Hi

(Generic Styler)

I don't know whether FME has this option or not but the requirement is to store a symbology in common set of attributes or any common structure so it can be used for any of the format.

For example:- Exposing set of attributes from DWG file and then using that fields for full fledged styling of DGN file.

My idea is to create a transformer that read the symbology related attributes then convert and store them in common structure which can be used for styling of any format at time of writing the file. (Generic Styler)

In a way FME already attempts to do this: any styling present in the source file gets reproduced, as closely as possible, on the destination file. It's not 100% which is for a large part due to differences in how formats handle style. The only generic transformer that does something with regards to styling is the FeatureColorSetter, all the others are format-specific.
