Shp to DWG, how to draw order layers?

P

Hi,

I'm converting different shapefiles to 1 DWG. How can I set the draw order of the layers in Autocad automatically with FME?

Thanks!

Regards,

Pieter

hi @pietervb94, as far as i know the order in the dwg is defined by the order of the objects reaching the writer (last object on top). You could try holding/sorting your features to get the desired result, depending on how complex your data is...

There's an (old) idea you could vote on to get more control on drawing order:

Add a Sorter before the FeatureWriter to sort the Features by layer. FME Format attribute: autocad_layer.
