Hi,

Yes, it is possible but your question is but confusing.

Whether you want the features in 1 shape with different attributes or 2 shape files?

How I would approach this is:

Create an XLS file with the possible options for level, weight, style etc and add a column with SHAPE file name.

Use a Joiner or FeatureMerger to add the SHAPE name attribute to the objects joining on the styling attributes.

The you can either use an AttributeFilter on the SHAPE attribute or a Fanout on the Writer Feature type to write different Shape files. This way you can add a different output by adding a line to the XLS file.

Hope this makes sense.

Yes sir, I want the both feature in one shape file with different attribute based on their level weight style and color.

Thanks

Help me

Thanks, I am new to this. Can't understand how to do.

Hi @chowdharysachin

I agree with @erik_jan - you can create an Excel file or a CSV file with all possible level/style/color/etc. combinations and their corresponding destination attribute values. This file then can be used to find destination attribute value for each feature by matching the feature level/style/color with one of the rows in the file and retrieving the destination attribute value from the row. This approach will give you a lot of flexibility - it will be very easy to add new rows or alter already existing rows.

You can also use AttributeCreator to create the new destination attribute. Please take a look at the attached workspace and AttributeCreator with Conditional Value in it. It is the same idea as suggested by @erik_jan but without an external file. streams.fmw

Hi,

1. Add DGN reader

2. Add AttributeExposer with style attribute exposed (i.e. igds_style or igds_custom_linestyle)

3. Connect to shp writer

4. Connect the requried attributes

BTW this particularly problem is the VERY problem, down to the formats, that FME was originally invented to solve. So @chowdharysachin do let us know if you're still stuck!

Hi @chowdharysachin,

You need to expose the format attribute IGDS_style and use a tester or attribute filter to seperate the styles you want then load them into the single shapefile or simply fanout by IGDS_style if you would like to have one single shapefile by style.

I hope this is what you are looking for, I did a short video to show you the steps Click to view the video here .

Hi, thanks pratap, i have two line feature in level 7, one of color "0" and another in color "1". I want the output in a single shape file which have a fieldnamed 'type'.

Now i use attributeExposer to filter using igds_color. I want that it give output in'type' field 'dry' for feature which have color'0' and ' perennial' for '1'color. Hope you get my point.

One more thing how can i use condition e.g. style is 2 then output in attribute field 'abc' and if style is 3 then the value in same field be 'efg'.

Thanks

Please mail me your email .

Thanks

Hi @chowdharysachin,

Use attribute creator with attribute name as "Type" and use Conditional value option in value. provide the conditions as igds_color=0 then result should be dry and igds_color=1 then result should be perennial. similarly use for style as well as required. my email id is kumarchintadri@gmail.com

Hi @gisinnovations

Thanks for the video. I want the same thing but more elaborate. As you have shown writer had igds_style field and it has values 5 and 0. I want one more field suppose field name is "surface" in char.

Now I want that feature with style 5 should have value in "surface" field to be "unmatelled" and similary feature with 0 style should have value "matelled" in surface field.

Help me over this also.

Thanks

Hi @chowdharysachin very simple, I would just use a transformer that manipulates attributes, perhaps AttributeCreator in your case rename the IGDS_Style to surface and in each attribute you put the default value "unmatelled" or "matelled".
