HiI have some wired issueI use the PDFPageFormatter to insert to a template PDF all sort of data, some of it in Hebrew and are numbers.I notice that when I insert a Hebrew Characters, It didn't appear on the PDF.Can someone please help me?Thanks!

I am running a workspace converting DGNs to gdb with no errors but it gets to this message: "FME API version of module 'GEODATABASE_FILE' matches current internal version (3.8 20190621)" and does not proceed anymore any ideas?

Hi.I'm having trouble with a workspace, that outputs a number of GeoTIFF files to a folder.I'm using a FeatureWriter to output the GeoTIFF's. The FW has no option whether to overwrite existing files.When I save the workspace as a mapping file, and run fme.exe with this mapping file, no files gets overwritten, i.e. older versions remain in the output folder.If I run it manually (i.e. the workspace in Workbench), it seems like files are getting overwritten.Is this the WAD behaviour, or is there a difference between running *.fme and *.fmw files ?How come there isn't a setting in FeatureWriter to control this ? Or is there, somewhere hidden ?Cheers.

I am able to write to a local MySQL database, but I would like to write to a remote MySQL database through an ssh connection. I don't see that the Add Database Connection interface allows this. Is there a way to do this?

I have an excel file with lat/long coordinates and I'm trying to create points based on them in a file geodatabase. The geometry is being created but I keep getting an error when trying to view the attribute table: "A column was specified that does not exist." I've checked that all the columns are green in the file gdb writer.​If I replace the file geodatabase writer with a shapefile writer everything works fine. Can anybody tell me how to figure out what is going on? Using FME Workbench (Form now?) 2020.1 Thanks, Mike

Hi all!I would like to write my data to a format called .geo which is used in Sweden but is not supported by FME.I attach some sample how the format looks like:FileHeader "SBG Object Text v2.01","Coordinate Document","UTF-8"begin   FileInfo "Application","Geo Professional"    FileInfo "SerialNo","123456789"   FileInfo "Author","Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"   FileInfo "Company","Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"   FileInfo "Description",    FileInfo "Coordinate System","Sweref 99 18 00 / RH2000"endPointListbegin   Point "123456",6580210.000,155715.000,,,,"rör i mark med däcksel"   Point .....   Point....endLineListAttributeList I have a list with points and want to fill in the list in the

I have to assign line IDs to bus stops (point on the line). All lines are splitted at junctions. Desired result: S1 IDs: 001, 002 (but not 025)S2 IDs: 003M1: 015, 016 (but not 031)M2: 017 Any thoughts?

I am translating a group of point objects at different rotations from Smallworld to Microstation V8i. The same object in Smallworld and using the same FME translator. The resulting DGN has different size cells to represent the same object. The point objects that are at 0, 90, 180 or 270 are the correct size when translated but other angles translate larger. I am open to any ideas on why this is happening and what can be done about it. Thanks

Ultimately, i aim to end up with a map where you know depending on your location, where your nearest point is, represented by area.

Dear All,I need a full video tutorial to convert objects on Micrcsation v8i software to Autocad software using FME software?Someone did it, please guide me.Thank you very muchPham ngoc Quang

Hello,I want to create simple mesh trees from Point Cloud (LIDAR) in FME. And the closest thing I came to was with the "PointCloudSurfaceBuilder" transformer.Can anybody help me with this, please. The file is the way I want the final trees look like (it seems like it is about 8 piece of pentagon polygons for each tree).And the file is the closest I came in FME.I attach the FME-Workbench file and the input LAS file (and it looks like this ).Best regards,Jonas

We are working with a legacy dataset of scanned images and are moving everything to SharePoint. We discovered these files that have all the document information stored as a title property that is lost when moving to SharePoint. We are hoping that there is a way we can rename these files with the title information using FME. I have tried to expose it using the Directory and File Pathnames reader but cannot find the attribute anywhere.

Hello,I use FME to transform data in S-57 format (the native format of our databases) into more traditional formats, in particular shapefiles. The database export is therefore in S-57 format (extension .000), with the classes and attributes present for the ENCs, but this model is enriched with additional attributes and classes. This can be done by modifying the files s57attributes.csv, s57objectclasses.csv and s57expectedinput.csv in the directory $FME_HOME/s57 (Custom Object Classes File and Custom Attributes File). These files are also useful for correctly displaying additional attributes and classes in QGis (in the directory C:\\Program Files<QGIS>\\share\\gdal). While in QGis an S-57 file with additional classes and attributes is displayed correctly, this is not the case in FME.For additional classes: some are handled correctly, others generate an error when read and you can't go further in the processing (there are also cases where the

I want to extract data within the masked polygon by using FME. Can you please guide me how it should be done. Which transformer to use?

Hi, I'm trying to convert An AutoCAD(DWG) file to Esri Geodatabase with the labels (Annotation) to attributes. How can I do that?? and also if I have the Geodatabase schema, how can i convert these labels to the attributes?

The SFC (Scadec Feature Comment file) file is a format for Japanese specifications; it is used to store CAD data and is included in the SXF (Scadec data exchange format) format, a CAD data exchange standard.

I have a Data collected using Survey123 but sending data has issue and it was stored in android device only , so the format will be in sqlite database.. I want to extract the data from SQLite database and im able to read and see the data but not able take it into XML Fragmentor ..May be im doing some wrong.. I have attached screenshot and workspace ..Need Guidance and advice to fix this Thank YouNeed expert advice 

So I have created a work space with an SQL Creator to query a table of inspections I am interested in. It seems to have the proper number of results showing, but I am not sure how to actually view the queried table in the FME interface. I also have a feature class from our SDE in the workspace as well as the table of ALL the inspections. What I want to do is only use the related features that would match to records from the SQL Creator query to export to ArcGIS Online. I also want the full inspection table to also be exported to ArcGIS Online, so that a user can click on the feature and see all related inspections (which should include the one from the SQL Creator). Hopefully that makes sense. Here is what I have so far...what do I do next??  

Hi all, Trying to read in UK LiDAR composite data via a FeatureReader and spatial filtering - https://www.data.gov.uk/dataset/01b3ee39-da3f-47b6-83da-dc98e73a461f/lidar-composite-dtm-2022-1m I see there is an Esri ArcGIS Image Server Reader (https://docs.safe.com/fme/2021.1/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/arcgis_image_server/arcgis_image_server.htm) which should help facilitate this - but it is not available on 64 bit. Is there any update as to when this may be supported or a current workaround for 64bit? Thanks!Jack

We noticed that the speed of data writing to the DGN format depends on the type of objects. If we set the cell object at the beginning the writing was fast, then at the end, the speed slowed down several times. And the question is, is it a writer's trait or an object's trait?

Hi, we have a citygml file that contains a bridge. The validation by "citydoctor " showed no errors. Now we wanna extract the geometry. FME can read the file without error. But only a core element is shown and I cannot get the geometry!By the way we got the same result with the template bridge from the university (KIT)! Does anyone have any ideas or tipps for me?Thanks in advance.

I am trying to add an ArcGIS Server Feature Service reader to my workspace. I just need one of the layers from the service. Several of the layers have the same name but are differentiated by their parent layer (which are scale dependencies). FME Desktop Help claims it shouldn't be a problem, stating "The reader resolves ambiguity by appending the layer ID to the end of feature types if multiple layers share the same name. If a layer ID is present in the feature type, the ID takes precedence over the name." That doesn't appear to be happening because I receive the following when I select my desired layer and try to add it: "ArcGIS Feature Service Reader: Found multiple layers/tables that match the feature type 'Stations, PNM (4)'. They are: 'Stations (4), Stations (10), Stations (16), Stations (22), Stations (28), Stations (34), Stations (40)'. Resolve the ambiguity by specifying the layer/table ID in the feature type." Ok, but how? I do so

I would like to insert to a Postgres table where ther is set up an trigger event with hstore function to write to another table. While running in common SQL client with "public" search_path, there is no problem.I can't make it run in FME workspace, always getting an error:ERROR:  function hstore(vfk.par) does not existwhere "vfk.par" is the table I'm writing to. I have tried to add search_path "public" setup in "SQL To Run Before Write" but with no luck. Any hints, please?-------EDIT: In another workspace with another schemas but with similar tasks it runs without errors as expected. The triggers with its functions are almost identical.

I renamed a hosted feature service in ArcGIS Online and now need to update the name in a few FME workspaces (FME Desktop 2020.1.2.1 - Build 20624). But how? The feature service path is not editable under Parameters and neither Update nor Import Feature Types accomplishes the task from what I can see. It looks like I can do so using Find and Replace in a text editor but I'm not entirely comfortable with that solution. Is there a standard method I'm overlooking? And yes, I will be replacing the feature service name with the item id moving forward so this is no longer an issue. 🙂
