Extracting and converting together

I have a workbench that reads in .dxf files through a 'Source directory and file pathnames' reader. These are run through a feature merger with a list of the .dxf files that are required to be extracted and read out to a 'File copy directory' writer.

 

What i need to do is take the completed files from the feature merger and choose whether to convert them into .DWG, .DGN or leave as .DXF and then into the file copy director.

 

 

I was thinking that what i need to do is take the files from the file copy director, then convert them from DXF into DWG or DGN but that would need another workbench,

 

 

is this the correct way or is there a way this can happen in one all-encompasing workbench?

 

 

thanks in advance

Yes, you can  to do that in one bench using dynamic writing.

 

One writer for each format, you can use inputfilename for instance or a (re)constructed name, fan-outs etc. Also possible to set relevant parameters and options in the navigator panel (ussualy topp left of interface)  on the different writers.
