DGNStyler / DGN Writer not recognizing cell '1'

I have encountered a strange issue where FME doesn’t recognise a cell named ‘1’ in any of the cell files I have tried using it with.

This arises both using the DGNStyler, where the cell is missing from the pick-list (and it’s the only one missing),

and also by applying the idgs_cell_name format attribute, where the dgn writer gives the warning that the cell could not be found in the cell file and it will be dropped from the output.

This issue is in the 2022.2.4 FME Workbench currently our workplace standard, but NOT in an older 2017.1 installation.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi, ​@rlacey.

Thanks for posting to the community! Are you able to share sample data that includes the cell named ‘1’ and a log file? I can take a look from there.

Thanks!

Hi ​@AliAtSafe  I am having same problem as the one described. The Cell Name CR is not being recognized although it is available in Cell Library. 

Since the data is confidential, I cannot attach here but can send an email to you.

DESIGN WRITER: Cell with the name 'CR' could not be found in the cell library provided. Feature is being skipped.…

The issue is between FME 2018 to FME 2024

Howdy, I raised support ticket through reseller with action of FMEENGINE-86066 from Safe. As a workaround I asked CAD officers to supply a cel file with just the problem symbol by itself. This was added to the existing cel files to load and it solved the issue.

Sorry I did not comprehend the resolution completely 
@AliAtSafe ​@rlacey It seems that a cell file with just the problem symbol fixed the issue. Unfortunately, the work around to split problematic cell file would be too onerous.
I have a support ticket #55546 f​@AliAtSafe
