Hi, Is there a way to run AutoCAD scripts in FME without calling or using AutoCAD licence? I need to Copy or Rename Layout of my template file.

Hi everyone, really need help. I used FME to convert IFC to citygml. I imported a 3D citygml into 3Dcitymodel, and when I try to export it in KML or also in citygml again, it seems to be 2D! Why?

When running a simple Pathreader on files on a network share it runs fine . But when I choose the recursive parameter the translation just gets to "retrieve file properties 'false' " and no further progress is made The 2 warnings are :Feature Caching is ONThe workspace may run slower because features are being recorded on all output ports. any ideas why this should happen?

I regularly have to send geodata to others outside of the company I work from.In order to send any type of data to external parties or clients, we have to upload the data to an online portal. This portal requires me to use a 2 step verification process to log in (first my company username and password, and then with an sms code send to my phone). After logging in, I'm able to upload the data to specific environments (folders) for each external party.Is it possible to automatically upload the data through FME, either through an HTTP caller, or some other method? I tried using the HTTP caller, and switched around certain settings and parameters, but so far no success.The portal used is this one, it doesn't seem to be internationally known, but I could be mistaken. The information on their website seems to be in Dutch only, sorry.https://try.msafe.nl/  (I'm using FME

Hi All,In a Windows folder, I have lot of .jpg files.All .jpg files have EXIF information that gives to me GPSLatitude and GPSLongitude of the image.I want to create a single KML file with as many placemarks as .jpg files.I want to see the image when I click on the placemark (baloon).The placemark must have the same name as the JPG file.Thank you for your help.Have a good dayArka

Hey, we are working on ceiling grids in Revit and heard about FME can convert 2D grid objects to 3D and furthermore creat ceiling plates. Is there anyone who have worked on this before? I'm new to FME :p

Our organization upgraded from FME Desktop and Server 2019.1 to 2020.1. We have a process in which users can select an area on the map and a FME workspace will run that will export data into a cad file (dwg) and a png file putting both files in a folder. We realized that the cad file does not include the reference to the png file since the upgrade. The workspace is showing a warning that "AutoCAD Writer: Failed to write raster. Skipping feature". I am not sure why the autocad writer is failing. Has anyone else ran into this warning before? If so, what did you do to resolve it?

Has anyone uploaded Files to Salesforce through the Rest API? Look to attach items like a GEOPDF, kmz , etc to opportunities in the attachment table.

Hello I'm currently working with legal parcels and I Would like to know how I can turn these areas into centered points so I can use them further in different applications. Specifically the neighborfinder to find its location on existing streets.

Hi All, I have a KML data which has many folder . Each folder is having different set of geometry eg route1 ,route 2 with other attributes . also each folder has unique number which i want to link to route information . herewith i have attached the screen shot of the KML highlighting the information which i am trying to fetch . Also attaching the KML file .   Things i have tried : i mange to do the geometry extraction with KML description for each route but unable to link the route to the folder number .   Any suggestion on this ? Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone, this should be a simple thing to do, but I can't find how (or even it is not possible). Thanks!

I downloaded some soil data from here. Included in the data is an ESRI shapefile and a .style file, which I can open in ArcMap to style my layer. However, I can't figure out how to open this file in FME. There doesn't seem to be the right format in the reader. Since I want to do this multiple times, I want to figure out how to automate the styling progress with FME to let's say create a kml-file with the correct styling in the end. Is there a way to open this file in FME? 

While converting a DWG file into shapefile, using FME's workspace transformations, all the metadata of the DWG is lost. Inside the DWG , for each feature, there are a lot of metadata for example –LayerHandleColorTextEtc. It is expected that this information will be persevered and will be available inside the SHP file as attributes. Right now, as default, the attribute table of the SHP file is empty. It's a "stopshow" for us...Help will be greatly appreciated, Michael

I have a .pdf with a list of files/folders that I want to copy from a disc with a heap of folders. I need the folders that match pdf list on the disc extracted out and put into a new folder. What work flow would I use to do this. I am very new to using fme. I have been playing around with file directory reader and the filenamePartExtractor transformer but have not had any luck. All advice welcome, my Internet search hasn't helped me much.

Is there currently any way to get FME to work with ESRI enterprise geodatabase objects that have Arcade expressions? We'd really like to customize our feature popups and Arcade is the only language to code them in in ArcPro. But if we do that, it appears we can no longer use FME to translate data into the features. (We get same message "The item does not have a definition" as we got when we tried to run an FME translation last year after adding an attribute rule to a feature using Arcade in ArcPro.)Here's an example (Note that we added custom popups to FireServiceConnection yesterday.):2019-03-19 09:58:26| 41.9| 0.6|ERROR |An error occurred while attempting to open the table, feature class or relationship class 'sde.FireServiceConnection'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147211773'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {The item does not have a definition.}I saw an idea

Looking to share experiences with AWS Redshift and now with the new spatial support if you have tackled that yet.

Has anyone ever tried to create texture atlases in FME?  I'm thinking about trying to try this, however, I don't want to recreate the wheel or start a process which is just not worth it (performance-wise).  If anyone has had a go at this I would really appreciate any tips of comments  Thanks in advance!  

Hey there, I have a few workspaces that make use of the Esri File Geodatabases readers and writers. Processing a huge amount of data comes with some issues. In the past i had noticed a huge slowdown of my performance once i hit the last few transformers in the line. Last week i noticed the log line that comes up during the negative performance switch.  The line states: Optimizing Memory Usage (something something)Ram usage stabilizes from ~2,7 GB down to about 2,4GB and does not rise anymore. I have more than 10GB of available space left but it will not use more, probably because its the 32bit version. After that point, i will only be able to process around 5-10 objects a second! This is extremely slow if compared to before that point, which was around the thousands a second or even more. I am looking for a solution to this issue and came up with the following idea:If i export the data from the file

I have two featureWriter fed by same feature. I want to write on a PostgreSQL database. I specify one with a schemas (Table Qualifier) and the other not.After that I want to use the result who was write to manage my foreign keys. The summary is the same (2 features written). Is it normal that when I specify a table qualifier, any of my feature can't be used after the FeatureWriter ?

Hi, the doc for Trimble Sketchup says version 2015 or earlier is supported, so 2016 and later are not supported?

Good day I have an image dataset which I would like to do content conversion. As it stands y=-y, x=-x. How do I go about it to make x=x, y=y?It's my first time to use FME. I have tried to locate the scaler function but couldn't find it?

I need to relate text values (annotations) to lines. In the example bellow, there are 3 lines and 2 annotations. The longest line (two segments) should get value "PEd100" and the other one should get PE32. Annotations aren't related to lines by common attribute, just placed near the lines.In this case both geometry and annotations are on the same layer, but it's not always the case. Any ideas?
