FME-newby question: I selected multiple files (.dwg) and dragged them into my workbench. IFME now sees it as 1 input, so when I extract the points I need I get one output, but I want 1 output per file. How do I assign unique values to each file/layer?

 

In short: i have surface profiles as .dwg and i want to turn every single file into a profile in excel.

On the feature type (in your screenshot LD09) expose the fme_basename attribute (this contains the file name of the input).

On the Excel writer you can re-use that file name to create separate Excel files.

No need to add an attribute, but use fme_basename.
