Hi,
I need help by creating ACAD block in FME.
There are more DWG files with buildings, one building per file, filename=BuildingID. I need to merge them into one DWG file, where each building should result into one block with block_name=BuildingID.
I can simulate it in ACAD, but I need to do it for hundreds tiles, with hundreds buildings each.
Attached are two buildings DWG (5296285, 5356200) and result file with blocks (5300_340000).
Thank you very much for any help!

Hi @uvmsci,
If you read in multiple DWG files, then aggregate by the attribute fme_basename, you can create a single file containing a block for each building:
However, FME cannot presently create blocks that contain geometry on more than a single layer, or more than a single color, so it cannot exactly reproduce the target file. All the input geometry will be present, but will have the same layer and color.

Thank you @daveatsafe,
this is what I encounter all the time. I can create a block with single layer. I was hoping in some trick by aggregate with some list attribute that can distinguish layers within the block...
What about DGN - is there any chance to achieve this with DGN cells?
Thanks a lot!
