Hi all,

I am wondering can FME find a way to list all feature classes used in my ArcGIS Pro map file?

 

If not can it do it with ArcGIS Desktop files i.e. .mxd?

 

I am struggling to find a way to do this without possibly Python

Hi @cardiofaz​ 

ArcGIS Pro map files appear to be JSON-based (you can verify this by opening a .mapx file in a text editor). If this is the case, then you can try to use a JSON reader. Alternatively, you can also read the .mapx as a text file and use JSON transformers to extract the data you want. Here are some good resources for working with JSON in FME.

I hope this information helps!
