Question

Shapefile Attributes not being kept when converted into .SDF? When I use FME to convert shapefile into .sdf, it finished converting but when I look at the .sdf file there are no attributes/values in the table. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi @gis_dev, first of all, make sure that the User Attributes in the SDF writer feature type are configured properly and also the feature attributes read from the source Shapefile dataset were mapped to the destination attributes correctly.

It would help us to understand your situation correctly if you could post a screenshot illustrating the configuration of the SDF writer feature type (general parameters and user attributes).

Hello, bellow is the screenshot. I'm trying to convert shapefile to SDF so I can load it in MapGuide, but as mentioned before when in MapGuide I look at the data, the values and attribute column is not in there.
