This may end up as an Idea, but wanted to ask the community first: I have been trying to find some way to generate pdfs of floor plans that will contain annotation objects at specific coordinates, labeling things in the floor plan where the annotation can then be edited/appended.  Also, I want to ‘embed’ a GUID in each annotation that can be used to link back to other systems.    Use Case:Taking a pdf of floor plans onto a construction site, making comments on the provided annotations that can later be loaded into a Revit model by leveraging the GUIDs that came from Revit objects.  The pdf could be generated directly from a Revit model, or coordinate and GUID data could be extracted separately and added as a layer. You can imagine most buildings contain hundreds if not thousands of components that need to be maintained and tracked.   This is a universal problem for building owners and maintenance personnel.    As far as I can tell, there is no way to create these objects, only tooltips

Hello , I need to trace all paths that I have ,start and end point of each path is available I would like to find the points and lines between start of path and end of path in different paths ?First point is start find the next point on the same path and the second point find the third point till end of path ,ordering points and also ordering lines between them .i would like to have excel file that include First row Start point (a) - next point (b)- lines (line id 1)Second row From b point - next point C - lines (line id 2 )and so on till end point (blue point )fllow direction from start point to end point as picture  

Hello, I have a folder containing multiple shapefiles, for example,  (a, b, d, e, f...). My objective is to utilize the AnchoredSnapper transformer in the following manner: initially, snap shapefile 'a' with 'b', where 'a' serves as the anchor. Then, the resulting snapped shapefile will be used as the anchor and snapped with 'c', and so forth until all shapefiles are snapped. I tried to implement loops but the problem is that the output have to be the new output after every iteration, so i can't get a configuration of the loop. I appreciate any assistance or proposition you can provide. Thank you.This is my wokspace and the custom transformer , using a loop. 

Hi,I am using:FME2021.1 32-bitArcSDE Geodb writer, truncating the SQL Server table in 10.x geodatabaseVersioned Edit Session to feature class that is registered as versionedFME log claims success and that all writes were saved. No errors, warnings or anything indicating an issue in the log at all. The problem:Only even 1000 are written. For example, 9454 features result in that FME log displays all written successfully, but only 9000 features exist in the geodatabase. If i use cloner and increase the feature count to even 10 000 all features are saved. Any suggestions? 

I am running a workbench that uses dates as parameters. If I run the command in a windows cmd window without admin privilege's, the date parameters are not passed into the workbench. When I run the cmd window with admin privilege's it work as expected.  I am fairly new to FME and I am not sure what I am missing. Any insights are appreciated.  string passed to the cmd window:"C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Data Interoperability for ArcGIS Pro\fme.exe" \\myserver\myworkbench.fmw --SourceDataset" --SourceDataset" --SourceDataset" --DestDataset_CSV2" \\myserver\myfolder\mycsv" --odbc2_where_clause "(reptd >= '2024-2-1 00:00:00' AND reptd < '2024-3-1 00:00:00 00:00:00')"  --FME_LAUNCH_VIEWER_APP" YES" 

HelloHow could FME detect unwanted spike and unwanted zigzag and fix it without changing geometry of lines ?I have used spike remover and zigzag remover but sometimes it catches data that has no relevant with spikes ,what is best angle for transformers?How to keep the original geometry without changing it ,after fix the problem with zigzag or spike remover ?what is the best method to detect dangle lines and fix it ?thanks in advance fme 2021

Hello all,I want to understand the difference between two MapInfo WritersI am running FME Desktop version FME(R) 2022.1.3.0 (20220928 - Build 22630 - WIN64)The Writers are;MapInfo TAB (MITAB)Precisely MapInfo TAB (MAPINFO) Is one Writer better than the other?

Hello, I am creating a JSON file using several fme attributes. I want to include an if condition. If the typ =’HC’, I want to have an additional attribute (the name) added to the JSON. is it possible? The way the if condition is written here is not correct but it gives you an idea what I would like to do.{"Device": {"Type": fme:get-attribute("TYP"),"latitude": xs:decimal(fme:get-attribute("LAT")),"longitude": xs:decimal(fme:get-attribute("LON")),if fme:get-attribute("TYP") eq "HC"    then "Name": fme:get-attribute("NM")}}

You are trying to parse the IFC file into Obj and metadata through your company's FME Desktop.​I don't know why, but there is a problem that materials are not added to some objs. Please help in this regard.​The attached file is the workbench file used at this time.​​Regards,Bongsup Kim​​

Is there a setting to disable the translation log window from automatically popping up when running a workspace? I’ve disabled all logging and hidden the window, but it pops up as soon as I run. I’m trying to record the execution of the workspace for a presentation, and the window keeps getting in the way.

Hello, I am attempting to copy data from an ESRI FileGDB to a Feature Class in a SQL DB but no data appears to be copying.I have attached an example of a record from the log.  I have pasted “etc etc.” into it to shorten it as it is very long otherwise.I also get this error-Microsoft SQL Server Spatial Writer: Could not commit row locally. Provider error 'Description: Unspecified error'. Try turning off 'Bulk Insert'Hopefully this helps you troubleshoot my issueThankyou in advance

Hello, I have many points in txt file in PtNum,Y,X,Z,Description etc.And i have Alignements Geometry in a (Civil3D DWG OR LandXML) I want to put Stationning / Offset value on each point.Thx alot!!Running FME 2023.1.1 

Hi,  I have some questions about how to make a CityGML more efficient. Context: I have about 1.8m pipelines and cables. I want to visualise these as 3D cylinder/pipes (not actual ‘FMEPipeGeometry’), regardless of the ‘is it necesary to do this’. All features also have attributes like diameter and such. I want to write this to CityDB and CityGML. This results in huge filesize (somwhere like 15gb or 20gb). What I did: My thought process was it would be more efficient to use relative geoetries (a circle) that I extrude/scale/offset/etc to the proper location using the transformation matrix. Of course I cut the original geometry into pairs of 2 vertices. I wanted to reaggregate this to 1 feature once I had the relative geometry up and working. This all worked just fine until I discovered that in CityGML schema the cardinality is 0-1 on features with relative geometry. This means I cannot gather all separate bits of the cables again, giving me an even more absurd amount of features. I also

Good day,Is there anyone here tried converting Civil3d Pipes and Structure into ESRI Geodatabase Multipatch in ArcGIS Pro?My issue is the original attribute from Civil3d doesn’t copy in the converted Multipatch - when I convert using ‘CAD To Geodatabase’Can FME translate Civil3d Pipe/Structure Property to change the incorrect Multipatch attributes?Please see image below: 

I have a datetime in the format YYYYmmddHHMMSS.SSS and want to convert it to any other format e.g. YYYYmmdd or DD-MM-YY or whatever. My super simple workspace is below. My FME version is Windows 2022.1.3.0 The DateTimeConverter version is 4 The result I get with every combination is INVALID_INPUT The Preview suggests everything is OK and what I expect: Any suggestions?

Hi, I am trying to make API requests to connect to an application. It requires OAuth1 authentication. It seems like FME does not have built-in support for OAuth1. Is there a way to set the HTTP caller in this case? I would be extremely grateful if you could provide me with your assistance!

The Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader has most of the capabilities needed to read from a Utility Network including being able to set branch versioning. However there doesn't seem to be a way to resolve domains that are defined at the subtype. The Utility Network uses the subtype layer concept where domains can be applied differently on each field by subtype. Is accessing the subtype domains something the FME can/will support?

When using the Transaction Type: Versioned Edit session in an ArcSDE geodatabase writer, all edits will be rolled back in the event of a translation failure. The geodatabase writer is set to Insert records in my workspace and I noticed numerous duplicate records after the translation failed due to conflicts identified during reconciliation. Do we need to modify anything in the writer? Thank you!

I’m a newbie using FME although I have also experience with SQL and GIS. I recently started working on a transformer using the AttributeManager. This contains ~ 40 attributes and the goal is to convert part of those attributes based on different conditions, and others attributes based on a same expression: @double(@CurrentAttribute())I was wondering if there was a method to apply the same attribute expression on several input attributes at once while keeping everything in one transformer.Thank you in advance!

I have workspace that's using Creator, Workspace Runner and Emailer to run a parent workspace. I would like to attach the log file to both the Successful and Failure emails?

how to remove these unwanted connections from PostgreSQL Reader (highlighted) 

I am trying to edit features (location) that are within a trace network from FME.When editing in ArcGIS Pro I’m able to move features and have the network adjust (example: Move a point connected to a line and the line moves with the point) but I am unable to replicate this behaviour when running from FME. It simply moves the point feature away from the line. Notably I did have this working in a geometric network but since completing a recent upgrade and moving to the trace network in ArcGIS Pro it’s not showing the same behaviour.Is it even possible to maintain the network structure using a trace network out of FME?
