Hello,

 

Has anyone ever created an ArcGIS Pro layer file *.lyrx inside FME for use in ArcGIS Pro? For example, converting a *.dwg file into *.gdb, aswell as creating a layer file which holds the symbology from the *.dwg.

 

Thanks, @Takashi Iijima​ @danilo_fme​ @Hans van der Maarel​

    I am wondering the same thing.

    Probably the best way would be to use ArcPy with a PythonCaller to modify an existing layer file, using the updateConnectionProperties() function. See link below.
