With FeatureReader, if an AutoCAD file is dynamically assigned as the Dataset via attribute, how can we filter geometries on certain layers by the layer names? Here is the image of the transformer's property definition showing the specific ports manually entered which was later ignored.

Hi!

You should be able to browse ("...") for Feature Types to Read and then select Feature Types from a sample dwg (or several) when the dataset is set by an attribute:

Excellent, @ulfme! I did not know what to do with the "Unresolved Parameters" and it turned out to be the ticket!
