smooth. Cheers :)
