I have a DXF file containing many feature types, including points, polylines, polygons, text etc.

 

I want to extract the polylines into a shapefile of polyline geometry, and the points into a points shapefile.

 

I am having a hard time finding the transformer(s) needed to carry out this simple task.

 

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

 

Regards,

Ben

Hi Ben,

You could use a GeometryFilter to split your features per geometry type into different streams.

 

Good luck,

Arno

You can generate a workspace (CNTRL +G) and read the CAD based on its geometry, see the readers parameters for that option.
