Hi Scott,
I can't help with the Smallworld part, but to start off
I'd do the following:
- create a lookup table between your layer numbers and
trench types in your favourite database (key=layername,
value=typename)
- bring in the DWG specifying "Attribute Schema" in the
Settings
- simplify the ipput side of the equation by deleting
all but one of the Feature Types
- on the remaining Feature Type, in the Merge
settings check off "Merge feature type" with a wildcard Merge filter of
*
- expose the autocad_layer format
attribute
- run all of the features through a Joiner, joining
between the autocad_layer attribute and the layername from your lookup
table
- use an AttributeCreator to set the attribute Type to
the value &typename
If you prefer not to keep your lookup values in a
separate database, you can use a ValueMapper instead of the
Joiner.

Subject: [fme] Filters to merge multiple .dwg layers into one object - which one(s) to use?
Hi Group,
I want to translate a bunch of .dwg layers
into one Smallworld object (where layer number corresponds to an attribute
value). Can anyone suggest which filters to might use?
eg.
The .dwg has 4 layers (01,
02, 03, 04). All layers contain trench
geometries, layer numbers corresponds
to a trench type:
01 = "direct
burried"
02 =
"pipe"
03 = "G.L.T"
04 = "G.S.T"
I want to import the geometries, and set the value of
the Type field based on the layer
number.
I'm using FME Workbench with the SpatialBus plugin for
Smallworld v.3.1
Any help would be
great
Thanks
Scott
