Hi everybody,

Is it possible to fix the maximum file size in output ?

I want to convert LAS data in DWG, but DWG in output is too large. Instead of one large file of 2 GB, I would like multiple files of 200 Mo (for example).

 

Tnak you in advance 🙂

Hi @m.goos​, I'm not sure if there's a way to split your output by file size, but you can split your output based on attributes instead by setting up fanout in your workspace. There are two kinds in FME: dataset fanout or feature type fanout. I hope this helps you get started!
