Hi,

I'm trying to convert a dxf file to postgis using group by attribute schema. This works fine but if I "select Store Layer Properties on Features", I do not get new columns describing autocad_layer_linetype, autocad_layer_color, and autocad_layer_lineweight as I expected.

Why ? I'm using FME Desktop 2016.1.0.0 (20160419 - Build 16492 win32) on x64.

Thanks,

Olivier

"If you select this option, the AutoCAD Reader will add additional attributes describing the layer properties for the layer of each feature. These include autocad_layer_linetype, autocad_layer_color, and autocad_layer_lineweight."

This option adds attributes like autocad_layer_color to the features.

This and other attributes are hidden by default, you only need to expose them with the AttributeExposer to see them as columns. When connecting an inspector to the output port you see the attributes in the Feature Information dock.

By double clicking the value of the hidden attribute value, you can copy paste the hidden attribute name to the exposer.
