Data

Is it possible to write object data to a dynamic block with AutoCAD RealDWG writer?

I've tried Attribute Reprojector, but that doesn't seem to help. I just need the lat/long.

My dataset contains date attributes per day that work was completed. My output needs to have the count of attributes that fall within any given week - example week 40 has 25 attributes - going back to the start of the year. I'm new to working with dates in FME so any help would be appreciated.

Hey guys, https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hBYOSA2/reconcile-and-post-issue Just following this here to reconcile our versioned ArcSDE in a workspace. I have the basic flow set up: Creator --> AttributeCreator --> Writer and i've set the parameters based on the thread above. My question on the writer is what geometry type and row selection information I need to fill in to get it to trigger? I didn't see this addressed in the two threads on this I found searching.Thanks

Occasionally the Folder (existing) parameter will change a backslash in the folder path to a forward slash when the feature is is shown in the table. This creates a major problem for reading, writing and comparing to this folder. Is there anyway to make sure this doesnt happen?

I am looking for suggestions for a user friendly database editing tool. A client of ours has a deliverable in Excel format. We feed data to it via FME from a SQL Server/SDE database. However the client does edits in the excel file and the edits never make it back to the database. I know, we can load the edited data back to the DB via FME again, but preferably, the users will edit the data directly in the database. The client is used to the editing functions in Excel so we need to offer them something very similar/easy to use. The data to be edited is a non-spatial table but related to a parent spatial object.The tool must have:Allow for bulk editing (replace drag functions in excel). Must be user friendly/no code. We have tried MS Access but it is too complex. From the user perspective they just need to:access and filter a subset of the data eyeball the values and add comments in one column.Good

Has anyone experimented with connecting to "Databricks on AWS" data sources? If so, which reader format or transformer should be used to make the connection and browse the available data?

What format can I write to using FME so that my vector data can be read/processed with OpenCV?I'm in the early stages of an image segmentation project to identify impervious cover data from aerial imagery but we're having some early issues getting my vector impervious cover data into a format that my computer science counterpart can use in OpenCV. It seems like XML or GeoJSON would work, but I don't have any experience with OpenCV. Any ideas?

Hi,I want to read google sheets with FME, in order to update AGOL feature service.On my Google drive, I have a folder "HEBERGEMENTS", with 9 spreadsheets.In FME, I defined a Google Drive Connection, and I use the GoogleDriveConnector. I can access to the folder HEBERGEMENTS, but when I run the connector, it reads nothing...Is there a option to see files ?I don't understand...Because the goal of that is to run my workspace with a batch.Thank you very much for your help !Christine  

Currently, I have a dataset which looks like this:I am wanting to produce something that looks like this:Rather than having each different activity displayed as a separate field name, I simply want to convert this into a single field name "Activity" then list the different activity types as a value on separate rows instead of the field header. I then want to apply the relevant frequency field to each activity. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance

When I add a feature type reader from AGOL, I get the coded values and not descriptions. How can I expose the domains on the reader for AGOL?

Hello There I have features that intersect with each other I want to create a group based on their interconnection as you can see in the picture there 3 group each group has features that intersect with each other to create a chain Thanks 

Hi, I am using FME Desktop 2019.2 64bit so cannot use the esri layer file reader (I am not sure this would give me the info I am after anyway as I want to interrogate the data source). I want to open an xml file within the .lpkx file to get the data sources from it (these are all buried in Portal with no way to get that detail using the Rest API - it seems). I have found them on the file system. Now I know I could use some python to unpack it - but using command line and 7-zip (or maybe one of the transformers on FME Hub) but didn't really want that extra step and then delete the unpacked version afterwards. So I guess my question is: Is it possible to change some configuration file in FME itself to recognise .lpkx as an Archive file? If so I would also need to do this for FME Server. This is probably not an ideal solution and the safest would be to just unpack it, then delete it afterwards? Kind regards John

I am currently processing a bunch of DWG files where the majority of them are working fine. There are a handful that result in the above question title as the error message no matter what transformer I use, how few or many CAD layers I involve, whether it is a new blank workspace or not. The error even shows up when I select 'OK' in the 'Add Reader' window and before I even select what layers to load in the following individual feature types window.  Any ideas on why this might be happening for some dwgs and not others? TIA

Hello, Is there a way to read Garmin format TCX and FIT ? I can't find any info regarding readers for these 2 formats. Thanks

I'm using an ArcGIS Feature reader to read a layer with two tables. After reading the two tables, I join them. I add and remove many attributes. The last step of the workspace is to use an ArcGIS Feature writer to populate a layer.  In the past when I've done this, the ArcGIS Feature writer created the ArcGIS feature service. Can I write to an existing feature service? ArcGIS Online (AGOL) field names must be 31 characters or less and not have spaces or other special characters (underscores are fines). Display names are also supported which can be longer than 31 characters and have spaces.  Ideally, I'd like to specify a list of attributes with data types for the feature service.  Questions:Can I create an FME workspace to write to an existing ArcGIS feature service? This is an ArcGIS question, but I'd like to easily create ArcGIS feature service based on a list of field names and data types

When writing a KML-file all characters with '&' are written as '& 'This also happens with '<' and '>' which will be exported as '<' and '>' This is the result<SimpleData name="sign">Electrical & hydrogene</SimpleData>But i need<SimpleData name="sign">Electrical & hydrogene</SimpleData> Is that possible?

Is it possible to DELETE files using the WRITER "File Copy" ?  UPDATE:I have created a custom transformer that uses the solution (FeatureWriter in MOVE to null) and uploaded to https://hub.safe.com/publishers/sigtill/transformers/filedeleter Feel free to send any feedback related to this.

Is it possible to create a bar chart with space between the bars? Currently they are merged together?  

Hello everyone, I noticed that FME does not read the AutoCAD 3D element types- mass element - mass group (which is composed from mass elements)at all. On the other hand, 3d solids are read in. Below is an example of this.  Is there any way to read in mass elements from AutoCAD files with FME (e.g. by suitable parameter settings on the reader)? Alternatively, is there any way that with FME, I can detect if there are mass elements in an AutoCAD file (a simple yes/no would be sufficient for me)? Here is the example: I have some DWG file containing four 3D objects, one mass element, one mass group and two 3D solids, one of which is the mass group converted to a 3D solid: When I now read this DWG file into FME (Autodesk AutoCAD DWG/DXF reader with standard parameters), only the

Hi all.I'm trying to consume a WFS service (Geoserver), which for some reason only works as version 1.0.0. This even though that the capabilities document clearly says 2.0, and accepts all versions.In versions 1.0.0 (and 1.1.0?) the parameter "typeName" is used to specify the layer (feature type), but this is later renamed to "typeNames" (with an S).I get an HTTP error 401 from the service when attempting to fetch data in version 1.0.0, but the very same URL works if I just add an "s" to "typeName".Can FME be tricked into instead using or adding the "typeNames" parameter?Actually, URLs may contain both "typeName" and "typeNames" parameters with the same value, which would make the requests robust against version problems. Can this be achieved?Cheers.

I'm trying to convert datetime values in ISO format to FME, because PostgreSQL database refuses to write that value as "timestampz". I have tried to both autodect and %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S$The preview show correctly the conversion:But the ouptup stays the same:Any hints? Thanks

Hi Safe team, Do we have an idea on which formats support mesh vertex colors? I can't see Information in the quick facts area for formats (e.g., OBJ) about vertex color support. It seems like it's becoming more an more common to see mesh objects with vertex colors instead of a texture. I'm just wondering what formats FME can read and write to where vertex colors are supported. So far form testing I can see OBJ supports reading them? A follow up question, is there anyway to convert these to regular appearances or a texture atlas for formats where the vertex colors aren't supported? Perhaps @daveatsafe​  has an idea? 

Hello all,I come from the BIM (Building Information Modeling) world and I have been looking for solutions to extract data from 3D models for a long time now. Recently this implied I had to try extracting data from 210 Revit models with an average file size of 200Mb. After different tries, I'm now on the FME desktop path, to which I'm fairly new to..., for testing with IFC (open source) files extracted from Revit models.Essentially there are a few key parameter in Revit Basic sample project in IFC from Revit (I think you guys call them attributes) that I would like to extract. Unfortunately, I see those parameters in different "viewers" (Navisworks, Solibri) from the same files I'm using for FME Desktop but I have no luck with the latter. I can expose those attributes but never get
