Hi,

 

Query regarding how to perform the following task:

Need to process the translation from multiple CAD files with dynamic schema to multiple file Geodatabase.(*.dwg --> *.gdb)

for e.g

abc.dwg --> abc.gdb

def.dwg --> def.gdb

ghi.dwg --> ghi.gdb

probably fanout is the process but need guidance how can i do it in best and easy way.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, fanout is the way to go. Just expose the fme_basename format attribute on the input DWG features and then use @Value(fme_basename).gdb as the fanout expression in the Navigator, like so:

Note that the DWG has to be split on geometry type, so that all lines end up in a polyline feature class, areas end up in a polygon feature class etc. etc.
