How to convert autocad color to RGB (Integer)

I want to have RGB color out put from Autodesk DWG file. After exposing fme_color attribute the output contains different value. e.g. AutoCAD Color Index(ACI) value 92 and after reading it in FME I get value of (0,0.65,0) . If you look in AutoCAD the value should be (0,165,0)

Extracting values from XML - a little different from most others

Yes - another XML question - however - taking the XML below - how do I extract the values just from the 'details_view' - i.e. I want the 'USER' data. I tried the flattening which could work, but I don't know how to differentiate between the two 'views'.  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?><file>      <views>        <view type="summary_view">          <nodes>            <node>              <properties>                <property type="field_name">DATE_CREATED</property>                <property type="field_data" year="2019" month="3" day="12" hour="11" minute="21" second="52" millisecond="938" offsetMinutes="0" normalized="True">2019-03-12T11:21:52.938+00:00</property>              </properties>            </node>          </nodes>        </view>        <view type="details_view">          <nodes>            <node>              <properties>                &l

ArcGIS Online AGOL - reading and writing Attachments to local gdb

Can't find a clear answer on this - is there a way to read from AGOL and write all data including attachments to a local gdb? I found the bit about the dropdown to include attachment and expose as an attribute but this isn't really helping. Does anyone have guidance or a workbench they can send that brings this data through with the actual image or file attachments on the feature itself as it appears in AGOL?Thanks!

DGNStyler Cell Library

Hi, I would like to use a .dgnlib file in the DGNStyler when specifying the 'Cell Library File' but when I do this the translation fails. Does DGNStyler only work with the .cel files for the Cell Libararies? Is there any way to use a .dgnlib instead?Thanks,

Copy Geodatabase Attachments

Hi, I'm struggling with processing Geodatabase Attachments. My workflow takes polygon features with attachments, test for an attribute and then converts them to points. Pretty simple. However, keeping the attachments isn't working. I know there are other help examples using attachments but I'm not able to get this to work. My workflow and sample data is attached. If someone could please take a look and let me know what I'm missing?

Error running translation - SDE (Oracle) version writer

I am new to FME (my first post!). So, I am just playing around trying to learn the software a little (we are planning on using it to load a large amount of CAD data into GIS). I am using FME 2018.1 to write (insert) into one versioned feature class within a 10.2 esri SDE in Oracle. Everything looks fine when I look at the version in ArcMap. But I am getting an error at the end of the process.A BADNEWS error shows up in debug logging -- similar to the one in this post :https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/76727/error-running-translation-after-what-appears-to-be.html I am using FME 2018.1 32 bit on win 7 Suggestions?

Write to Attributes in dgnv7

Hi,  I have a dwg file with layer names, is it possible to include this layernames as an attribute in a dgnv7 fiel?  It is not possible to keep the layer names as a string in dgnv7, it needs to be a number. So now I try to include it as an attribute. It seams to be possible with tags in the dgnv8 format, but that is not supported in dgnv7.  Anyone knows about this?   Best/ Johan

FME writing strings as utf-16 in File gdb

I am trying to write to a file geodatabase and I need the strings stored as 8 bit characters. When I write to the gdb they being written as utf-16. I have tried using the attribute encoder to set the encoding to utf-8 but it still get written as utf-16. I am using a feature writer with the DEFAULTS keyword which should store text as utf-8 according to the documentation. Is there a way to enforce that text data be written as UTF8.Thanks

few questions about the osgb file

HelloI've been working with osgb file for a while, we were using arcgis pro and the build-in fme , back then when 2.0/2.1 it was fine. Now come to 2.2 even 2.3 beta it just stop giving out the right result.Even switch to a full fme workbench the problem still exists.We are sure that the osgb file is intact and we understand that it may be more of an arcgis problem then an fme problem.We've tried to convert the osgb file to slpk, to geodatabase and to obj all failed.For slpk, it does generate an output file but can't be open or showed in neither arcgis pro nor online portal.By the way, if we use arcgis's gp tools for slpk, it crashed.  For geodatabase, there is a certain problem.We all know that a full osgb file contains many tiles and each tile contains many layers. The fme dose recognize all tiles but it automatically choose and only choose the first layer to transform. In the result we have a very blur and not-LOD model that cannot be used at all.
