Hi
I am trying to set up a dynamic workbench to convert a dwg drawing with object data to an ADAC xml file. I am pointing to a folder as the dwg source file. The source folder will contain a dwg file which will be deleted upon conversion. so the next incoming dwg will have a different name. I want the destination xml file to have the same name as the incoming dwg file. Could some one please confirm if this is possible and if so suggest methhods that I could use to achieve this objective.
Hi @luckydesilva,
You can use the following:
Read the folder content with a merge feature type (*.dwg) and expose the fme_basename for the DWG file name.
Another option is to use the directory and file paths reader with a filter (*.dwg) and use the attributes produced by the reader for location and file name.
A shutdown Python script or a simple systecaller dos combination can help delete the original file.
Hope this helps.
Hi Itay
I shall try the merge feature option. I think I tried the "filename path extractor" but this does not appear to work. I maybe doing something wrong of course.
Thank you!
