Happy new year, everyone!

As mentioned by FME supporter, FME2007beta is supporting DWG2007 
file (produced by Autodesk Architecture Desktop07). I am trying to 
read the DWG file and write it to GML format.

I am using: FME2007 built 4207. DWG 2007 Format.
There are four wall objects and two windows objects(on one of the 
walls) in the DWG file, and they are 3D objects. 

Then I added wall layer and window layer as the source dataset, and 
two GML destination sets. When i executed it to GML file by FME, i 
could successfully get two GML files. With the successful 
information of FME like "2 windows features and 4 wall features were 
written...". But When i opened the files, there were only correct 
feature numbers, but without any geometry information.
In the log window, some blue sentences "AutoCAD2004 entity 
type 'AcDbProxyEntity' not supported" happened.

So I played around and tried to find another way. Later, i found if 
i exported my DWG data by Autodesk Architecture Desktop07 "export to 
Autocad 2007 format", and followed the same above steps. I could get 
two GML files with geometries. But the geometries were not in order, 
that means, for wall.gml there were around 90 gml surfaces. Those 
geometries together consisted the two windows, but people could not 
recognize which gml surface belongs to which window... That is not 
people wants.

For my point of view, in the second way, the geometries were 
exploded with another foramt, so that FME handled them correctly. 
But i am not sure about that, because i am just a new FME user. 
Anyway, i still have not reached my aim, to have the GML files with 
two windows containing correct geometries.

Any help is much appreciated!
