Hello everyone,
I am converting several SDE geod to respective CAD files. All CADs need to be written in the same folder (with suffix of the currentdate). I created this folder in Python Caller. How can I now route CADs to this folder?
How to write several dwg files to new created folder from PythonCaller

Hello,
FME can automatically create folders for you, if you write to ...\new_folder\test.dwg the ‘test.dwg’ file will be written in the newly created folder ‘new_folder’. You can also use a Date/Time function to create a folder name:
...\new_folder_@Left(@DateTimeNow(),8)\test.dwg
This will write ‘test.dwg’ to a newly created folder called ‘new_folder_20240311’
If you want to stick to the PythonCaller approach I would try the following:
- Use the PythonCaller to create a feature with the path to the folder you created.
- Merge the path onto the features you are writing to your DWG.
- Use the attribute in your DWG FeatureWriter to dynamically write to the folder you just created.
If you need help with any of the steps, let me know.

Hi
I am now using Feature Reader to read multiple geod. I used Feature Writer (output format as dwg) to create the new folder named as current date and year.
What transformers can I use in between these two to export the dwg files to the above created folder with their same name as in the geod? Any suggestion is highly appreciated. Thanks
