Autodesk AutoCAD DWF Writer: Format Parameters

To access feature type parameters, click the gear icon on a feature type in the workspace to open the Feature Type Parameter Editor. To always display the editor in Workbench, you can select View > Windows > Parameter Editor.

General

All feature types share similar General parameters, including the Feature Type Name, Reader or Writer Name, and Geometry.

In most Writer Feature Type parameter dialogs, you can also control Dynamic Schema Definitions. Some database formats accept a Table Qualifier prefix on the output table feature type.

See Editing Writer Feature Types for more information.

These parameters apply only to a selected feature type, not to the entire writer.

Tip: If a feature type parameter listed here conflicts with a writer-level parameter, then the writer parameter will be ignored and this feature type parameter will be used.

The AutoCAD DWF writer requires that every feature written to the AutoCAD file be stored within a predefined AutoCAD layer.

In AutoCAD, the layers are used to store collections of logically related attributes. Within FME, the AutoCAD layer and the type of the feature are treated synonymously, as there is a one-to-one correspondence between FME feature type and AutoCAD layer. (Layers can also be defined through the use of a TEMPLATEFILE.)
