Shape writer creates shape_polygonzm by default

S
Hi,

 

 

I would like to use the ESRI Shape Writer in the dynamic mode. It works but it writes the shapefile by default with shape_polygon z and m.

 

 

 

I tried to change the settings in the configure dynamic schema parameters to

 

1. fixed Shape_polygon --> same result

 

2. First feature defines geometry Type (the geometry type is 2D) --> same result

 

 

 

 

Roger mentioned the same issue the 22. January:

I use FME(R) 2014 SP2 (20140528 - Build 14336 - WIN32)

 

 

Any idea?

Hi,

 

 

I also expect the resultant shape becomes 2D if you set the parameter like that, but it doesn't work as expected in fact. I'm not sure if this behavior is correct. Possibly this is a Safe's support matter.

 

 

As a meantime workaround, you can force 2D to the writer when adding that.

Thanks Takashi, that's exactly what I usually do.
