File Copy Writer - Copy a DWG file from one folder to another

Hi there!

It sounds like you're using a DWG reader in your Workspace. However, the Filecopy writer expects a path with the location of the source file (one feature with the path is enough to copy the entire file to your configured destination).

A common setup is a Directory and File Pathnames [PATH] reader, which reads files from a location on your machine and stores the path in an attribute. You can then use this attribute as a source for your Filecopy Writer.

To summarize:

• The File Copy writer is configured with the destination where you want to copy your file(s) to
• The File Copy writer expects an attribute containing the original location of your file(s) to copy from (filecopy_source_dataset)
• The Directory and File Pathnames [PATH] reader can be used to easily extract file paths and use them as input for your File Copy Writer

Hope this helps and good luck!

Hi @pimc​ !

Thanks so much for the resposne! I'll fiddle around with the Directory and File Pathnames reader and see if that can resolve the issue! Thanks again!
