How can I force FME to call the resulting dwg by the "feature type name" that I define in the name parameters of the writer? It seems that when I do define a name here, it still reverts to calling the output whatever I chose when I was first forced to chose a folder and file name of the writer.
have you tried using a Dataset Fanout (http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Workbench/Default.htm#Setting_Dataset_Fanout_Properties.htm)?

Datasetname would be the autocad file (dwg)
To do that u need ot use the Datasetfanout. Rightclick on the autocadwritername in the navigatorpane. Choose fanoutdataset...
set to yes, and fill out the parameters.
What is the reasoning for this added bit of complexity?
In other words, why the inconsistency between writers?
Dataset conceptually is a data set of multiple feature types, so it will be: a folder for the 1st type; a file for the 2nd type. I think there is no inconsistency
