Data

Hello,I'm having an issue where FeatureWriters sometimes refuse to overwrite geodatabases previously populated with features loaded from the same translation. I receive the same (or very similar) error messages as found in this thread:https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/45200/writing-esri-file-geodatabase-issue.htmlI am currently using the following Table parameters for my FeatureWriters (in several translations):Feature Operation: InsertTable Handling: Drop and CreateA solution to this problem in my case is to delete the target feature class and reload the translations, but going forward this is not viable as these translations will be running on an automated basis and my client prefers very little (if any) maintenance to files or translations and doesn't want to delete feature classes and run one or two of these manually every week.I tried using "Overwrite Feature Class" in the writer parameters, but that does not work at all. I receive an error message that the GDB is locked, even 

I am trying to export some data to dwg model space and then use that data in a layout via viewport, I am having success but I cannoot get the viewport to focus on specific coordinate in model space, here are the attributes I have created, everything works except the location.

Hi all,i am trying to connect with a Azure blob storage container, with the AzureBlobStorageConnector transformer with the fme 2020.0.2.1 version.but its not working i am getting this message:  'Server failed to authenticate the request.

ErrorCode: AuthenticationFailed' and when i use the SAS url in the browser is all the containers that are available  Could someone help about this topic, please? http://docs.safe.com/fme/2019.0/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Transformers/Transformers/azureblobstorageconnector.htm

I have a couple of thousands of DWG files. Those have object data attributes. I need to extraxt that information. Then using AutoCAD Map 3D Object Data reader, it crashes on some files and stops reading other files (see the attached error message). Then using basic AutoCAD DWG/DXF reader – everything's fine, no crashes or skipped files, but no object data info are retrieved.Maybe it is possible to skip reading bad DWGs and continue to read the other ones with Map 3D reader? Any thoughts on that would be helpful.

Hi,    i have run 200 jobs on server. I need to download log files for each job. I can manually go inside each job and download log and save it. But it is very time consuming.  Is there any way i can use FME Desktop code to download logs per jobId from server?  Thanks. Subrat

When I convert features from a EGDB to a gpkg not all polygons are transfered coorectly. Some polygons are written as a null geometry. I am unknown with gpkg's so I guess I am doing something wrong but what? Any one has a answer to this?

In my work job, I need workspace in my cloud to be operated from my javascript web application, that converts standard Autodesk DWG files into shapefiles. The DWG coordinate system of ALL the files I have to convert, is ALWAYS EPSG:2039, even if not explicitly specified,and the coordinate system of the resulting shapefiles should be the SAME - EPSG:2039 Each DWG file contains DWG typical standard 5 layers - Annotation, Point, Polyline, Polygon, and Multipatch.Attached are 5 files - The workspace, and typical actual 4 DWG files. The DWG is displayed a little different by next ESRI desktops:By ArcMap (ArcGIS Desktop) I see the 5 layers as I describe them here - 5 layers, each with its specific attribute table. It's clear and simpls, so next description is when I see the DWG in ArcMap.By ArcGIS-Pro (and set coordinate system to "Israel TM Grid" that is EPSG:2039), then it presents the 5 DWG layers as 5 groups, where each group contains several "layers", where the

Hi. I am a newbie. Has anyone successfully converted a .JPG file to an AutoCAD .DWG or .DXF file? If so how? I am running AutoCAD 2021

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 DEsktop 2019

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?

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'.
