FME and clipping ECWs

Has anyone tried to clip an ECW using a shapefile? For some reason the clipper does not respond to the ecw format the same as it does for others. Having the ouput routed to the viewer shows a clipped image. However, when you open the output file again in either the view or in another program the file is back to its original shape. If i do the same process in arcCatalog, (extract by mask) it works, but it is very slow and requires a few other processes to extract the data afterwards to make it usable.

OS NTF Format

Is it possible to write to .NTF format? I see that the OS NTF option is in the list of readers, but not writers? Is there a reason for this? I'm having the same issue with space delimited .XYZ files - I can ask FME to read these, but no writer either? Any tips much appreciated!! Lisa

How can I use a public parameter in the name of a writer feature class user attribute?

The user funning my FME workspace enters a year at run time which is used for selecting records. I want to use the year they entered in the name of a user attribute in the writer feature class. Referencing the parameter in the user attributes using $(parameter) doesn't work. I can successfully rename an attribute to incorporate the parameter value with the AttributeRenamer transformer, but the writer feature class won't use that attribute. What do I need to do to make this work?

MicroStation V8 to MicroStation V7

I am having to convert MicroStation V8 to MicroStation V7 design files. In doing so I am required to select a seed file for the V7 design file output. Is there a way to use the global origin and units of resolution from the source V8 file? Is there a way to strip off the element linkages that are not valid in a V7 design file?

Finding No Data in ECW File

Hi, I have been provided an update of aerial photography in ECW format, I know that some of these files contain areas of black, i.e. there is no new photograph for this area. I was wondering if there is a way FME can look at each file and tell me is there it contains and area of No Data without me looking at each file individually? Thanks Adrain

KMZ Feature Extract

I have a question about transforming a KMZ file to a shapefile. Each time I import the KMZ file, which has several separate layers, FME is not able to identify the individual layers. The “Select Feature Types” lists out the typical feature types “Animated Update”, “Document”, “Fly To”… but the only feature type that translates into the appropriate geometry is the “Placemark”. However, when I transform the “Placemark” all the attribute information is lost. What am I doing wrong? Is there something I am missing in working with KML/KMZ data?

The product checked out is 'ArcView'.” How can I specify FME use and Arc Editor or Arc Info license? The computer has ESRI installed. There is a concurrent license that is pointed to Arc Info. At this point there are several available Arc Info licenses.

Problems trying to texturize a Lod2 cityGml model

Dear all, I'd like to work on a automatically generated 3d model composed by lod1 and 2 building. What i'd like to do is to apply some generic texture to this model starting from a datset of tiled textures of roofs and walls. I did some experiments but the obtained results are not really good for two reasons: - the texture is applied individually to each triangle of the model, thus obtaining a bad graphical result. - I'm not able to transform the lod1 buildings into lod 2 and merge the the result in a single datset in which each building has it's own wallsufrace, groundsurface and roofsurface. To apply the textures I used an apparenceAdder transformer and tried to set the Geometry Filter to "Geometry Type" "is one of" "IFMEFace" but nothing changed. To extract the lod1 bouildings from datset and transform it in lod2 building I used the approach find on this forum ( or the older Google group ) but in the output the lod2 building are defined as GenericCityObject. If it is of help I can u

writing ESRI Oracle SDE date attributes (date and month are reversed)

Hi, An easy one, I hope, for the ESRI experts :) I am writing a date attribute to an Oracle SDE feature class but the month and day are reversed. The feature class is a new table created via FME. So 20121128 appears as 11/28/2012 and not 28/11/2012 e.g. US and not European format I tried the DateFormatter without success. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, Annette

Writing empty MapInfo-files

Every night I update a bunch of MapInfo Tab-files, using FME Desctop. My Issue: When no features enter the writer to a specific feature type, no update is made to that file. The old content remains. No features to the writer, indicates that I need the resulting file to be empty, rather than containing yesterdays data. The MapInfo write has no "Truncate first" option, witch would help me out here...

DWG READER- PRESENCE OF PRJ IN THE SAME DIRECTORY WITH THE SAME NAME AS DWG-PROJECTION BEING READ FROM PRJ FILE

I accidentally noticed that FME automatically reads the projection system for DWG files when a PRJ file (created using ArcGIS) with the same name as the DWG file is present in the same folder. Initially I thought that FME can now read projection system from DWG files. But when noticed that the projection system was incorrect and further investigating the issue, found FME reading the projection system from a PRJ file which is part of SHP files created using ArcGIS with the same file name as the DWG. This was notice is FME 2012 SP4 as well the latest BETA build of FME 2013. Has anyone noticed this problem? However this is not happening with DGN files for me! Regards SRG

Removing FFS extended dataset files from the directory '' left no remaining datasets likely due to naming conflicts.

Removing FFS extended dataset files from the directory '' left no remaining datasets likely due to naming conflicts. Try renaming the source dataset files to avoid names like <basename>_<number>.ffs to avoid conflicts. Note that the FFS reader is sensitive to all files in the source directory and not just the selected files Not sure how to solve this. I have split the 500 files into 5 subfolders with 100 files in each, and that seems to solve the problem. Is the problem the number of files selected per Reader? If the Reader could not open all the files it should abort - and not let me "think" that all files are selected. Not easy to discover when you merge many files into one large one.

writing features to a postgis database after using FeatureMerger

I want to merge a shapefile and a dbf file joined by an attribute and write them to a postgis database. Is FeatureMerger the way to do this? How do I extract the merged feature information (i.e. all the merged attribute metadata) and provide it to the postgis writer so that the correct table structure is created for the merged feature type?

How to write a varbinary(max) to SQL Server Spatial?

For compatability-reasons with Geomedia I need to write an additional field of the type "varbinary(max)" to all the tables in our SQL Server Spatial database. In FME I can set the varbinary datatype, but I can't set the "max" value. I've asked around and so far it seems the only workaround is to create the field with the datatype "image" and then alter the datatype directly in SQL Server afterwards. Any ideas on how to do a better workaround?
