Is it possible to route CAD features based on their symbology/style in FME?

I am trying to separate features in CAD .dwg files and route them into different shapefiles/feature classes for use in GIS. So anything from the .dwg file that is drawn as a sidewalk (according to an existing line style, weight, etc) can be routed to the Sidewalk feature class. Or, say that fences are always drawn in CAD as a dashed line. The FME could take in a drawing and route all features with a dashed line symbology to a Fences layer/shapefile. 

 

 

Is this sort of analysis possible in FME?
Definately. You'll need to look at FME's capabilities around 'Format Attributes' for that one. Try exposing attributes using the AttributeExposer like:

 

 

autocad_color

 

autocad_linetype

 

autocad_lineweight

 

 

Then subsequently use an AttributeFilter or a Tester to split data off in different directions for a different target dataset.
