Hi, sorry im struggleing to convert KML to shp, i can get the shp files converted but i cant seem to transfer any names of the files

Hi @popsta35,

 

KML is a fixed schema format and comprise of different features types, the output shape files will be generated based on these types such as Neighbourhoods, Document, Style, etc.

If you open the Writer FeatureType, Edit "Shapefile Name" and add the file name you desire.

If you want the name to be original KML filename, ensure that you expose Attribute fme_basename on KML reader (under Format Attributes) and on the destination set Shapefile Name to @Value(fme_basename)
