Question
CAD To GIS outputs 7 polylines?
When I am converting from CAD to a Shapefile ALL my lines when imported into GIS go from one in autocad to 7 in ArcMap? I am using Stringsearcher and StringConcatenator to parse out attributes in the layer name with Regex but that is it. Any ideas? Thank you

Hi,
To which geometry type are you setting the writer feature type?
what is the FME geometry type of your input feature? As far as I know shapes can't deal with some cad geometries (paths for example) and converts it into it sown representation.
hope this helps,

Maybe it is a lwpolyline matter in Autocad?
U can convertpoly to set it right.
I do assume u are converting trough FME?
Because i dont think Autocad mapexport function makes an issue of that
Or maybe they were arcs or splines? And get converted to lines when u write to shapepolyline?
I have the geometry set to geodb_polyline for output and default for reader.. And i am converting thru FME. And still have not a clue?
