The Problem we are having is our linework ending up on the "wrong" layer. We have a code for fence & gates (FEN & GATE) then we can add a ".BW" to either and it gets put on a layer to represent BarbWire ; another example is ".CL" for chainlink. So the FEN.BW is put on a barbwire fence layer and FEN by itself gets put on our general fence layer... no real issues until we fbk the asc file.
Points come in proper (Desc Key file is good), meaning FEN.BW is on our barbwire fence layer but linework gets put on fence general layer. Our FigPre codes - layers are:
FEN - LA_FEN-Ex , FEN.BW - LA_FEN_BW-Ex , FEN.CL - LA_FEN_CL-Ex
Now the only way we can get the FEN.BW or the FEN.CL layer to be on the proper linetypes/layers is to force our general FEN layer to be: FEN. It must have the period at the end. Without, all FEN linework gets placed on the general layer, with the period in the code all our FEN coded "lines" are put on the figure layer or unassigned layer.
We've tried to wrap our heads around this but still cant figure it out. Any help is greatly appreciated I attached a word doc with part of our fig pre library in it.

I know it is a nice standard to use the . as a
separator but why not simply drop it, so that FEN.B is FENB?
