Hi,

I have a problem where I use DWGstyler to assign different colors to different blocks, but when I open the file in CAD, all these blocks have the same color in red. I am new to FME and hope someone can help me with this problem. Thanks in advance!

What is the color of the block in the template? I think it just copies the source object from the template to the new file, you probably can't change the color of the block.

Hi, thanks for answering. I didn't use any template for creating the CAD file.

Can you share a drawing and the workbench so we can what is happening?

Hi, first I created vertexes and than give different buffer values to bufferer different vertexes. I checked a little bit, it seems that the combination of bufferer and extrusion made it problematic for the color in CAD. If I only use extrusion then I don't have the problem of seeing all the colors i defined. 2020-12-01 08_32_11-_XLSXR → ACAD (O__STH_294842_B_=Arbetsarea=_Chunling_FME Geobim_KBH_snabb lösnin
