DO you need the actual cell symbol, or the cell location with the name of the cell.

In that case, change the DGN reader setting to "Explode Cells" - No (uncheck box).

If you need the symbols to remain complete, you want to use the Aggregator (group by the id of the cell) and use the Inside port plus the Outside port. Follow the Outside by a Tester to test on _clipped = 'yes' and add the Passed features. That will add the part of the cell symbol that is outside the clipping area.

I'm a beginner FME user so I have not used the aggregator. Can you explain it a little more? thanks.
