Hi there, Could I please have an update on if the I3S writer support point clouds after the release of 2023.1.1? If not then could I please have an update on the timeframe on this? Thanks, Shilpa

I'm seeing the following lines in the Translation Log:AutoCAD Reader: Entity type of 'AeccDbAlignmentStationLabeling' found, but not supported. Skipping entityAutoCAD Reader: Entity type of 'AeccDbAlignmentMinorStationLabeling' found, but not supported. Skipping entityI'm reading a .DWG in as an AutoCAD Civil 3D format file. Am I interpreting this correctly that station labels are not supported by FME?

I was able to do a cumulative count of duplicate values (where duplicate is “-1” only) using a Group By on a Counter transformer shown below. (Added note: I should have added this to remove ambiguity - SORRY. The output as shown below in the Preview is the desired output. I only care to know the number of consecutive sequential values when the value is “-1”. If the pattern changes and another series of duplicate “-1” appears, the count starts with “1” again. I don’t care if the pattern for duplicate values are greater than “0”, like “2420” on the Preview.)  Since I have more than a dozen of these attributes, I’d like to use an AttributeCreator instead but I can’t seem to use the CurrentAttribute() to accumulate duplicate values.In addition, everytime a sequence of “-1”s begin (as shown in row 143 above), count starts at 1 again.Any suggestions?

Hey guys, We are on FME Form and Flow 2026. I have a Form which generates an email, and I have a Flow Automation that using the “Resource or Network Directory (updated) delay” trigger my Form.I am facing an issue. The directory that I am watching will always gets update with three different files, this means, my Flow runs my Form three times and three separate emails gets generated with the same content. I am unable to change the directory where files are located, since the files that get generated are from am older system that I can’t touch. Is there anyway to add a delay to the Flow? or to the Form that stop the system from running three times?  Thanks

I revisited an old scenario: turning raster floor plans into routable indoor networks. Back in 2017 I drew the network by hand in MicroStation. This time I wanted AI to do the work.First, I asked Gemini to do the whole network. It looked convincing, but a closer inspection revealed disconnected sub-networks and missed offices. So I split the job.Gemini does only small perception tasks: declutter the area labels, mark office doors, connect them with orthogonal corridors, and isolate the result to a clean black-and-white raster. It also returns door coordinates and office numbers as JSON (Gemini is currently the only AI that can do this operation quite accurately). That's where the AI's role ends, the rest is pure, traditional FME.I turn the JSON into vector nodes, vectorize raster to polygons, extract centerlines, extend them with DangleExtender (my new CT - https://hub.safe.com/publishers/safe-lab/transformers/dangleextender) to close the gaps at office points, and snap into a connecte

I am writing AutoCAD DWG with changing areas/extents. My template file defines the styling. When opening the file in CAD it zooms to a blank area (possibly from the extents of the template file) and I need to zoom to extents to find my current area. Is it possible to either remove any extent information from the template file, or force the output DWG file to zoom in on the current area extents?

I am using FME to write to microstation DGN. The FME workbench file is using the fanout option to write different areas to the microstation DGN file, based on the same seed file. At the moment I have to use a microstation macro to "fitview" of each produced file in order to have the microstation file centered at each specific area. I rather use only FME to avoid this additonal step.Is there a way / transformer in FME to save the microstation file centered in the written data?

Hi All,I'm experiencing a bug in the Excel writer in the new FME 2024.0. I've made a script that outputs multiple data categories I need to process in a particular order to ensure my calculations are fed as desired. The bug causes the attribute names to not be written in the first row in Excel; it just starts with the data in the second row. Whenever I open the exact same script in FME 2023.2, the writer does write the field row names, without me changing anything in the writer settings.For now, my solution is to not use FME 2024, but since my customer does use 2024, it's not desirable. Does anyone have any ideas?Here is a preview of Excel. I can't scroll up to the first row, the data is not hidden, and the navigator also won't allow me to go to row 1. 

I am clipping a raster by a polygon, but it sometimes seems to skip parts, I have the clipper set to Candidates on clipper boundary set to Output as Inside.  I know this poly crosses 4 cells, so this is what I was thinking would come out of the clipper Inside port  But instead I get this Any thoughts why it is skipping that one cell?  This is a single band raster and all these cells have data 

When adding a Geopackage Writer to the workspace and using the “Copy from Reader...” functionality to import a feature type definition (from a Geopackage reader), the geometry set on the Geopackage writer feature type is incorrect.Upon opening the newly added writer feature type, it doesn’t show any geometry. Opening it a second time then shows the Geometry as <All>, which is not a valid value for the Geopackage format. We’re currently investigating the issue and will be filing a bug report shortly to get this issue resolved. 

Currently I have 23 CoG’s in an Azure Blob container and I want to retrieve only the area of those CoG’s covered by a rectangle that I use as the initiator for a FeatureReader.Unfortunately, the FeatureReader is reading first all the CoG’s in before making the decision where the bounding box is within, and then it returns the entire CoG, where I was rather expecting it would return the part the bounding box is covering.The CoG’s originate from the Copernicus DEM coverage GLO-30, contain overviews, etc…It takes almost 3 minutes for the FeatureReader to process the request. The bounding box is within a single CoG.When looking at the parameters for the COG reader, then I can see there is actually the possibility to set a search envelope. I could feed the bounding box to the envelope, which sadly is missing in the FeatureReader. Is there a way to speed things up? I only want to have the parts of the COG’s covered by the bounding box used as initiator, basically performing a range request.

Has anyone successfully connected to Snowflake using OAuth? We have been using a local account to connect to Snowflake but have recently been requested to use an Azure based OAuth connection. We have an assigned client ID, key and refresh url available but need to understand how to make the calls. Thanks!

Hello,We are currently upgrading an FME-based application for one of our customers from FME 2020 to FME 2024, and we have encountered an issue that appears to be related to coordinate system handling.The application uses FME to convert a set of DGNV8 drawings into an MS SQL Server database. For some drawings, we observe a positional shift of approximately 10 centimeters (a few decimeters at most) after processing.In the DGNV8 Reader, the Coordinate System parameter in the Navigator window is set to "".When inspecting the source datasets with FME Data Inspector in FME 2020, all drawings are reported as having an Unknown Coordinate System, regardless of which file is opened.However, in FME 2024, we see different behavior:For some drawings, Data Inspector reports the coordinate system as EPSG:28992. For other drawings, it reports NationalRD-NL.The drawings belonging to the latter group appear to be shifted relative to the other drawings.My questions are:Is this behavior related to differe

I have a single dataset containing a set of polygons. Some of these polygons are touching each other. I would like to dissolve polygons which are touching (of orverlapping) into one large polygon. However, I would also like the new large polygon to take over the attributes from a specific feature. The feature from which the attributes are to be taken has a specific name in one of the attributes. Let's call this attribute “NAME". Hence, I sorted the features based on “NAME” before feeding to the Dissolver. However, it seems the Dissolver does not choose my first sorted feature to take the attributes from, but it seems to choose the feature (polygon) with the largest surface area. There does not seem to be a setting in the Dissolver which allows me to choose how the attributes are handled and how it chooses from which feature to take the attritubes. How do I dissolve my polygons, taking the attributes from the polygon where “NAME” has the value lowest in the alphabet? I don't know on bef

Hi all,I'm trying to bring object detection capabilities into an FME workflow using YOLO models built with Ultralytics, and I'd love some guidance from anyone who's tackled this before.What I'm trying to do:Run inference with a trained Ultralytics YOLO model (e.g., detection, segmentation, or OBB) inside an FME workspace   Data (e.g., from PythonCaller ) into the model and get bounding boxes / masks / class labels back as FME features Ideally write the results back out as vector features (polygons/points) with attributes for class, confidence score, etc.Specific questions:Has anyone integrated Ultralytics' Python package (pip install ultralytics) directly via FME's PythonCaller transformer? Any gotchas with FME's bundled Python environment vs. installing ultralytics and its dependencies (torch, etc.)? Is it better to run YOLO inference as an external subprocess/script call from FME, or embed the from ultralytics import YOLO calls directly inside a PythonCaller?Sample datasets/models fo

I need to download one or more PDF documents from Sharepoint as part of an export process. These PDF’s have random titles and filenames, in the Sharepoint library an extra column was added containing a unique ID. It’s this ID I have to use in order to download the correct PDF.Problem is that I can get this ID from Sharepoint using the Sharepoint Online List Reader, but that cannot give me the download URL. Conversely I can get the download url from the SharepontOnlineConnector transformer, but that one does not allow me to get the added custom ID.So in order to get all the info I need,  have to use the reader AND the connector and join the results from both together, which is rather ugly.Am I missing something? Is there a way either of these can be configured where I get all the necessary info in one go? Or is this as designed? If the last, I’ll file an Idea I suppose...

Hi everyone,I'm planning an FME deployment and would like to know if it's supported or recommended to place a load balancer between the FME Web Application Server and the FME Core + Engine components.My goal is to improve availability and scalability, but I'm unsure whether this architecture is supported or if there are any limitations or configuration requirements.Has anyone implemented this setup successfully? If so:Is it a supported architecture? Are there any best practices or considerations? Would this effect job execution or communication between the Web Application Server and the Core/Engine?Any guidance or recommendations would be appreciated.Thank you!  

Has anyone been able to mine Oracle redo logs using logminer? I’m beginner to Oracle but it seems to me that it should be possible. I’m trying to create cdc process from Oracle to postgres and I’m able to query insert and update operations sufficiently enough from date fields that tell me when rows are updated or inserted. However, I can’t catch delete operations that way and it would be beneficial to be able to read the redo logs for the actual operations. I know I can query and compare id’s from source and target to detect deleted rows. However, this is time consuming because that would mean querying hundreds of millions of rows for the workflow.If I understood correctly, I need to setup DBMS_LOGMNR package and session for the logminer to be able to query V$LOGMNR_CONTENTS that would hold the transaction information. I guess DBMS_LOGMNR is part of Oracle database? Would that mean that I need Oracle database installed with license to be able to use logminer? The source Oracle database

FME Hub user dmitribagh just uploaded a new template to the FME Hub.This workspace generates a routable indoor wayfinding network from a raster floor plan. Perception tasks are handled by Google Gemini — decluttering area labels, marking office doors, connecting them with orthogonal corridors, and isolating the network to a clean black-and-white raster. All geometry is deterministic FME: door coordinates and office numbers come in as JSON and become vector nodes, while the isolated raster is vectorized, centerlined, extended with DangleExtender, and snapped into a connected network. The output is an office-node layer and a routable network layer, verified here with a ShortestPathFinder wayfinding test.Requires a Google Gemini Web Connection. Tuned on rectilinear office floors; diagonal corridors, open-plan, and double-loaded corridors may need adjustment.Would you like to know more? Click here to find out more details!

There was an update to ArcGIS Online last week 06/2026 that is causing an issue with the number of records you can read using the AGOL reader. It is limited to 400k records. Since the hosted layer that I am reading has way more than 400k it has broken my workbench. Has anyone ran across this yet and is there a workaround I can use since this workflow is essential for updating an enterprise application.
