Writing Multi line Strings using FME Writer

We are using FME to export some graphic geometry objects to microstation format. We are successful in writing simple text elements(single line text) using "igds_type = igds_text". But we have some multi text elements to be exported which we could not write using "igds_type = igds_text". Since this requires to build a complex element with a group of text strings under a text node, we thought we can do it using igds_multi_text type. So, we wrote the following code in VB.  Dim fmeFeatureObj As FMEOFeature    fmeFeatureObj.geometryType = FME_GEOM_POINT    fmeFeatureObj.attribute("igds_type") = "igds_multi_text"    fmeFeatureObj.attribute("igds_text_elements{0}.igds_text_string") = "Line1"  fmeFeatureObj.attribute("igds_text_elements{1}.igds_text_string") = "Line2"    //{comment: Set other attributes like size, font, rotation, justification for the "igds_text_elements{0}" and "igds_text_elemen

How do I fix "plugins/udatasmith_fme.dll' was found but could not be loaded" or "XINPUT1_3.dll is missing" error when using the UDATASMITH Writer?

How can we fix an error like:plugins/udatasmith_fme.dll' was found but could not be loaded. Ensure that all the dependent modules exist for this libraryI already know the answer, but I wanted to share it with all of you good folks in case it's a problem for you too!Quick fix: Install Unreal Studio (https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/studio) or install DirectX SDK from https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=6812 The Details:Most likely your computer already has the necessary DirectX components, either from an Unreal Studio installation or from another application. However, there are some cases where these components may be missing. For example, you are likely to encounter this issue when running a Windows Virtual Machine.In any of these cases, you can install the necessary XINPUT1_3.dll by installing Unreal Studio or the DirectX SDK from the link given above. A bit of trivia: XINPUT1_3.dll is used for getting mouse input in DirectX-based games.

Getting attributes from a XML description extracted from a KML

Hello everyone. I know there are several questions posted about this same topic but I can't seem to get things working for my particular KML/XML description. I used this tutorial to get most of the way there: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/19918/how-to-expose-feature-attributes-from-kml-tag.htmlI posted there in a comment but I figured I'd start a new question since this is more specific.I'm stuck on getting either the XQuery or the XML flattener to work. When I convert the description to XML, this is how it is formatted:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head>  <title></title> </head><body>  <b>V18279201018990_000.jpg</b><br />  <i>Latitude:</i> 37.424416°<br />  <i>Longitude:</i> -82.930091°<br />  <i&g

Microstation graphic group in cells not showing correct value.

Hello everyone.I have run into a problem while validating dgn data. I need to check for elements that have specified graphic group, however I have run into a problem where cells seem to show igds_graphic_group = 0 even though in my editing software I see that it has graphic group set to non-zero value.I have tested this in FME 2016.0, 2017.0, 2017.1.Bellow is a snippet of one file I am working with (there are many more, over 8000) where I have encountered this problem.  This is what I see in my editing software (MGEO, which is local version of microstation)No matter if I expand named cells, or keep just insert points of the cell, I always get igds_graphic_group = 0. Lines work just fine, there I get graphic group I see in my editing software.  Any help is really welcome.Thanks,Radek

Feature Writer error to PostGIS

I have an issue writing a particular feature class to a new PostGIS table. The exact same process works fine in our development environment, but not in the production. I have other features with exactly the same schema that work fine in production. I can't fathom how there would be an error connecting to the database when this isn't an issue during the same process but for another set of similar data. This is the error message I'm getting:Bulk copy failed on table '98ac753a-3b34-4aa4-8971-8cbe9c7b09c2.GDY_C_020M_DOWNLOAD_AREA' using delimiter ':'. Error was 'Error connecting to database'A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsA fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsFeatureWriter_24(WriterFactory): A fatal error has occurred.
