I just learned that you can copy & paste Conditional Values from one transformer to another without having to open the "Parameter Condition Definition" windows each time. My question is: When pasting a Conditional Value, you have to select "Paste Conditional", if you select "Paste" it will paste a text equation that fails. I assume this behavior is a bug, can someone confirm this? This is better described in the second observation noted below.The screenshots below show how this works from AttributeCreator to AttributeManager. Observations I had which might be helpful to others are:When copying/pasting you need to select the text first (e.g. "3 Possible Values", not simply the Cell. (Right clicking the cell gives you options to Cut/Copy/Paste/Duplicate the row.) When pasting I noticed that you have to select "Paste Conditional", if you select "Paste" it will paste a text equation and refresh to appear like all is well (

Hello there,i want to mark some points which are already placed at each corner of the building polygons in a DGN(MicroStation) file,i want to mark points which exist within 10m buffer from the road, and also points which at the road facing side of the building not at the back side of the building polygons,when i tried using the buffer it covered all the points including the backside points, if buffer reduced some building points got missedseen the image, the intention is to mark only the blue circled pointslooking for some suggestion, ideas are most welcome thanks. 

I’ve a Microstation DGN file where Building as polygons and each corner of the building polygons have a point, those points have some attributes in the form of MicroStation TAG, i want to check the TAG attribute of the points.Each point will have many attributes like building no, street name, etcif any point in the Building with TAG value ES=1 then the trailing point and successor point must be either ES=1 or ES=6in the below image red point are ES=1 and the orange points are ES=6i want to check the validate this caseany ideas most welcomethanks in advance 

It’s about this error message "No Module named GeoEncoder", how can I solve this error?  

I’m trying to identify the vertex/vertices in a 3D dataset which are at the zmin.The task is very easy but I’m trying to figure out the fastest/cleanest way to do this. The dataset could be quite big and the geometry could be any type (not point cloud or raster).  

Hi,I need your help.I would like to read the data from an excel file that change every week.  Moreover the excelfile have a different name every week.I would like to try to automate the process and as an input i would like to have the directory instead of the file. How can I do that? Thank you for your answer.Pauline

Hi all,I just wanted to get an idea on how others are working with FME when it comes to inspection.I have FME configured to always open up the FME Data Inspector rather that the Visual Preview in Workbench. Mostly I do this because I like to have a larger window and I’m used to it from the pre visual inspection days.Am I missing out? Any tips on using the Visual Preview? I’m interested to hear from other on how they handle inspection 

Hello , I would like to read all versions name without selecting them in feature reader arcsde esri i need to let feature reader to show me the data from all versions from users ,to know which data that users are currently  working on  .could someone advice me ?thanks in advance 

We have hundreds of mappings we execute via command line.  We have implemented standards regarding the use of source, destination, and logging user parms.We started our 2024 migration and found a bug while trying to pass in our --LOG_FILE parm from the cmnd line (fme ...fmw --LOG_FILE xxx).The workspace will not execute and throws this error:ERROR : Unable to open log file `X:\...\FME\X_\...\Log\mapping_name.log'ERROR : The preceding error has occurred during FME logfile setupFor some reason, in 2024 it is always prefixing the log location with the location of the fme workspace.The only workaround I found to get the log file to write in our desired location was to eliminate the --LOG_FILE parm and use LOG_FILENAME instead.I have opened a ticket with Safe and have not heard anything back.  Having to modify hundreds of workspace executions is a show stopper. 

I have a unique problem. I have a set of polygons which take the shape of numbers. In the example below, the number 1875 has been extracted from a raster. As it sits, the 4 numbers are separated but could easily be aggregated. I’m looking for a way to convert this value ‘1875’ to an integer attribute.I can’t think of a way apart from some kind of AI solution, but thought I’d ask the collective to see if anyone has any thoughts?  

I want to convert a tiff to TINrelief in citygml. Is there a fmw workbench file or step by step guide for this? I’M a complete begineer to fme and citygml format.

I have an AGOL text field with a limit of 1000, but the reader appears to be cutting off the fields at 255 characters. It appears to be happening in the reader directly, not later on in the translations. Any workarounds on this other than just adding an additional text field, or is this a known issue of the AGOL Connector?

Hi,I have a parameter that I have set in an FME Server/Flow app that is conditional on another parameter. I.e. The first is set by the user in an app. If there is a certain value, then it would require you two set a secondary variable.I used to have this set as a simple ‘dropdown’ choice, which then would require a simple text input (if needed). I tried to change the original parameter to a ‘choice list’ instead, to make it easier to follow, but this is causing me issues.When I preview how this looks in FME Form it works exactly how I want to. Though when I try to on Flow it doesn’t show/require the secondary parameter. Is this a bug? Or something I can fix? I am constrained to version 2023.2.1.0 (23774) for at least the foreseeable futureAny advice would be appreciated, I can’t seem to get it to work no matter what I try

Hi,when writing using a dynamic Excel Writer (in my case there are no columns defined at design time - see attached screenshot), the font settings get lost in the output file and also in the Feature Type Writer itselfs when I double-check it.Has anyone solved this issue?Thanks! 

 Hello Forum, I’ve set up a simple workspace to convert a csv with eastings and northings (EPSG:27700) to a csv with long lat (EPSG:4326). This is working OK. The workspace is something I’m going to use quite often, so I’m keen to automate it as much as possible. Is it possible to automatically make the ‘CSV File Name’ value in in the FeatureWriter (Parameters tab) the same as the input csv name. For example, if my input csv is called ‘Properties030225.csv’, then when this reaches the FeatureWriter the default ‘CSV File Name’ value in in the FeatureWriter (Parameters tab) is ‘Reprojected’. Instead, I would want that default csv file name to be the name of the input .csv. In this case, Properties030225.csv. Yes, of course, I could type in Properties030225.csv in, but I don’t want to do that every time. Instead, I want it to automatically pick up on the input file name. How can I do this? Thanks,Stuart

How to convert the neatest distances in neighbour finder to individual lines?

Hi there,I recently installed ArcPro 3.2 on my machine with the data interoperability extension. Looking under the hood, the data interoperability extension uses this FME version, FME(R) 2022.2.1.0 (20221202 - Build 22776 - WIN64). When I use the WorkspaceRunner transformer to run a simple workspace (read a text file and view in inspector), the transformer fails to read the published parameter, is says "Specified workspace has no parameters or could not be read". If you run the workspace using the workspacerunner, it gives you an error, "2023-08-03 14:20:14|  2.3| 0.0|ERROR |WorkspaceRunner_ExecutorAndRouter (TestFactory): An error was encountered evaluating a TestFactory test: An error occurred while evaluating a test parameter: @Tcl2 -- failed to evaluate expression `WorkspaceRunner_df4bad67_c886_4b16_8145_a18050c02ff01_runner {} {F:\\ETL\\TEST\\Workbench\\TESTING/workspace1.fmw}' -- unexpected token "END" at position 0; expecting VALUE". Is this an

Hi everyone,I have a question about the Reprojector. In the reprojector in FME Form, my desired coordintion systems are available:  But when I publish it to FME Flow, some of the coordinate systems are not available to select from: Could you please help me to solve the problem? Thanks!

I use FME Form in different environments for different purposes - on my local workstation (laptop) and also on our virtual desktop environment (VDI, Citrix, headed toward AVD). It was difficult to work across two distinct environments, first with workspaces, but further related to web and database connections.We have OneDrive on both, and while it may not be supported or advisable (but I’m interested to hear from Safe and/or from the community on this point), I have had no (known) complications due to using that for my workspaces and connections. If OneDrive is chatty, or you are concerned about locks or other issues, syncing can always be paused while working within Form.To get the connections working, in Form, I go to Tools, FME Options, Default Paths, and then update the Connection Storage with Database Accessibility: Shared, and set the Database Folder and Shared Key Folder to a location in my OneDrive folder structure. I did this in both environments. If there’s a better way to do

Hi,I need to set log file path as a parameter. So I ‘ve added User parameter LogFile and linked it to log file inNavigator-Workspace Parameters-LoggingI’m running my workflow as follows:"C:\Program Files\FME2\fme.exe" C:\FME\mz\WybranaSiecPomDgn2k.fmw --LogFile "c:\Folder1\File.log"The problem is, that “c:\Folder1” folder does not exists, and the following error appears:“Unable to open log file `c:\Folder\File.log'. The preceding error has occurred during FME logfile setupProgram Terminating”I was trying to create “c:\Folder1” folder using Scripting-Startup Python Script, but it doesn’t help, probably because FME tries to create log file before Python script execution.

I have a user parameter that I use when writing out the file in Form ("$(ProjectID) Report.xlsx"). This works as I want when running in Form, but not when I publish it to Flow. The parameter doesn’t get set a part of the filename (_Report.xlsx).Any ideas what I need to do differently to get the same filename in Flow that I get in Form?

I have a closed polygon dataset that I need to add angle labels to the internal angle.I just wanted to see if anyone has done a similar thing or has some advice on the best way.I am using the “VertexAngleCalculator” transformer which gives me the results for the actual angles but need to figure out the before and after lines to the calculate the position and angle of the label so it is just offset from the vertex and angled midway between the before and after lines towards the interior of the polygon. 

Does anyone have (or know where I can find) the workspace and sample data for the Travelling Salesman blog post from 2016 (or later)?https://fme.safe.com/blog/2016/11/fmeevangelist158/ ThanksDavid
