hello everyone, I think this might not be the right place to ask this question, since it's more about FME desktop than Microstation Connect. But I still wanted to ask this question, sinceon the forum of SAFE ( the provider of FME desktop) not much people work with dgn files in FME desktop.So, I thought why not try to ask this question in this forum and see whether I have more chance that someone might answer this question
In case this forum is not the right place to ask question, just let me know. Then I will delete this question.In case it's not a problem. This question is targeted to people who work with Microstation Connect Edition and FME desktop.
The problem is that I try to write features to different models in a dgn file. In the attributemanager in FME desktop I determine that certain features are written to different models determined by fme_feature_type. I have written the feature to a dgn file that is based on a seed file that already has included the models to which the features should be written to.However, when I look at the output, I see that the features are not written to their respective model and I get the following popop that the model doesn't exist.

You're correct: not many people are using FME Desktop with MicroStation -- that's not evident on this Forum. You're the first person to mention FME Desktop.
FME is primarily aimed at geographers. A better place to post your question on Be Communities would be the OpenCities Forum.

You are definitely better off posting this on the FME Community website.
To get you started, you will need to define "igds_model_id" and "igds_model_name" in the translation in order to write to separate models.
If you are still having issues , just start a thread on the FME Community website and post the link here. I will try to assist you further.

Because the v8 DGN format is badly supported in FME as they tried to stick with IGDS logic. Not many uses it because as it mostly ends like this and no real support from SAFE. None of my reported issues to FME are resolved.
Thanks, this is the link of the question I have posted. community.safe.com/.../is-it-possible-to-write-features-to-different-models-in-a-dgn-file
Do I have to make a new post or can I move my post to the OpenCities Forum myself?
