I want to convert shape files to DGN map squares(tiles). For the output I use FANOUT. As input I use a csv file with coordinates of map squares to determine the naming and boundaries of the DGNs. I also want to use the same naming convention for the multiple input seedfiles. I have added SEEDFILE as an attribute in the workflow. I get an error message that: DESIGN WRITER: Failed to copy seed file ‘@Value(SEEDFILE)’.dgn to the destination data file @Value(FILENAME).dgn…. Either the path to destination does not exist or the file is in use by other programs. IT looks that ii is not recognized in Parameter Seed File…
PS:
@Value(FILENAME).dgn I use for the FANOUT is recognised but not when I use it for the seed-file such as seed_@Value(FILENAME).dgn
EXAMPLE:
seed_100200.dgn → 100200.dgn
seed_100200.dgn → 100201.dgn

    Hi ​@datapunt 

    I'm sorry that no one has responded to your question yet!

    Have you tried using a FeatureWriter instead? This could be a potential workaround.

    Please let me know if this works for you.

    I have also submitted a ticket for our development team (internal reference: FMEENGINE-98528) and I will make sure to keep you updated on the progress.
