Blogger Tiana Warner just posted a new article to the FME Blog.Title: 8 ways to automate your data with FME FlowSummary: What is FME Flow and what can it do? Let's explore its powerful capabilities, like scalable automations, web apps, application integration, and more.Introduction: FME Flow is the piece of the FME Platform that allows you to automate the workspaces you create in FME Form, allowing you to perform data integration, transformation, and validation at scale. Instead of requiring manual execution of each workspace, FME Flow was designed to run workflows automatically based on predefined instructions, such as on a schedule, in response to an event, or continuously as real-time data arrives.Would you like to know more?

FME Hub user daveatsafe just uploaded a new format to the FME Hub.FME can read tiles from an ArcGIS Online Vector Tile dataset.Vector Tiles are often used a basemap to provide geographical context to a user's data. They have minimal attribution and often have smaller file sizes than the equivalent raster tiles.Tile sets often feature tiles of different sizes in order to equalize the amount of data in each tile. This reader can read the tile Index boundaries, the tile contents, or both.If the tile set is very large, we recommend using a search envelope.Would you like to know more?

FME Hub user pierrekoelich just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub.DGN Linear Dimension DrawerThis custom transformer contains the framework to draw linear DGN dimensions when fed linear features(lines, polygons). This transformer will break the features into its constituent lines, and draw dimensions for each line. It has user parameters with presets to help make drawing the dimensions more visually appealing, these include: text alignment, text justification, arrow style, and offsetting the witness lines.Limitations:A major limitation of this custom transformer is that the user does not have control over where the dimension line gets drawn. It will be along the line that its measuring but which side the dimension line itself will be drawn on seems to be random.As the name suggests, this transformer cannot handle arc dimensions at all, a workflow to draw arc dimensions would be too different to incorporate into this one.Only 3 fonts are available, I recommend using the true typ

Blogger Tiana Warner just posted a new article to the FME Blog.Title: 4 methods for tracking data changes in FMESummary: Learn how to track data changes in FME using four powerful methods, including timestamps, database triggers, and change data capture (CDC).Introduction: When managing data, understanding how and why it changes is critical. By detecting changes early and accurately, you can streamline workflows, eliminate tedious manual checks, and focus on the records that matter. Automated change detection allows you to handle large datasets efficiently by processing only updated records, improve real-time responsiveness by reacting immediately to new changes, minimize data movement to reduce API calls and cloud storage costs, and align with enterprise-level data practices by tapping into existing change capture systems.Would you like to know more?
