Hi,

I asked the below question a few years ago regarding whether I could change the colour of a graphic cell, and the consensus was that I could only change its colour if I first converted it to a point cell.

https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/23887/dgnstyler-cell-color.html

Does anyone know if there has been any advancements since then which would allow me to set the colour and level of a graphic cell in FME?

Thanks,

Hi @aquamarine,

In FME, it is not possible to alter the colour of a graphic cell due to the properties of graphic cells.

This is because the symbology of a graphic cell is set when the graphic cell definition is initially created. FME does not "create" the graphic cell when writing but rather is referencing the graphic cell definition. Whereas with a point cell, the symbology is set as each point cell is placed and can be modified with the DGNStyler prior to writing out.

For more information about differences between graphic and point cells is described in this Microstation article.
