Hi,

I'm using FME to translate dxf r12 files to shape. When I do a basic
translation each feature in the dxf file is written to its own shape
file. For example:

map.dxf - contains lines and polygons and translates to

lines.shp, dbf and shx
poly1.shp...
poly2.shp...
poly3.shp...
....

and if its just a line file in dxf format, each line feature is
converted to its own shape file. for example:

line.dxf - contains lines or polylines only and translates to

line1.shp...
line2.shp
line3.shp
....

and the file names are always based on the tag of the features coming
out of the dxf file. This is a Big Big Pain!

Does anyone know how to get a dxf file containing lines and polygons
to two shape files named based on the input file and containing all
lines and all polygons.

Or do I have some setting switched so that this is happening?? I can't
find anything about it in the FME Help manual or on the Safe website.

Thanks Jas
