Hello, I need to transform my DWG to SHP. I have one layer that contains 2 types of elements, block reference and polyline, how can i get 2 shp files, one point shape with block reference elements and one line shape with polyline elements? All attributes must be kept in attribute list of shape files.

You'll have to add a DWG reader with the following parameters set:

"Group Entities By: Attribute Schema"

"Explode Blocks into Entities: Off"

This will give you the attributes and the blocks as points.

You'll also have to add a Shapefile Writer and add two feature classes, one for the polyline and one for the point features.
