Place Microstation Cells in FME

If you want to place Microstation cells from a cell library using the FME Workbench, the following must be done:

1. In the destination dataset feature type, open up the Feature Type Properties form and enable the igds_type and igds_cell_name Format Attributes property.
   
   
   
   
2. Right click on the igds_type property's green arrow and choose to Attach Constant to it. Then key in igds_cell as the constant value. Right click on the igds_cell_name property's green arrow and choose to Attach Constant to it. Key in the cell name e.g. TREE.
   
   
   
   
3. Lastly, assign your cell library file to the destination dataset's Cell Library File parameter.
   
   
   
   Note: Make sure that the cell you are placing has a definition in the cell library.
