Michelle, Check the input design file parameter setting EXPAND UNNAMED CELLS. This should be set to NO. If you are combining 3 datasets into one, you don't need to the cloner. Simply connect the levels for all inputs to the output file.

The master design datasets contain labels, a cell and polygons. The master label and polygon datasets will change and I want those changes to be reflected in the final design in the future. At the moment I have set up FME to read all 63 levels within the master datasets. At the moment I have used Cloner to combine the datasets but in the final design, the level structure is retained but I lose some of the polygons. The polygons that get dropped are 'cell polygons' (identified in Microstation as Cell Header Type 2's) ie they have holes within the external boundaries, all the other 'complex shapes' are copied through and on the correct levels. Is there a way to identify these cell polygons? Initially I thought that the type needed to be specified, ie igds_shape or igds_solid but this didn't seem to make a difference. Also when I use ValueMapper after Cloner, all the polygons get copied through, including the cell polygons but I lose the level structure, everything gets dumped onto level 1. I am confident it can be done but I can't seem to get the right combination. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Note: using FME Workbench Beta Suite 2006. Thank you for your time! Have a nice day!
