I was wondering what the intention of this Reader is. It seems to only read the data in from the underlying FeatureClass.

 

 

A layer file contains a lot of important information used for the display of the data in ArcMap. This includes visible fields, field aliases, defintion queries and scale ranges (to name a few). I am wondering why the reader does not expose these properties of the layer file. We are using 2013 SP4.
Hi,

 

Conceptualy FME is about data and not that much about the visualisation of it.

 

For example writting to a DWG without a template file limits the possiblities of setting colors and line properties.

 

It is possible (DWGStyler) but a more effective way is to use the template file method.
