I have a DWG file and in a layer has a field in autocad_text_string that has a date. But in all 1000 records this field only appears 1 time obviously ... how do I make this date repeat for all other 999 features? considering that I will read a whole folder with several DWG files, how do I make each one have its own date?

 

Thank´s

You can use a FeatureMerger for that, put the 999 features in as Requestors and the one with the date as a Supplier, then set the join on something that will always be true, so for example 1 as both the requestor and supplier.

FME rocks! \m/
