I am using a dynamic writer to generate shapefiles. It is almost working fine except the geometries (Points, Lines and Polygons) are always generated with Z and M... even if the input (also over a dynamic reader) has no Z and M.

Any Idea how to solve this problem?? (Using FME Desktop 2015.0 Build 15253)

Hi @lorans9, in FME 2015, you can set the Shape File Type parameter when adding the writer to the workspace.

I had a problem with shapefiles being ZM and not being able to copy features to a PostGIS layer in QGIS. 2DForcer and MeasureRemover solved my problem.

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?
