I saw that in this idea, writing dynamic autocad blocks was implemented in build 22098. Is there any documentation available for this yet? I understand this is still a beta build so it might not be available.
The reason for this is im trying to write out FME aggregates as Autocad blocks with different colours stored as appearances for individual geometries within the aggregate and i cant find a way to preserve these when writing to Autocad.

Hi @ryanspooner
The colors for the block components is presently set at the feature level of the aggregate, rather than on the individual geometries that make up the block, so FME can't create blocks with multiple colors. FME can place multi-colored blocks if they are defined as such in the template file, however.
I have created an enhancement request to have AutoCAD symbology read from geometry traits if they exist (FMEENGINE-71542), which would enable the creation of multi-color and multi-layer blocks. I will notify you if and when this enhancement is implemented.
