How to keep source dataset attributes in output dataset?


Trying to do a simple .dwg to .shp conversion. I have multiple inputs, how can I ''batch'' select format attributes so that they are kept in the shapefile writer? For now, in the feature type parameter,I choose "select all'' to include all autocad and fme specific attributes. But how can I do this if my .dwg has hundreds of feature types? hope this is clear.

thanks!

Hi @hugo.crites,

After selecting the format attributes to expose in the first input feature type, click Apply to... instead of OK to bring up the Change Multiple Feature Types dialog. This will allow you to select which format attributes you want to expose and the feature types you want to apply the change to.

You can find more detailed information at Editing Reader Feature Types.
