I'm trying to make a new DGN V7 file from DGN V8i. the cells are all exploded as lines and line strings. Is there any way to keep the cells intact?

Hi @FMELizard,
If you would like to keep cells intact, please ensure that "Expand Named Cells" in the reader is set to "No". This will preserve cells as insert points, and not explode the cells into their component geometries. For further information about this parameter please see : https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/igds/Cells.htm

Do you have any sample script that I can see? When I set "expand named cells" to No, nothing written to the V7 file.
to get the cells written (as cells) you also need to provide the DGN Writer with a cell library which contains the cells with the same names as in your source dgn-file. Without the cell library, all cells will be dropped - you probably have warnings in your log-file.

Thanks in advance.
