Hi Cindy. Are you attempting this in Universal Translator? I think You must create a workspace to map your cellnames to the equivalent blockname. (If they are the same it might work in Universal Translator.) Make sure that neither of the Expand cells check-boxes under Reader Settings is checked, or FME will expand the cells into its smallest parts instead of just reading the insertion point. Also, on the writer side, set autocad_entity to autocad_insert and autocad_block_name to an existing block-name in the template. Good luck. /Nisse

I have a template file *.dwt. It has the block definitions and linetype definitions. But when I use this *.dwt as the template for the DGN to DWG translation, the result DWG does not have the correct inserts and linetype. Those blocks become points and line only have the color correct. Can anyone tell me what should I do? Is this template file the one that I should use for the TEMPLATEFILE? I have txt file that has those block information and linetype information too(see example bellow). How should i use this information for the translation?
