I am trying to update some old workbenches we have.  Looking at our shapefile writers, we would like to use the 'spatial index' functionality that is available in FME 2013.  I am looking for an efficient way of adding a new shapefile writer and then coping over the attributes and other properties from the old shapefile writer. 

 

Is there a non-manual way of doing this?

 

Thank you for your time,

 

Julia

Probably the easiest way is to use Writers > Add Writer from the menubar, then open a feature type and change the Writer from the old one to the new one. Use "Apply To...." if there are multiple feature types. Then delete the original Writer, which should now have no feature types attached to it.

 

 

Hope this helps
