I am new to FME and I love it but I'm stuck on something that I thought should be easy. I want to convert DGN or DWG to Shapefile. I want to produce shapefiles for Point, Line and Polygon. Most importantly I want to retain what we would call attributes in GIS. This is information such as Entity, Level, Layer, Color, Linetype, Elevation per feature. These are visible in ArcGIS if you view as CAD but when I convert using FME workbench these are not carried through. If I look at the CAD in FME inspector I see many attributes but not the ones I need that I can see within ArcGIS. Can anyone help?

Hi @geothomas, a good starting point is to check out what is available in the knowledge base on your topic, another option is to have a look if there are any recorded webinars on the topic (such as this)

Hope this helps.
