Hi everyone,

I’m working with DWG files in FME — reading them, attaching XREFs, and then writing back to DWG.

I’m trying to attach an XREF to a specific layer (something other than Layer 0), but so far I haven’t had any success. I’ve tried setting both the fme_feature_type and autocad_layer attributes, but the XREF still ends up on Layer 0.

It also seems that when using the DWG reader, FME always interprets XREFs as being on Layer 0, even when they’re on a different layer in the source DWG.

Has anyone found a way to preserve or specify the layer assignment for XREFs when reading/writing DWG files in FME?

Thanks in advance!
