In writing DXF when lines are output I use autocad_width and autocad_linetype in combination with a DXF Template file in order to get the desired output styling for 2D lines. For 3D lines this doesn't work and 3D lines are output in some default manner. As I am not an expert with DXF/DWG and only create such files with FME could somebody help me out with the following questions:Is it possible to style 3D lines in any way ? Thickness, dashed, etc.If NOT: what do people usually do if 2D and 3D lines are coexistent and should be combined in the same output file, while the 2D visual appearance matters and should be used also for 3D lines? At the moment the only way to cope with 3D styling deficiencies seems to be double 3D line layers, in order to have a 2D and seperate 3D copy force one layer to 2D and style it as usualoutput the redundant 3D layer as is in order

FME is writing a the geometry column as:GEOMETRYCOLLECTION (GEOMETRYCOLLECTION EMPTY, POINT (Y X)) When it should be outputting as POINT (Y X) Is there a way to correct this?

To all Autodesk'ler,I have a DWT-file, which is noch an ordinary Autodesk template file, but an application module. I can open and read it with the Autodesk's 'Infractruscture Admin'. Editing it possible with 'Map3D', where you can see the representation definitions. Usually you are hosting your data in an oracle database and holding the representation in LAYER-files. With a DWT you now have everything in one file.I already tried to open this file with the inspector - no success.Does anyone has experience with this? Cheers,Maria

When using the POD writer I get a warning message "POD writer: Compression tolerance '0.001' is too small for the point cloud coordinates and may produce poor results. Adjusting compression tolerance to '1'

I am reading in a complex CAD file from our engineering team. The DGN has multiple reference files, but the only information I need is the annotation layer. Specifically, the callout boxes and the leading arrows. When I read in the DGN as a Microstation v8 file in FME Data Inspector, the callout boxes are shifted in the wrong spot and the arrows are missing. Any ideas of what could be wrong and how to fix it?

I'm probably wrong somewhere  

I have a task where I need to extract data from a database and save it as a csv in SharePoint I had hoped to b able to specified the path to the SharePoint folder in the csv writer, but this does not seem to work.  The error I get is CSV writer: Failed to open file 'HTTP:\\\\projectzone.tnad.tasnetworks.com.au\\business-projects\\iap\\TE\\HVDC Cable Specifications\\SATVUE_99021037_2021_08.csv' for writing. Please ensure that you have sufficient privileges to write this file. If the file already exists, please ensure it is not open in another application I am using FME Server and the FME Server service account has permission to write to this location.

HiI generated a CityGML model in LOD 4 with its respective appearance using AppearanceSetter. I am trying to load the model to Cesium Ion but it loads without appearance. Can anyone help me with some idea to solve this issue.

I have a dwg-file with multiple linetypes (dashed, dash-dot, solid).The Option in PDFStyler allows me to define only one "array" or use a parameter.Is it possible to write multiple "Line Dash Arrays", or ca i put only one in a pdf?Who can help me?

Is there any way to read the smallworld internal features in EDO in GESW 4. X.

It seems straightforward enough using the PointOnRasterValueExtractor. The problem is it is only grabbing one value and putting that in all the points. I am guessing that the secondary files with the tiff may hold that 'value,' but I am unsure. The last screenshot shows the data doing it the slow way through ESRI's geoprocessing tools. Any help would be appreciated.

Dear FME community, Within a workspace that uses a specific view for reading a revit file, we have found that not all feature types that are present within the specified view are read by FME server. On desktop (using the same version and same workspace) it does automatically read all feature types.  At first we tried leaving the 'feature types to read' option empty, which made this difference visible within the log and output files. Secondly we tried adding all possible feature types to read to the reader, however this also did not fix the issue. Does anyone else have a similar problem and a possible solution? Maybe the cache is used differently on desktop vs server?  Added some log images of the feature types read by desktop (6 feature types read) and server (stops at 3th feature type read). server:

I am new to FME and this is my first post. I am trying to create a workbench that will search through hundreds of windows folders and convert pdf to tiff images. I have tried the ImageRasterizer with no luck. Is this even possible? Thank You

Dear All,  I am trying to write some features in a versioned featureclass. Instead of writing it directly to the SDE.Default,I have created version in ArcGIS and I have set the FME output to write to that version and I have made sure you have Versioning set as your Transaction Type under Advanced settings.I have Run the FME workspace and it has come up with below error message.  I am not sure why this has come up. Please let me know if you are aware of this.  Error message:   An error occurred while attempting to store a row into the table 'ARCFM.Lamp_LV'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147221230'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {}  The Zone of the assembly that failed was: MyComputer log4net:ERROR XmlHierarchyConfigurator: Appender named [MinerEventLogAppender] not found. log4net:ERROR XmlHierarchyConfigurator: Could not create Appender [Log4NetEventLogAppender] of type [log4net.Appen

Is there a way (or a script) that can turn off AUs when writing to SDE tables? I have tried the solutions from the below question and they didnt work for me:https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/95896/how-to-turn-off-arcfm-auto-updaters-using-pythonca.htmlI am looking to do this because I get an error when writing to the table from FME server but I dont get an error when running from FME Desktop. I am just trying to try any solution I can at this point.Thanks.

I'm really struggling with the string functions in FME at the moment. I have a workbench reading JSON features from an API and I have one attribute where the results are in a list. The JSON extractor results the attributes like this:  ["Medium"] Or if there are multiple values, like so:["Easy","Advanced"] I want the results to be: MediumIntermediate,Easy I want to remove the brackets and quotes using a single transformer and can't figure out the formatting for my life! Currently I have 3 separate "string replacers", each one removing a single character, but there must be a better way...I don't mind using a REGEX expression if someone can figure it out. I'm also open to using a different type of JSON query to extract these values? If there's a way to get the attributes without the brackets and quotes? I also tried using the stri

Hi,I was looking for the way to resolve geodatabase domains from a reader.It took me a while to find this post https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hOcnSAE/how-to-expose-a-file-geodatabase-domainFor me, Updating feature type solved the problem but I'd wish FME would give the user hint that he needs to do this feature type update.Here's the thing in more words :When you add a gdb feature class or table which has fields with domains, if you don't check the option "Resolve domains", the table is added with the codes, and that's all and that's normal.But then if you want the domains and in the parameters you check "Resolve domains", then you need to Update feature type to get the _resolved fields.I think the user should at least be getting a warning that h

Hello,FME throws an error when I want to write to a PostgreSQL table that contains a generated column (value calculated from another column).

I have workspaces authored in FME2018 that use informix spatial readers. In 2018 I am able to set a WHERE clause within the FeatureReader. In version 2021.1 I can no longer do this as the WHERE clause option is greyed out.Is this a known bug or intended behaviour?

I have attached the actual workbench below. SO in more detail, what I am trying to do is to output fanned out (by council name) shape files and GDBs to an already existing folder (of the same name as the council name attribute) on a drive somewhere. Is there a way to direct the output data to go into the different council folders when this workbench is run for all councils?The intention is to place this in the server and then schedule it to run on a quarterly basis.any thoughts?thanking you in advance.
