Question

Auto-creating a bounding box for GDB readers

Other than manually specifying coordinates to define a GDB reader's bounding box within workbench, is there a way to use (for example) a polygon to define the bounding box prior to reading so that a workspace can do this automatically and dynamically? I have project areas all across Christchurch, NZ and being able to do this would be very helpful in only reading in select portions of a massive city-wide dataset.

Thanks,

Chris

You could just read the project areas and then use those as triggers for a FeatureReader to read the data from the GDB using the project areas as areas of interest. Doing this will allow you to read only the features you need from the GDB.
