I copied and upgraded an ArcGIS Dimension Feature Class (File GDB) using ArcPy. However, when trying to read it in FME 2024 (FeatureReader / File Geodatabase Reader), I get this error:
Unable to convert row to 'DimensionFeature'
FME can see the schema, but fails when reading the features.
Does FME support reading Dimension Feature Classes, or is there a known workaround?
Thanks.

Hi @jugoslaviaa! I do wish I could bring better news, but unfortunately, reading Dimension Feature Classes in FME isn’t fully supported yet.
There is an open internal IDEA to include it in a future FME release, though!
As for workarounds, you could possibly convert the Dimension Feature Class into a standard polyline feature class, outside of FME, or if ArcGIS is installed on the same machine, then possibly inside a PythonCaller.
But I’d encourage you to submit a Support Case with us so we can dig into a possible workaround a bit more! 🙂
