Autocad DWG - only create layer if it contains features

HI

 

 

I have a project that converts a large postgres database to Autocad DWG. When I pass in a bounding box parameter it extracts all the relevant features and translates them into a AutoCAD DWG file with multiple 70+ layers.

 

 

My problem is that every potential layer is produced in the DWG file whether they contain features or not. Is there a way of telling FME to only  create the DWG layers that contain features?

 

 

Thanks,

 

 

Mike

Hi,

 

 

You can set the DWG Writer Parameter - "Purge Unused Objects" to "yes".

Hello

 

 

I would need this option too !

 

 

Problem: I cannot find this setting in the DXF/DWG writer (FME 2012) anywhere ...

 

 

Is this a new option ?
