Hey all, I have a point dataset with over a million points. However, I am trying to aggregate them based on their flight number. The thing is some of the points have the same flight number in different counties, so I dont want to use a hullaccumulator because that would take in to account empty areas or areas with other flights present. I have tried transformers like the neighborhood aggregator, I am just unsure how to go about this.I just dont want ArcMap to have to draw over a million points every time I pan to a different area. Any ideas? I have attached an image of what I mean. thanks in advance!

I am new to FME and I love it but I'm stuck on something that I thought should be easy. I want to convert DGN or DWG to Shapefile. I want to produce shapefiles for Point, Line and Polygon. Most importantly I want to retain what we would call attributes in GIS. This is information such as Entity, Level, Layer, Color, Linetype, Elevation per feature. These are visible in ArcGIS if you view as CAD but when I convert using FME workbench these are not carried through. If I look at the CAD in FME inspector I see many attributes but not the ones I need that I can see within ArcGIS. Can anyone help?

I have a set of features in a table that in my example is classed into two types by area - Big and Small. Each feature has a numeric value for the area. In my hypothetical example I need to decide on a sensible number to use to make the decision between small and big area types. I therefore want to choose a value for the area and then check to see how many features below that are correctly classified as Small, how many are correctly classified as Big, and how many are incorrectly classified. I want to be able to loop through a set of values for the area and write out to a table how many are correctly and incorrectly classified for each iteration.I have created a workbench that does exactly what I want it to do for a single value for the area. However, when I attempt to create a loop, nothing seems to be happening inside the loop. I have used statistics calculators to get a count for each classification decision which I believe are blocking transformers and therefore FME cre

I have a few hundred ortho-jpgs, but i want to be able to read only the ones that intersects or are within a polygon.The jpg's are georeferenced and the DWG too and botha re set to the same coordinate system and both show up at the right positions in the inspector when opened individually.This method worked for me using .las point clouds on the same spot, but I cant seem to manage to get the jpg's I want.Is there something wrong with the settings? Thank you in advance,Robin

Hi All,I have an excel file with header-1 names and header-2 names. I have used AttributeSplitter and made list for both like header-1_list and header-2_list for each record. Now I want to aggregate the values like mentioned below...If 1 record in excel containsheader-1_list contains 0,1,2 valuesheader-2_list contains A,B,C,D,E valuesOutput should be 15 records which contains 0-A,0-B,0-C,0-D,0-E,1-A,1-B,1-C,1-D,1-E,2-A,2-B,2-C,2-D,2-E as values.(I have attached sample excel file and my progress work bench to this message for better understanding)Thank you in advancePratap 

How does this get remedied?I rebooted my workstation and still get this message...How do I get going again, please?

My format attributes are exposed from the source up to my destination feature class but these format attributes are not written on my FGDB. I can tell which of these formats have values from my inspector. Should I map these format attributes with an AttributeCreator or AttributManager so that they will be written?

Hi!I want to load a Web Map Service into my workbench with the FeatureReader. It works almost perfectly, but I want to use a bbox as a geographic filter for my WMS. The problem is that you can't insert a bbox in the WMS parameters of the reader. Is there a possibility to specify a bounding box?Best Regards,Felix

Dear all. I completed the configuration of a Directory Watch subscription. I spent time trying to check with the Topic Monitoring without success (i.e. no results on the monitoring page). Searching the community here, I found an answer to a topic where an expert suggested to look the subscription log. I did and I found the service working properly. I know that the important thing is that the subscription is now working but I'm interested to know, if possible, the reason why the monitoring page seems not work properly. TIa Roberto   

I have linear spatial data that consists of types (A, B, C, ... J, K) as well as condition (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). I am tasked with creating a list of total length of each type split by condition, ie Length of A1 = 100m, Length of A2 = 30m, ... Length of K5 = 200m.Is there a way I can create a function that splits the input into condition and then measures it without grouping all the output data? Currently I am splitting the data into types, then splitting each type into condition, then performing measurements, which results in dozens of identical functions being run. It seems that this can be streamlined, but I am somewhat new to FME and I am unsure how to approach this.I'm currently exporting the resulting data into excel, if that helps.Thanks in advance!

When I use a PythonCaller (on build 16673) to set the feature type by callingfeature.setFeatureType('something')it actually doesn't seem to do anything, because when I connect a FeatureTypeFilter transformer to the PythonCaller and filter on 'something', nothing comes out of that port. I discovered that it only works if I do:feature.setAttribute(fmeobjects.kFMEFeatureTypeAttr, 'something')Where kFMEFeatureTypeAttr resolves to the string 'fme_feature_type'. But then what is the point of the setFeatureType() method? Is this method actually not implemented, perhaps?

Hi,A simple question:Is the index range in an FMEObjects FMEAggregate geometry parts list 0-based or 1-based ?The documentation doesn't say anything about this either way.It's for code in a PythonCaller.Cheers Lars I.

Hi,I'm having difficulties with the following problem:I'm having X polygons (with unique ID)(lets assume 1000 polygons) and Y points inside those polygons. First I do colorsetter so see which polygons are disconnected. So I have X polygons with an attribute _color (with 5 different possible values). Then I use spatial overlay to know which points are inside a certain polygon and in the end I'm using a statistics calculator to count the amount of points inside the polygon. As end result I have X polygons with as attributes: unique ID, _color and count of points.Now I want to split these X polygons into Z groups (public parameter, let's assume 10), but in a way that these 10 groups contain sort or less the same amount of points.Does anyone has some ideas to group them on an average? I don't mind the amount of polygons in a group. ex group 1 can contain only 1 polygon (as it contains a lot of points) while rest of the group can contain 11

Hey guys I am trying to figure out how to clean up some data before using the google geocoder transformer. Is there anyway to drop text from my address column that is messing up the geocoder, i.e. apt or suite number?I was thinking some kind of string splitter or something, but not sure. I have attached a screengrab below, thanks!

Hi!As the topic tells, I'm wondering if it's possible to write dgn file with xattributes?I have dgn file with building information in it as xattributes. Im trying to write it through fme back to dgn file with all the same features.Just to see if its possible. And there is some projects where it might make my working bit faster.Regards,Aki

Hi, I'm trying to use a featureReader to read a spatial table, however I need to link to a non-spatial table in the same connection to complete some filtering within the where clause. However it seems that the featureReader only allows either/or rather than both types. The reason for using the featureReader is i'm told its quicker.My question is can you use the featureReader with spatial and non spatial tables (oracle) within one? if not what would be the best way to accomplish this?

Hi,  I use the readerprompt widget [1] and pass all parameters to my reader using RUNTIME_MACROS (as described in the link).

Hi,is it possible to define the reader attribute names via commandline or via an external file?I have excelsheets where the column name is different e.g. somtimes they are called FMEA, von_km etc. The excel sheet is uploaded by users on a website. On the website they specify the worksheetname and the column name how they are called in their excel file. An other problem is that the they are not always in the same collumn position. Thank you for your help.

Hi all,  I'm very new to FME (today), but am trying to learn some bits and pieces. I followed the webinar on this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoKIRD1RQ88)and managed to get it working well.  I'm trying to set up a very similar situation, with the exception being the webservice is soap-based. I have the XML template I used to check the webservice is returning results (through SoapUI), but I just don't know how to incorporate this into FME. I have tried using the SOAPSender, but I can't download it from the FME Store. I have downloaded the one at this link (http://fmestore.safe.com/transformers/SOAPSender.htm), but it's a little beyond my basic knowledge.  I've had a good look around but can't find much on this topic, is anyone able to guide me in the r

Is there some kind of FME workbench checker? Just to be sure that the workbench comply to adjustable best practices? like if there are  - some bookmarks - some annotations - hide unused attributes - no single input ports ..... (What else? some lists about best practices?)   

How can i make fme to close all idle fme.exe that are still in memory after workspacerunner is done?Actually these fme.exe processes are idle also during workspacerunner. I don't know why fme keeps ignoring them but i would prefer to have them closed if they are not necessary (3 out of 8 fme.exe are actually working. the rest are 0% CPU / 0.3mb used and the PID is the same all the time)

I have to 'morf' estimated line-fragments between endpoints in a network. I know where the endpoints have to go, so making control-vertices and feeding those to the rubbersheeter exactly does the trick if I feed it one feature.Feeding it a whole lot of features and controlvertices makes a mess, as a lot of network-repairs are spatially grouped. With many FME transformers the group by (a unique identifier) solves such problems, but the rubbersheeter (and the AffineWarper) don't have this.Calculating the values for a scaler, ofsetter and rotator (= affiner) is quite a hassle giving the things I 'know' at the desired point in the workflow, while the rubbersheeter does this in a natural, smooth way.Does anyone have a neat solution for getting the effect of a group-by option in a RubberSheeter?Kind regards,Martin
