Would like to read a DWG and report out (in text, or csv or whatever) a list of all of the layers in that DWG. Any ideas on what transformer to use?

I am creating a workflow to check incoming DWGs for compatibility. Ideally I would like to compare it to a template file and find any additional layers that have been added, plus report out a few other things. We want an easy report to accept or reject a DWG coming in from outside. TIA!

To get a list of layers in dwg you can use AttributeExposer set to autocad_layer followed by Aggregator set with GroupBy on autocad_layer attribute.

Worked perfect, thanks. I also got it to work after I posted with the Feature Writer, but I like your way better. Much appreciated!
