Is there a way to control the order of layers that are output to the DWG Writer or is that controlled by the DWG Template used?

I have a number of layers say A,B,C but I want the DWG output to be B,A,C.

If I output to a PDF the order of the layers is the order they appear in the PDF Output but if I send the same layers and order to the DWG they are ordered in the same order as the template. My guess is I just need to change the order in the template but just wanting to see if anyone knows of a way in FME.

Thanks

Dean

@deanhowell, you are right: the order is the same as in the used AutoCAD template file.

To change the order, you will have to change the template.
