I would like a PRJ file written alongside the DWG when using a dynamic format workflow. The bespoke AutoCAD writer has a setting, just looking for how to do with with a dynamic workflow.

Hi @bruceharold​,

If you add an AutoCAD writer in addition to the Generic writer, but don't create any output feature types for it, the settings for that writer will be used whenever the Generic writer writes to that format. This is the usual method we recommend for fine control of the Generic writer output.
