FME Form

I would like to fill the holes or patch the gaps that are not really holes (see image), but in the output I don’t get any attributes. Why is that, and what is the best method? I try Areaamalgamator but ii cannot retrieve the attributs in output…thank you 

Hi, I have the following csv sheet created with FMEThat is not exactly what I want. I would like to see the following format:The third column is empty, and for the last 4 columns only 1 row is needed. How can I achieve that? The values in the last 4 columns are purely inserted in the user interface at the start, not more than that.Below is the part of FME:The user parameters of the writer  are as follows:Any tips?

Hello everyone,I need to transform a 2D road graph into 3D. Each vertex of the lines should receive the correct Z value from a DTM.I found this solution, which works very well:  The problem with this workflow is that it is very slow. My region is very large: the graph has about 150,000 elements, and the vertex extractor generates more than 2,000,000 vertices, which slows down the script. Any suggestions?

I am currently working with the new DocumentPDFStyler to create a individual feature reports.  Instead of the table reading across the page, I am creating a vertical transposed table with the attribute exploder.Table input However this seems to have limits with the styling as both fields are in the ‘column value’ so any styling done, including conditional options, are performed on the entire table instead of just the second value column. Output PDFIs there a different way to do this or is it possible to have an other documentPDFStyler element for vertical tables? 

I have line segments (vertex only a beginning and end) and want to create polygons for each (including their attributes).  The line segments represent a span between utility structures in a right of way. The goal is create the polygon geometry per span and calculate the acreage in each. The Bufferer works great when the line segments are straight, but when a turn is introduced, I get slivers and overlaps as seen in this screenshot:Notice the overlaps and slivers where the line turns Bufferer Parameters:Bufferer parameters To visualize what I’m trying to create - here is a mock up of where I want the polygons split (red lines were drawn in by me and the green polygon is just a buffer of the dissolved line segments).  The centerline represents the spans.Red lines = where I want the polygons split Doesn't sound too crazy but it’s kicking by butt at the moment.  Any idea or suggestions?

Hi folks,Trying my hand at a workflow that takes certain records from a GIS feature class and writes them into a Spreadsheet XLSX (2025 Work Plan). I’ve renamed the attributes from the GIS feature class schema to match the relevant fields in the 2025 Work Plan Spreadsheet with no issues. When I examine them, they look good in the table.The Spreadsheet has certain Excel-only fields that are not included in the GIS feature class. What I am finding is that while the information is being translated into the 2025 Work Plan Excel Sheet, it is also writing the remainder of the fields from the GIS feature class into columns in the 2025 Work Plan Excel Sheet that are Excel-only.This is despite trying to remove the excess fields in the Writer. And even mapping the fields directly to the corresponding fields in the Excel Writer. I had tried experimenting with the ‘Update’ parameter rather than Insert, but that caused errors.Are there any suggestions to ensure only the specified GIS fields are wri

Hi community!I’d like to know how to make the white background of this image transparent and change the black color of the geographic region to white. It’s important to keep the original resolution and export the file in Uint16 format.I’ve attached the image: could someone kindly apply this transformation and send me back the modified version?Thank you so much!

Hello, I am trying to extract html tags from an attribute, however the documentation is very unclear and need further guidance.Page: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-Transformers/Transformers/htmlextractor.htmStates: “In the HTMLExtractor, a query is constructed to find the div tag with the id “article” (CSS Selector = #article). The contents of that tag will be extracted (Tag Part/HTML Attribute = Value), and output to the new attribute articleText.”Where is the mapping document that maps FME CSS selector ‘ids’ to html tags?  I am trying to extract <br>, what should the CSS selector for this be?  Using “br” as the selector and then using a list exploder produces an attribute with empty fields.

Hello,I am currently learning how FME handles IFC HVAC structures and have been using some sample files from the RWTH-E3D DigitalHub repository (https://github.com/RWTH-E3D/DigitalHub) for my tests.While doing this, I'm having trouble getting FME to read all the features and their geometry correctly. The IFC file itself appears to be valid, as it displays correctly in an external IFC viewer like BimVision. (filename: DigitalHub_FM-HZG_v2.ifc)Here you can see the full HVAC system with pipes, tanks, pumps, etc.However, when I bring it into FME, I get incomplete results, and the behavior is different depending on the version I use.1. With FME(R) 2025.1.1.0 (Build 25615):The reader fails to read most features. The feature count for IfcPipeSegment, IfcTank, IfcPump, etc., is 0. The FME Inspector confirms that nothing is read.2. With FME(R) 2025.0.3.0 (Build 25241):This older version is partially successful:It correctly reads features like IfcPipeSegment and IfcTank with their geometry.Howev

I'd like to use non capturing groups in StringSearch. It is possible in the PCRE expression but seems not to work in FME :Example :On the string "This is a text string"(?:This is )(\\w)* should return only the string "a", but StringSearch returns the whole "This is a" in the "first_match", and only "a" in the subgroup when activated.First match should be the same as the first subset ?

We would like to migrate IOT sensors event data, which is exist in MySQL to Hono-Ditto system.Can you please help us with the process? Thank you.

In an Esri SDE database, fields (attributes) have a property setting of isNullable (Allow NULL). This property determines if the field allows null values or not. I want to be able to set this property in FME when I create a new feature class. Is there a way to set this property with the Esri Geodatabase SDE writer? See screenshot below to see how to set the setting in ArcGIS Pro.

Hi,I do have a question for anyone that experience about extracted information from a website . I have a geodatabase that I set it up as a field with Domains.The project I am working on is Campground for my Forest here we have many campgrounds.  I work on about 18 campground so far…My question is can I go to Recreation.gov site and select a campground using in FME ? For example, in the search box , type Colorado Campground and then it turns to new page and you will see the campground map that has all the Site number you can pick.So click on number three and then click View details...which will bring another page and it gives you all the information about that site number…That is what I plan to use this…I have done input all the information into my geodatabase  there. Will HTMLExtractor work for this type of thing ? Am I making myself clear  Thanks ! 

Hello all! I am using a CSV file as a configuration source, which contains a list of database connections and corresponding table names. This CSV connects to a Feature Reader, where:The database connection is set using a parameter (dbConnection) read from the CSV. The feature types are dynamically set using the table names from the CSV.The Feature Reader successfully reads data from all specified tables and outputs them through a generic port. I’ve exposed both the feature attributes and the fme_feature_type.Now, I need to join the database data with client data, but since all table outputs are merged through a single port, it's difficult to manage and distinguish between them.What I’m looking for is a way to automatically separate the data by fme_feature_type (i.e., table name) and route each to a different port or stream without manually updating filters or Testers every time a new table is added to the CSV. This is essential because users will be updating the configuration file with

I can't remove the "issue." fields. I tried deleting them with Attribute Manager and AttributeRemove without success. Could someone tell me how to do this deletion?

Hi everyone, I'm working on an FME workflow that needs to process multiple Shapefiles. The challenge is that these files come with different schemas (different attributes, attribute names, etc.). I’ve noticed that transformers like DuplicateFilter, AttributeExposer, DatetimeConverter, SchemaMapper... don’t handle these schema changes dynamically. That means every time a new Shapefile with a different schema is added, I have to manually update these transformers to accommodate the changes. Is there a way to make this process more dynamic, so the workflow can adapt automatically to different input schemas without manual intervention each time? Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I have a process that downloads groups of shapefiles of the same schema to a folder from a google bucket. I am trying to read in those shapefiles with a feature reader so that I can add an attribute containing the shapefiles name. Then I want to write all those shapefiles to a singe feature class in a geodatabase. How would I set up my featurereader so I can create and write that attribute in all those shapefiles before writing to the feature class? 

Hi, I’m using XSDDrivenXMLWriter to write very dynamic XML to a file. There is one part of the xml with a lot of features that is very static and contains always the same data like origin and publisher… I don’t want to create all the 30 features with the XSDDrivenXMLWriter for this static part and thought I could use the _XML_FRAGMENT_ feature and 3 attributes like xml_fragment, xml_document_append_path and xml_document_append_as to tell the XSDDrivenXMLWriter to add my static xml to the output. But somehow I can’t get it working.Can you please provide me an example workspace? Unfortunately I cannot provide my workspace because it is restricted by the customer.Many thanks. 

Is it possible to only read the (selected) attributes, and not the geometry?Quite often, I need to join the attributes from two spatial datasets, but only need the geometry from one. And I am assuming that reading in only the selected attributes without geometry is noticeably faster than reading the attributes with geometry.Is it possible to read any dataset without geometry (other than reading it with and then doing a GeometryRemover)? And does this apply to all formats?

For years I’ve successfully used the Geocoder transformer with the ArcGIS Online service. Now with the recent upgrade to Version 2025, it appears to be broken. I’ve read a bunch of recent articles concerning the new (?) ArcGIS connector package, but nothing seems to relate to the Geocoder transformer. Anyone else having similar problems?

Recently upgraded a dev environment to FME Flow 2025.1.1We have some workspaces that use FileCopyWriters to move files.These workspaces still run on FME 2025 but now throw out a warning message for each fileThe move request details the correct move, but then there is a failed to delete message that appears to be saying it can’t delete from the destination not the source. The files are in fact deleted from the source, so it’s actually all working as it should be and as it did previously with the exception of these warning messages. I note that the FileCopyWriter now has a delete option so wonder if this is related somehow. Can anyone confirm they see the same behaviour in 2025.1.1.  The same warning error messages is seen in FME Form 2025.1

Hi everyone,I’m running into an issue where FME hangs while reading a DWG file using the ACAD reader. The translation process stops and doesn’t progress past the following message:while reading dwg file translation will be stopped by 'LogCount_func' Loaded module 'LogCount_func' from file 'C:\Program Files\FME\plugins/LogCount_func.dll' FME API version of module 'LogCount_func' matches current internal version (4.0 20240212) Additionally, when using a PythonCaller with arcpy, I can confirm that the Python Factory locale is being flipped from UTF-8 (German_Austria.utf8) to ANSI (German_Austria.1252):import locale print("Startup locale:", locale.getlocale()) import arcpy print("After arcpy:", locale.getlocale()) Output:Startup locale: ('German_Austria', 'utf8') After arcpy: ('German_Austria', '1252') This matches the warnings shown in the FME log:PythonFactory script changed the current FME process locale from 'German_Austria.utf8' to 'German_Austria.1252' and FME has restored it back to

Dear community, I am trying to activate a workspace when a survey123 form has been edited and the user confirms that all necessary information has been completed (yes/no field). The work space would then extract data from ArcGIS online feature layer of incidents and the relevant repeat tables. The extracted data would then be used to populate a MS word template which once complete would be saved/exported as a pdf document. This pdf document would then be attached to an email and sent to the manager of who filled in the survey123. My main problem is trying to find a way to fill in the relevant field in the template with the extracted information from the ArcGIS online layer. Is there a transformer or series of transformers which make this possible? Thanks in advance.
