Hello friends,

I solve the issue in this way

 

Reader > counter >Attribute Manager>writer

 

Reader = dgn and writer = shp

 

Counter = Change counter parameters

  1. count start (only numeric values)
  2. Output attribute name

Attribute = Attribute parameter Values

  1. parameter condition definition changed
  2. changed test condition and attribute value

Writer = Feature Type > user attributes > manual > typ change to char

for forum new attribute value creating

@chithramc​  If you want integer IDs you can use the Counter. UUIDGenerator will create, well, UUID's.
