Hello FME users. Is FME capable of automating other software? I am processing photogrammetry and Lidar with a complicated software that requires a lot of repetitive steps which are more or less the same every time. Thank you!

If you can run other process using CMD line then you can use the System Caller transformer to run the other process in FME, you can also set the order of process with this transformer.

Thanks for the quick reply! So command line only? What about regular Windows menus?
