I have created a workbench that transforms DGN cells to AutoCAD blocks. In this process I am trying to set a feature to the defpoints layer but when I aggregate to a block it puts all features on 0. Is there a way to keep that defpoints layer when aggregating?

Hi @gerryjames,

FME cannot currently create multi-layer blocks, and so defines the blocks on layer 0, so they can be placed on any layer in the DWG file.

I have created an enhancement request to add the ability to set the layer of the block component using geometry traits, instead of a feature attributes, which would allow you to create blocks with different components on different layers.

I will notify you as soon as this capability is available.

Thanks for the response. I look forward to any updates as this could be very useful to some of my clients.
