Data

I'm pretty new to FME and could really use some help on this. I am reading OBJ files and writing DWG files. I need to expose two "traits" in the source OBJ to re-use them in the target DWG. But I'm unclear how to access the traits.What I found so far... The two traits in the OBJ file belong to Geometry Type: IFMEMesh. The traits are GeometryTrait(string): 'obj_group' and 'obj_object'.My goal is to read the obj_group to write autocad_layer_name - and read the obj_object to write autocad_block_name. Guidance on accessing the traits will be greatly appreciated! And here's an example OBJ file:

Folks,This may or may not be an FME question so anyone with AutoCAD skills may be able to point me in the right direction.I'm writing Mapinfo to AutoCAD and one of the objects is a polyline. The specified requirement is to set he polyline Format Attribute start_autocad_width and end_autocad_width to a value of 0.25.I have achieved this.However the result in cad is poor. Some polylines show with a width, some polylines show some segments with width. Upon inspection the Autocad object property "Global width" is null. If this is set to 0.25 the issues noted above are resolved.However the "global_autocad_width" is not an available format attribute.I did read this may be a DWG template drawing variable PLINEWID but setting this has zero effect. Any thoughts?

Hi all,I have read that the Excel writer supports colors for font and background.What I can not find is how.I have this scenario:Based on the value of an attribute ("Yes" or "No") I want to color the font (or background) black (if "Yes") and red (if "No").I would use the Conditional Values in the AttributeCreator, but can not find what to set for the color.Is this possible, and if Yes how.Any help is appreciated.Erik Jan

I want my workbench to automatically create a value in an attribute table depending on the type of polygon it is. For example, if the value in autocad_layer is KVARTERSM_CENTRUM, I want it to automatically classify the attribute as "KC".I have multiple attributes I want to automatically classify. The problem is that when I'm searching for transformers and choosing a layer, only "autocad_layer" is available. Reader must be based on single merged feature type. I attach an image with my workbench. The first choice I made is that I chose the reader dwg and single merger feature type. I will add an image with my choices in parameters. I also have added "autocad_layer" in the "feature attributes"In areabuilder have chosen to use "autocad_layer" in the "group by" option. The rest I have not made any choices in. Then I create writer OGC geopackage and select "feature option: insert", "table action: create if needed&

am learning FME Workbench/ Data Inspector etc. But exactly I have a question, which I could use some help. My question is: I am working with a GML file. It has uploaded in FME Data Inspector. From this file, which includes BRepSolid 3D objects, I would like to get the exact heights (as an feature). Than I want to save this data as a shapefile/geojson or something which I can than use in Qgis. Untill now I have not had any succes. Can you give me some tips or links to tutorial(s) to learn this? Topics: heights / .gml file / into writer (for example shapefile)

Anyone have some tips working with FME moving detailed buildingdata to and from 3D Studio Max?https://www.autodesk.com/products/3ds-max/overview

Is there a reader for PDF documents?  I would like to be able to use FME to batch convert a number of PDF documents into another image format, like JPEG, so that I can georeference the content.

Hi GuysI am looking for a workflow to Create SHP file attributes from an excel spreadsheet. The problem I am having, is I can only see a way to extract column headings as Attributes. How do I take attribute titles from the cells below the column heading. I hope that makes sense....Basically, I have an Excel document with Standard Asset data that needs to be included in our SHP files according to discipline. So I have used FME to Test for "Subclass" & "Item_Name", which works great, then I want to extract that list in the "Attribute_name" column to SHP attributes.ThanksMartin

Hello,  I'm using the Writer "Adobe Geospatil PDF" and I want to generate the Feature Type Name by using @Value(fme_basename).  The result (filename) is "@Value(fme_basename).pdf". Any idea? Thank you very much!Bernhard

Trying to read an ArcGIS Server (10.3) map service. There doesn't appear to be a a dedicated reader for this, unlike the ArcGIS Server feature services. Have also tried the WMS reader, with no luck. I want to ultimately write the output to a file geodatabase. How have other people achieved this work flow?

I get this error for only this scheduler job. All other jobs fine. Insufficient memory available -- error code was 2 - please read the FME Help section 'Adjusting Memory Resources' for workarounds.Nothing much to clean up in /temp folder. How can I make this job run?

I'm running Workbench 2016 - 32 bit on Citrix XenApp v 6.5. and use quick translator to export Smallworld 5.1 data to .dgn format. How do I configure the port in my .fmw file to use the port assigned to my Smallworld session.

I have a number of 16bit RGB raster images which need to be converted to ECW format. The images are displayed perfectly in ArcGIS and have the following attributes.rows and columns: 1506, 2051 No Bands: 3 Format: TIFF Pixel depth: 16 Bit Compression LZWWhen I load the Tiff in FME 2017 and inspect it, it is rendered black with the following information:rows and columns: 959, 250 BAND 0 (Gray 16) BAND 1 (UINT 16) BAND 2 (UINT16)My translation to ecw fails due to "Unsupported band interpretation 'GRAY16'". How can I resolve this?

Hi,I am trying to update a field value of a ESRI filegeodb table (v10.2.1).I have a table called 'Test' with several columns.For example the table contains 100 records with some voltage value ranging from 1 - 100I want to update these record's 'classification' field depends on my filter condition.I would like to read this filegeoDB and filtering the records and trying to update the same database table's classification field (not the entire row) with matching column.If its an oracle DB i can do this either by using DBUpdater or SQLExecute.Any clue or hints will be much appreciated...Thanks,Mari...

I am using the DateTimeConverter in a workbench to convert date and time from an Oracle database to an ArcGIS Online feature service. The autodetect feature works in the workbench and the translation is successful. However, when I upload the workbench to the server, the DateTimeConverter is unable to autodetect the date/time value from the input and the translation fails. Has anyone faced and resolved this situation?

I have an attribute called text_lined_data that contains 6 data columns. How do i extract that information into 6 columns and line one as header?

I'm having a bit of an issue with text fields being truncated, and I can't figure out why...The fields are all text fields of varying length, with writer definitions copied from reader, and for some reason they all come to the writer truncated to 4 or 5 character's length?!This is how the read attribute info looks (reader is GDMMAPPERQUADRI):...and here's the writer (Writer is GEODATABASE_FILE):Note now the attribute LEDNINGSNETTVERKSTYPE is changed from length 13 to length 5. This behaviour seems consistent for most attributes, but not all (like OBJTYPE in the example).I tested a different writer, just to see (ESRI Shape) and it's the same there, also doesn't matter if I port directly from reader to writer or if I mess round with the data inbetween. Is it the reader that "sends the wrong signals", despite the correct attribute definitions being listed?

I have an FFS file (created from a v7 DGN). This file has an attribute named "multi_writer_id" that contains the FFS file name. I can see this attribute in the data inspector but am unable to expose it with the AttributeExposer. I want to fan out the writer according to this attribute but because it cannot find the attribute, the result is a file named "NULL".Any insight into what's happening?
