Hey,
There is one blog on support.safe.com on working with esri shapefile data. There is a scenario and below explained the workspace attached to it.
I am not getting how the Shapefile is created in below scenario. The shapefile was already given in the template file.
Below is the link of the article - https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407430413837-Tutorial-Getting-Started-with-FME-Desktop
How the esri shapefile used in the reader is created?
Thanks in advance
There are multiple ways to create Esri Shapefile. The most common ways are using ESRI software like ArcPro or ArcMap to create the shapefile. But there are tons of software that can export spatial data out into Shapefile format including FME.
So, it’s hard to say, how they created this shapefile. Hope this helps
Hey
The ESRI Shapefile used in that article is part of the provided data package and was not created from a CSV file. It contains polygons representing various water service areas. The shapefile is used to overlay customer addresses and determine which ones fall within the affected areas during a water shutoff, allowing the utility company to notify impacted customers.
If you’re looking for knowledge articles on converting CSV files to ESRI Shapefiles, you can check out the following resources:
We also have a series of Getting Started with FME Form tutorials for specific data types, which you can explore here:
Let me know if you have any questions!
