Are fme_feature_type_name not layers in AutoCAD?
every object belongs to a layer, you are looking at layer names.
A layer name is not an attribute_name, it is an attribute_value.
There is no list as you call it, but you can make one.
If you want them in a list, you must use list builder (with no group b) or an aggregator also with no group by. Or group by fme_basename or fme_dataset (which is name of the AutoCAD file, dataset includes path)
If you got a lot of objects you get a big list. Use listduplicate remover if you just want the a list of the possible layernames.
Also the format_attributes will be in there, use a bulkattribute remover and tester to remove those
If you expose the attribute autocad_layer , you get the same values. You can expose those on the reader tab Format attributes.

bulkattribute remove all autocad attribtes from list:
_list{.+}.autocad_.+
bulkattribute remove all fme attributes except the fme_feature_type from list:
use in BulkAttributeRemover:
_list{.+}.fme_(?!feature_type).+

add your own acad file..
Hi Gio!
First of all, thank you very much for answering so quickly!!!
Second, I think I have expressed myself incorrectly! You are right, as you can see from the screenshot of the Inspector I already get the list of names of layers. That is fine. Now I'd like to also get, for each layer, the name and datatype of its attributes! (If I add a FeatureReader for each layer, and connect them to an Inspector, I will be able to review the data objects: the geometry and its attributes (AUTOCAD_BLOCK_NAME, AUTOCAD_ENTITY, AUTOCAD_ENTITY_HANDLE, AUTOCAD_LAYER, AUTOCAD_ROTATION...). I want to get the list of the names and datatypes of all those attributes, for each layer.

Hi,
The workbench I posted can be used for that.
Just use a the listbuilder grouped by basename and fme_featuere_type (or Autocad_layer)
Don't use the first BulkAttributeRemover.
That's it.
Here is the workbench adapted to your needs.
Just ad a ACAD file to the listbuilder input.
I don't know if the link for the workbench works...not at my side at least (probably firewall)
So here is a pic of it.
Zoom in..
