It appears that autocad_source_filename was the original method of getting the source autocad name. As I read it, we thought it was such a good idea that we created the generic fme_basename to cover all formats. I'm guessing the autocad attribute is still there for backwards compatibility.
So we won't be getting rid of it, but we won't be exposing it either: the recommendation is to use fme_basename instead Hope this helps explain, Mark --- In [email protected], "mark2atsafe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'll query this with our developers.
