Hi There,

I am using FME to convert data into DWG by using a predefined template. This works fine but has the limitation that I cannot dynamically create layers since they will not match with the template definitions and creating the layers in the workspace has its own disadvantages.

 

I cannot add all possible definitions into the template since the data and therefore the splitsing of the layers is different per conversion.

 

I would appreciate any ideas or other ppl experiences trying to achieve this.

 

Cheers,

 

Itay

I solved this by creating a template (B) from a template (A) and then create the final file based on template (B).

 

Also see this idea.

Hi Niels,

Yes that is the way I was thinking of solving it too, not very efficient and possibly disruptive....that's why I was hoping for a different suggestion.

An alternative I tried was to use FME to textedit a DXF template, but found more downsides and decided to go the other road.

Thx again Niels, this is even more tricky....and error prone. Appreciate you sharing this.

Seems like this is a limitation of FME that is not easy to solve.
