i have shape file. it has named as roads.what i want need a. design file.how to name the same of the shape file.
no additional attributes want just conversion is enough.i also do shape to shape conversion the names..
please anyone help
Thanks in Advance
The name of the shape file will be in the attribute fme_feature_type. You need to expose that on the reader feature type and can use it on the writer feature type to define the name of the output (DGN) feature type.
Another (faster) way of doing this is:
Start a new workspace, choose Generate Workspace and choose at the bottom (after defining reader and writer) for "single merged feature type".
That should get you the same result.

OK, the reason it isn't the same by default is that FME considers each Shape file to be a separate layer (we call them feature types) so it becomes a new layer in the DGN file, not a new DGN file.
To get the same name use a dataset fanout. Basically locate the writer in the Navigator window, set the Dataset Fanout parameter to yes, and select the fme_feature_type attribute (which you may need to expose first).
I created a short movie that demonstrates the technique:
