I am using the free FDO provider in AutoCAD Civil 3D and connecting to a XML document (sample listed below) but when the XML is read in and flattened the OS_TOPO_TOID element is converted to a number rather than remaining a string; how can I get the XML reader to keep the OS_TOPO_TOID as a string?

 

 

 <Row>

 

  <OS_TOPO_TOID>0001000012320820</OS_TOPO_TOID>

 

  <OS_TOPO_VERSION>4</OS_TOPO_VERSION>

 

  <BHA_ProcessDate>2014-02-12</BHA_ProcessDate>

 

  <TileRef>SX99SW</TileRef>

 

  <AbsHMin>69.4</AbsHMin>

 

  <AbsH2>73.7</AbsH2>

 

  <AbsHMax>73.9</AbsHMax>

 

  <RelH2>4.3</RelH2>

 

  <RelHMax>4.5</RelHMax>

 

  <BHA_Conf>99</BHA_Conf>

 

 </Row>
Hi,

 

I dont think you can force the reader, but in your ws you can use the StringFormatter to convert it into string. However this is also not really necessary since FME will convert it into string OS_TOPO_TOID (encoded: utf-16).

Itay,

 

 

As I'm using the free FDO provider I don't have access to the Workbench or any workspaces.

 

 

The problem is that the XML reader is not reading the OS_TOPO_TOID as a string; it would seem to be converting it to a number and stripping off the leading zeros.
