I am currently reading all .dwg files from a folder with a dwg reader and it works well. To gain time, I would like to select in the reader the layers I want to keep (named “CADRE”)  instead of reading all the dwg files and the thousands of elements contained by them, which I filter after as I am doing currently (see photo).

 

I looked the reader documentation and on forums but I can’t find the right parameters, is it not possible to do something like that? 

Thanks for your help!

This can at least be done in the FeatureReader, so it should be possible in a Classic readers as well.

Be aware, when using the FeatureReader to read DWG, set “Schema/Data Features” to “Data Features” if you don’t need the schema file as this hurts performanse quite a bit.
