Reproject AutoCAD all layers and write to AutoCAD

I have an AutoCAD drawing with hundreds of layers.  I want to reproject the whole drawing and write it out as an AutoCAD drawing with all layer formats and attributes, blocks, etc preserved.  So basically take the whole drawing and reproject it and create the exact same DWG in a different coordinate system.

 

 

When I read in the DWG, FME shows my all the layers separately.  Surely I don't have to connect each one to a Reprojector transformer?

Hi,

 

 

If you re-read your data and select single merged feature type (workflow options) you will get all layers in one reader.

Itay is right. In most cases, you can then simply specify the desired coordinate system on the Writer and FME will take care of the rest.
