Data

Hi There,I am using FME to convert data into DWG by using a predefined template. This works fine but has the limitation that I cannot dynamically create layers since they will not match with the template definitions and creating the layers in the workspace has its own disadvantages. I cannot add all possible definitions into the template since the data and therefore the splitsing of the layers is different per conversion. I would appreciate any ideas or other ppl experiences trying to achieve this. Cheers, Itay

I'm working on a project where I need wave models created in MatLab. I have download them but when reading I get rotated coordinates.For some reason, wave models operate with rotated coordinate systems as opposed to conventional ocean models (rlat, rlon). How can I manage to read and rotate this data with FME? 

Hi,I am writing out line geometry with a tagset to a Microstation DGN file. I can't work out how to change the level of the tagset to be different to the level of the line geometry to which it is connected. Is there a way to do this?Thanks,

I want to prepare the mapping from 1 oracle database (11) to another (19). Problem is that the 19-database is not installed yet, and the only way of preparing the migration is from Oracle 11 to a fgdb, which have alle the attributes lower case. Thanks.

Hi, I am using FME Desktop version: FME(R) 2020.1.1.1 (20200817 - Build 20614 - WIN64) Using the SQLExecutor (version 9) against an Oracle Spatial Table, I am running  a SQL statement such as below:select "LINE", "COLOUR" from "SCHEMA"."TABLENAME"  This statement 'runs successfully' when tested but when I expose multiple attributes using the 'Attributes to  Expose' field, this does not work and a single attribute with all the field names concatenated with a comma is being output:  If I expose a single attribute only then the output is correct.  Is this a bug with this version of FME Desktop 2020.1 and or SQLExecutor Version 9, as it does not happen with previous versions of FME Desktop and SQL Executor?Thanks!

I have a google spreadsheet template located on my google drive that I want to make a copy of and move to another folder in Google Drive. The drive connector doesn't allow me to copy or download gsheets. I was able to have a gsheet reader and writer create a copy of the original spreadsheet however the styling isn't preserved... Does anybody have a work around for copying googlesheets and preserving styling?

Hi, In workspace app after I upload data (gdb,shp), I would like to see the fields that can be selected by user? Can anyone suggest any ideas?

I'm trying to write data to DWG. For this I want to use the symbology in a DWG file here after called the template.When I inspect the template, I can see all different line colors and line widths. However, when writing to DWG everything gets the same linestyle and color, eventhough I specify it differently. My workbench look similar as the one in example 2 within this tutorial:https://community.safe.com/s/article/working-with-the-dwgstyler The only difference (as far as I can see of course) is that I have a different reader type.I'm using FME 2019. I can't share the template or other data.

I have problems with foreign characters (åäö ÅÄÖ) in hyperlinks using the excel writer. This works(no foreign characters in hyperlink path):file_path = 1312-P11-47-00054.pdffile_path.hyperlink = C:\\work\\table_extraction\\fme\\template_files\\FME_2019_04_24-14_38_13.3\\xml\\09_Administrativa foreskrifter\\1312-P11-47-00054.pdf This does not work(foreign characters in hyperlink path):file_path = 1312-P11-47-00054.pdffile_path.hyperlink = C:\\work\\table_extraction\\fme\\template_files\\FME_2019_04_24-14_38_13.3\\xml\\09_Administrativa föreskrifter\\1312-P11-47-00054.pdf In the Excel output I always get something like this when hovering the hyperlink when the foreign characters are in the path:file:///C:\\work\\table_extraction\\fme\\template_files\\FME_2019_04_24-14_38_13.3\\zz.xlsx The excel file seems to link to itself which is wrong. Its quite strange that the st

HelloI have hundreds of very simple vector geopackages (.gpkg) stored in Azure blob storage. I use the feature reader to successfully read many other formats from blob storage but I cannot get the feature reader to read a geopackage from this location. If I download the data, then use the feature reader, everything works as expected. Additionally as you can see in the pictures the feature reader dialog can see the file but when asked to read it fails. Does anyone know of a work around that doesn't involve downloading all the data? Thank you for your time.

HI,We have a client who asks us the following question:I would like to inquire before installing the FME ESRI edition license.Indeed, we would like to integrate data into SDE database which is hosted on a dedicated server, does FME have to be on the same machine? Currently we go through postgis / SDE connections via ArcCatalog.A priori, we can write in the ESRI SDE, even if FME is not installed on the same machine?Does it work a bit like Oracle / PostGIS? Regards.

My current FME 2020.1.3 works with arcpy from ArcGIS Pro 2.5 and 2.6, but not 2.7. Does the latest FME 2021 support ArcGIS Pro 2.7?

Hello everyone, I have successfully converted a LAS point cloud file into a Cesium 3D tile. Now I want to add zoom levels so that my visualization software shows more or fewer points depending on the distance to the point cloud. I want to speed up the display in the browser. The structure of the file structure can be seen in the pictures. Different folders with Tileset.json files and tiling of the point cloud. Does anyone know how I can make such a structure? Does anyone have experience with it? Thank you 

Has anyone successfully connected to Snowflake using OAuth? We have been using a local account to connect to Snowflake but have recently been requested to use an Azure based OAuth connection. We have an assigned client ID, key and refresh url available but need to understand how to make the calls. Thanks!

Hi! I've built all of our municipality (including terrain, type of terrain, roads, water, bridges, tunnels, buildings, trees and railway) in FME. The kids keep complaining about the slow railway :) So now I've added powered rail on redstone to get faster trains. But the powered rail does not seem to be activated. If manually removing the powered rail and add again manually, the new powered rail get activated and the train goes fast. Is there a way to programmatically activate the powered rail in FME? I've tried using a block state parameter (which is supported in Minecraft) in addition to blockID and blockData. I called the parameter blockState, and set it to true, but FME does not seem to support that parameter. Can you add that support, or is there another way to programmatically activate the powered rail?Best regards, Ken Karlsson

Hello, please, does anybody there any sample of DGN for Bentley Map XFM Design (V8) Reader? I cant find any sample on websites and one of potential customer wanna see how FME can work with XFM attributes in DGN. Thank You very very much for some sample data!Lubo

Hi folks, In some cases I get into the situation that I want to perform an action on all of the exposed attributes in my workspace. For example, filtering features for which at least one attribute has a value (this idea is linked to the idea 'https://community.safe.com/s/idea/0874Q000000j0VfQAI/detail' and my comment in the idea 'https://community.safe.com/s/idea/0874Q000000j0G6QAI/detail'). It would be nice to be able to quickly select all of these exposed attributes. If I make a custom transformer that uses the 'Attribute_List' type of parameter (either comma or space delimited), I am able to specify multiple attributes to perform an action on. However, when I want to configure the value for this parameter in the main workspace, the 'Selec

I am trying to write extended data attached to AutoCAD entities such as lines (DWG file format) and am not finding examples on how to do this. I'm not finding the documentation particularly helpful in this regard. Does anyone know how to do this? See image below, thanks.

Hi, I have a postgis (12) table with 2 geometry columns.  The first column is defined as geometry (geometry, 3857). The second column is defined as geometry (geometryZ, 3857). Consequently, the postgis geometry_columns view shows 2 entries, indicating 2 dimensions for the first column, and 3 dimensions for the second column. When writing 3D data to this table, I select the 3D column in the writer properties. This gives a warning in the log: POSTGIS Writer: PostGIS existing table has a 2D constraint My data is forced to 2D, but this is not accepted by Postgis, and my translation fails. When I remove the 2D geometry column form my table, all 3D data is inserted without errors.Apart from just using the 3D column and forcing all data to 3D in FME and then back again to 2D in my application, I do not see another solution. Is there another way to work around this?

Dose FME require Arcgis Pro or Server in order to be able to write in file geodatabase?

How can I force that first symbol of generated passwords always be letter? I'm using this:import fmeobjectsimport randomimport string def processFeature(feature):    length = int(FME_MacroValues['Lenght'])        letters = 'abcdefghjkmnpqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ'    digits = '123456789'    symbols = '!#$%*+-:;<=>?'    all = letters + digits + symbols    temp = random.sample(all,length)        password = "".join(temp)    feature.setAttribute('Password', password) 

Hi, I'd like to save raster to the JPEG format. The raster includes an alpha band. In order to save to JPEG the alpha band needs to be removed. When the alpha band is there the background appears white in FME Inspector. When I remove the alpha band the background turns black. That's also the background color when I save the raster to JPEG. How can I work around this problem and make the background white when I save to JPEG? With the alpha band. White background.Without the alpha band. The background turns black. I don't want that.

When I clip raster by shape file by using clppper transformer I 'v used it in fme from arcgis pro v.2.5. I notice that the output raster extent could not exactly same as of shape file. They are not identical. Please someone kindly describe me and clue some resolution about this problems.

How do i set FME Workbench to write a GeoTiff with the PixelIsPoint header? Every setting i try writes a world file with the coördinates of the middle of the top left corner pixel and a model tie point with the top left corner of the top left pixel and a PixelIsArea header. QGis and Arcgis pro show the correct position with the current settings but Autodesk seems to shift the file half a pixel. I tried to fix this with the "Ignore Raster Type Key" setting or the "Write esri compatible coordinate system". I tried setting the RasterCellOrigin to 0,0 or 0.5,0.5 But all files seem the same. Loading an ASC file looks correct. This file contains the lower left corner of the file. Center of the attached files is 155000 463000    

I've been given a CSV file that has a mixture of line ending types, some are LF and some are CR.  The first line is blank with a LF, followed by a header line with a CR then all the data records which are terminated with LF's. The CSV reader is thinking the terminator is LF so thinks the header line is both lines 2 and 3 which is messing it up. Other than reading the file in as a whole and changing the CR to LF, saving it and reading it in again does anyone know how to read this in?
