How to convert/transform a ArcGIS 10.0 Geodatabase (*.adf) Esri ArcGIS Binary Grid to a SHAPE File including feature types?  1. I open an ArcGIS 10.0 Geodatabase (*.adf) Esri ArcGIS Binary Grid (AIG). 2. With Inspector I can analyse the Grids. It says: Raster Point Info: Cell Value (INT16): 653 Row and Column: 3028, 7828 Ground Location: 675689.057708 3. What I need is the Cell Value as a feature type for a Shape-File.  Does anybody know how to do that?  What I want is the SHAPE with POLYGON-Grids with the Cell Value (INT16): 653 as a feature type.  Is that so difficult?  Many thanks for any hint!!!  Best wishes, Timo

Hello,   Sorry about the long subject.   I have an issue where SOME workbenches published to FME Server, the data is being written to the ...FMEServer\\Server\\repository directory instead of a file server (via UNC path).   Sometimes when go to run the workbench via the fmejobsubmitter web page, the parameters only have the last folder name not the UNC prefix I.E. the path should be \\\\fileserver\\folder1\\folder name2\\folder3\\data.csv on the web page it is folder3\\data.csv. I enter the full path with the quotes and run the job. The data ends up in repository\\folder3.   After the job has completed, I look at the log file and it has the correct and complete destination path.   Any solutions other than upgrading to 2013?   Cheers,  

Hello  I create a Tiff/GeoTiff in FME and then visualize it ArcMap. I build pyramids and use "bilinear resampling" in ArcMap and I get a quite bad display quality.  If I read the same image into irfanview and save it (with nothing changed) and then use this Tiff in ArcMap the display quality is much better (smooth lines, better text readability,...).  A colleague, which is quite an expert in raster, analysed both files and couldn't tell any difference except for the internal block size used.  Is there any idea what is hitting me here ? What does FME bad with the raster so that ArcMap cannot display it with good quality ?  This behaviour seems to be independent of the resolution.  Thanks for any helpful idea Michael

Good morning.  My name is Ramón Castro, from the University of Vigo and I am a new user of FME sowtware too.   I am looking for the way to transform a .dxf to CityGML.  I am not sure about what transformers I have to use.  Anyone could help me??  thnak you very much

I'm reading a file which is delimited by a space using the csv reader, some of the fields are enclosed in quotes (although this doesn't appear to be related to what type of data they contain).  If i read the file with the parameter strip quotes from fields set to no and then rewrite the file with quote output values set to no i get an error that a string value could not be converted to a float.  Any ideas on how to read this file and write it out again in the same format?

Hi, is there a way to create use workbench to analyze and list the readers and writters from other work spaces?  Thanks for the help.  I hope all is well Merry Christmas to all

I   made an  affine  transformation on my dwg file .  in fme Data Inspector 2013 the transformed result is good .but When I opened  the  resulting  dwg file in  AutoCAD  2008,  I found  the  text  position  remained unchanged  , only  others  like  point ,line ect   is at the  correct  location. why ?  Can  any  one  help  me ? thanks  in  advance.

I have an Oracle table with two geometry fields, POLYGON_GEOMETRY and CENTROID_GEOMETRY. I want to copy the table to a new Oracle Spatial database but I have to specify one or the other geometry column names in the reader. How can I copy both geometry fields to the new table?  Thanks

Is there a simple way to add cross hatching to an output TIF file?  Looking to see where it can be styled in advance of the Writer Output... something similar to a MapInfo Styler, etc, would be good but can't seem to find an equivalent. Thanks!

How would I execute a workbench from a Silverlight Viewer on the ArcGIS Server side? I want to have a button that pops up a form with a few user parameters. Then those parameters are passed to FME desktop or Server. (Either one). Then the server executes the process with the parameters.   If someone could explain how to do that it would be awesome!    Thank you so much!

All,  I've got a sql view that  joins SQL 2 tables together, one of which contains geometry for address points.  I want to take that view and write it to an SDE feature class using FME.  The problem is, when I choose SQL Server Spatial as the reader format, the shape (geometry) column isn't recognized.  When I chose SQL Server Non-Spatial, the shape column is recognized, but the output SDE feature class doesn't have a recognized spatial reference, and the points don't display at all on the map (ArcMap).  Is there any advice for trying to accomplish this?  Using SQL for geometry joins, spatial functions, etc. is what we're planning on doing for generating data for SDE feature classes...  Many thanks!  -m

I have a set of CSV files and for each of them I would just like to read in the first line of the file. Is there an easy way to do that?  I know I could read them in and use a counter and a tester to throw away all but the first line - but that would still mean that the whole of the file was read first - these are large files so I would prefer not to do that.  cheers  IanM

Hi all. I'm trying to run example from  FME Server Playground (http://fmeserver.com/userweb/sharper/playground/index.html) called "Stream KML to ArcGis map" on my own FME Server(trial). I've download  REST-kmlstreaming.fmw and Transit.sdf. I also publis REST-kmlstreaming.fmw to my server. When i'm trying to run example with my URL (http://<my server>:<port>/fmedatastreaming/test/REST-kmlstreaming.fmw) i recieve this error: dojo.io.script.jsonp_dojoIoScript2._jsonpCallback({"error":{"code":400,"message":"File not found. Wrong url or out of memory.","details":[]}}); But if i run Data Streaming Service from server i recieve correct kml file.  FME Server 2013 SP3  Any suggestions what i'm doing wrong?

Hi guys!   I used Labeller to put a text in a street and I got success (1 and 2) , but my customer required the text centralized (3 and 4).   The Labeller starts the text in Mid Point, so, how do I centralize the text?   Purple Line: Bounds Green Point: Mid   

Hello,  when exporting data to a PDF writer how can i set the scale? For example, when doing a simple translation from geotiff to PDF, but with the scale 1:50.000.  Thanks

This should be simple. I have 30 shapefiles of the same points (300) with one column which is the elevation taken from a DEM (ie 30 different DEMs queried with the same point theme). For analysis, I would like all 30 columns to be in one file (e.g. csv, dbf). tried my luck with featuremerger but with no success. Thanks, Uwe

Hi Folks,  It is very simple question but still I need some suggestions;  I created a workbench that downloads WFS, reproject it and save it in File Geodatabase in the local Geodatabase folder. We would like to use same workbench multiple time (lets say may be once a month), but the problem I am having is, it works perfect for the first time but when I try to use same workbench for same WFS file (a month later date data), I change the parameter (destination folder for another copy) the massage I get is  "Translation was SUCCESSFUL with 1 warning(s) (0 feature(s) output)" Can anybody point me out what am I doing wrong? Since I am downloading same data from same WFS link, I don't do anything on Reader parameter :)   

I would like to read and reproject Tiff-File. It is not a Geo-Tiff, the Geo-Informations are in a tfw-File. FME seems to ignore the tfw-File. How do I tell FME to read the coordinates etc from the tfw-file?  Thanks very much.

Hello, I am trying to connect to a WFS url (which works fine in various GIS software). Looking at the log, I see that the FME WFS reader uses GML 3.1.1. Can I change that so it uses 2.1.2? 

Hi All,  I hope I can explain my issue properly.  1) We upgraded our PCs to Windows 7 (64bit) and upgraded FME 2013 SP4 64bit and using  ArcGIS 10.05, (natively 32bit) (Desktop, Engine etc)  2) We have large number of workbenches with writers using FILE_GEODATABASE (ArcObjects).  3) When I run my existing workbenches I get the following error messages; “Unable to perform any licensing related tasks. This is a 64-bit version of FME which requires a 64-bit version of ArcGIS Server A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details”    4) I changed my writers to use the  file geodatabase (API) and all seem to run fine.  Questions;  a) Are there any  issues with switiching my writers to use the file geodatabase (API)?  b) Any ideas on how to batch change my writers from GEODATABASE_FILE (ArcObjects) to use the FILEGDB (API)?  Thx in advance, Ken       

All  i have a 70gb national dataset. I want to extract a clip of this data based on a predefined polygon. This is fine, but it takes 7 hours to read the dataset in before carrying out the extraction, and as i only need a small area of this data, is there a way to only read in the area of data i need to extract?  Thanks in advance.

Hello! I need convert many xyz files to raster. I use ImageRasterizer, but i can´t to get z value. Allways the transformer get fme_color and return an error: "No valid input feature.". Other information message says:"16 input features where discarded because they were not compatible with any band in the raster. Bands with a numeric interpretation requiere vector input features that have Z coordinates." I don´t know how configure this transformer for it do this numeric interpretation or which another transformer i can use for this job. Thank you very much to all the community.

I have floating license servers for both ArcGIS and FME.  To keep administration simple, I want to run both of these services on one server.  The problem is that they both try to use port 27000 and only one can run at a time.  I've tried changing my safe.lic file to port 27009 and it does open that port but the FLEXnet Licensing Service for FME still opens port 27000.  Has anyone gotten this to work?

I have built a simple workspace with source and destination SHAPE-dataset. Then I used the  fmedataupload-service to upload a zip file with SHAPE-Sourcedata. Now I want to use fmedatadownload-service to run the workspace and download result dataset.  But now I get following StatusMessage:  Shape Reader: No Shape Files found to process in directory `test_upload.zip'. Check directory and ids statement in mapping file My questions are: Are this steps to run the worckspace correct? How I must specify source dataset so that fme server can find them?
