Dear community,
I am running a conversion from dwg to ifc. the necessary information is placed on a layer which is named differently in each file. I can't find a way to process this automatically, since everytime the workspace-runner brings in a new dwg-file, the attributes are stored on a differenty named layer. Is there a possibilty to read in dwg-files with a filter looking for specification within a layername?
Thanks a lot for any hint on this matter.

You can use a dynamic reader, it will read all the contents of all the input files regardless of the layer name or contents. To do this, make sure to select "Single merged feature type" in the first dialog when creating the reader.
You can then e.g. use a Tester on the format attributes autocad_layer and autocad_layer_desc (you'll have to manually expose them in the input feature type first).

Thanks David for the superfast reply!
I have modified the workbench and it seems to work fine. I still have issues with the workspace runner, but not yet sure, what it is about. that would be topic for another question anyway...
