Hi everybody,

I try to assign a specific layer for several attributes in a block Acad (in order to respect our CAD standard).

I try to assign dedicated layer with the "Attribute manager" (see attachement), but when the acad file is created, I've only one layer defined by "Layer Name" in DWG Writter.

Following documentation, it should be possible to acces this kind of information:

https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/acad/Inserts.htm

 

 

But in my case, it doesn't work ... any help ?

 

 

Thanks

 

Eric T.

If these are dynamic blocks, FME can read the blocks and attributes, but not write them.

A PR is in the system to add this to the DWG writer, but it has not yet been built.

I have run into the same limitation.

Adding your vote to this Idea might help: Dynamic blocks
