[fme] Reading Large Numbers of DWG's

[Bryan Waller]

Hello Group,   I am putting out a general request from anyone who processes large numbers of AutoCAD drawing files into shape files. I need to process approximately 1500 CAD files, each about 500-750kb.  If the translation is simple with 1 or 2 transformers there is no problem.  Anything more complicated and I run into out of memory errors.   I have tried the 3GB switch, but it does not appear to make a difference.  I am running a 3.6Ghz Dell Workstation with 4GB of RAM.   I am wondering if anyone has any tricks for dealing with large volumes of files.  Is it possible to force FME to process one file, output it, then move on to the next?   Thanks in advance.   Bryan     Bryan Waller, GIS Data Coordinator Midwest Surveys Inc.
