I'd like to add to my question above that I tried to extract (if possible) _x and _y coordinates with "CoordinateExtractor" in a .csv file and there is NO possibilities of positioning this features in a map:

 

 

 

 

And here is what I have from the original shapefile:(highlighted those non-spatial features)

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

JuanM.

Hi,

 

 

In my quick test, the Shape writer was able to write the features that have no geometry without any problem.

 

Did you check the log? If there were some warning messages in the log, those might help us to know what's going on.

Thanks @Takashi I'll try to see what's behind the log file.

Hi again,

 

Thanks @Takashi for your tip, but there is no option to write this kind of feautures: it rejects them:

I also tried with types:

• Polygonz

 

Any other ideas?

Many thanks!! Removing the geometry give the chance to FME to add the non-spatial features inside (in this case) to a polygon shapefile.

 

Thanks Takashi!

 

;)
