FME Form

Hi everyone,on my local machine, I have installed multiple FME versions (2023.2.6, 2024.2.4 & 2025.0). In our company we work extensively with git and i use the Workbench Git integration from the command line. However, if I want to diff Workspaces that were modified with the newer versions (only tested for 2025.0) the command “git diff” launches FME 2023.2.6. This is not useful, because if there are e.g. Transformers that have a newer version, i guess one that is not supported in the older versions, the “Compare Workspace” Tool (2023.2.6 version) cannot display them.Is there a way to specify which version of FME should be used when executing the git diff command? Thanks for your helpCheers!

Hi,I wonder if someone could help me?I would like to merge pdf files in one folder (folder1.png)with pdf files in different folder (folder2.png) based on data in excel (merge.png). For an example, merge 1.pdf in folder1 with 421.pdf,422.pdf,423.pdf in folder2 like it says in the table. And 2.pdf in folder1 with 424.pdf, 425.pdf in folder2 and so on...Is that possible?Thank you, Jasna 

Just sharing information about a new feature I found."Enable Performance Profiling" would be introduced in FME 2025.2 Workbench. You will be able to log detailed performance profiling on workspace run easily whithout editing header.Have been waiting for 10+ years :-)Sharing: Detailed Profiling of Workspace Running Performance[Addition] The command is available since FME 2025.1. I have overlooked that... 

I have a fileGDB with many records, of which I only want to read a Selection.I know how to use the Search Envelope to select records in a bounding boxIs there also a way of Selecting records where an Attribute equals a value? (actually one of three values)Or is the only way with a Transformer after the Reader?Just trying to optimise

So I’ve been experimenting with using FME to build specific AI agents/agentic workflows.I’m using OpenAI’s API and leveraging function calling. It’s been quite fun and a really good learning experience. You can let the agent make decisions - if you give it tools to use then you can use looping transformers to let it use the various tools you give it, constantly updating it’s context. Looping transformers are a bit of a paint to work with and hopefully there could be something done in this space to make building these tools in FME easier. I’m still not sure what the best way to do this is or even if it makes any sense to use FME for this but I made some progress anyway:for example: should the tools be other CustomTransfomers for example or whole workspaces or maybe both. Should this be something somehow handled in Automations rather than a workspace? So many optionsSo far the agent isn’t interactive and I’m just

Hi everybody, Do you know if Home licence of FME still available?

I have been trying to set up a Package dev environment on a Mac (Sonoma 14.7.7) and it crashes every time I get to the ‘import fmeobjects’ test in the venv.  Just getting that far was a huge hassle.  It appears that the SDK instructions and fme-packager library are geared for Windows. I had to modify the fme_env.pth file to only show the FME Home path and get rid of the rest, for instance.  The issue seems to be that the native FME python 3.13.5 library does not like the Python.org 3.13.5 library, but can’t say for sure. Are Macs even supported for this?  I currently don’t have access to v2025 on Windows.If anyone has had success making packages using MacOS, any insight is appreciated.  Bonus points if you have a good ICP reference! Thanks,-Loren

Hi.I’ve been tasked with projecting data from a local coordinate system to an official one.The local coordinate system transformation can be handled with PROJ, but is not necessarily part of the standard PROJ deployment.Q1: If I add these files to the Reproject/ProjData folder, will FME/PROJReprojector then automatically use them for the transformation ?Q2: Will FME automatically download any necessary (standard) files from PROJ if they’re not found locally ?Q3: And am I correct in understanding that FME 2025.1 and 2025.2 (beta) embeds PROJ 9.5.0 ?Cheers.

Hello everyoneHow can I restart a row counter in FME at the beginning of each year?I have a dataset with a year attribute (e.g., 2025, 2026). I want to generate a rowid that starts at 1 for each new year and increments sequentially.Example: For 2025 → rowid should be 1, 2, 3 … For 2026 → rowid should reset back to 1, 2, 3 … I then want to concatenate the last two digits of the year with the padded rowid to create a WorkOrderID like: 250001, 250002 … 260001, 260002 … Which FME transformers or workflow should I use to reset the counter per year?

Hi,I want to automate the process of downloading a dataset that comes as a zipped folder. Inside the folder, there is a GeoTIFF file that I want to read into FME. After that, I want to write it to a new GeoTIFF file, which should automatically update when the dataset is updated.What is the simplest way to do this?The file i want to work with is this: https://ext-dokument.lansstyrelsen.se/sodermanland/Geodata/Gron_infrastruktur/LstD_GI_Ädellöv_int.zip

FME can currently read from Autodesk Recap RCP and RCS files ?

Hi everyone,We recently switched to the new version (2024) of FME. I ceated a new fmw-file to convert gml to dgn. But when opening the dgn, I noticed that every level that uses an attribute value has the colour ‘white’ instead of the intended colour.Is this a bug? Can somebody help me how to solve this?Thanks in advance. 

I am testing the OGCAPI of the Norwegian Mapping Authority (https://ogcapitest.kartverket.no/rest/services/havnedata/collections). It provides five different coordinate reference systems. http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/OGC/1.3/CRS84http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/5973http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/25833

Interpreting an FME model can be challenging at times, so having a function that exports every transformer/tool used in the model and automatically providing an interpretation of their actions would be helpful. Is this possible in FME?

I was busy creating a Custom Transformer and wanted to link a Published Parameter to the Advanced Parameter 'Maximum number of iterations’.  However, the dropdown option shown below did not pop up. This screenshot is showing a workbench derived from this tutorial:Looping with Blocking Transformers – FME Support Center Any clues?

I have a table that I need to export to an Excel file. To this file I want to apply some styling. I’ve written a Python script that works well: it uses a FeatureWriter followed by a PythonCaller, and the result is an Excel file with the desired formatting, including filters, colors, and so on.Now I’d like to split this Excel output using a fanout expression, which generates 23 separate Excel files. Each of these files should then be processed by the PythonCaller. However, that’s where things go wrong — the process seems to get stuck. I’m using the _dataset variable from the Summary output port of the FeatureWriter as the location for the Excel files, which the PythonCaller should loop through.Is there something I might have overlooked?

I have tried using the online tool but not having any luck. Could anyone show me how to get this into FME? How does someone get this built as a coordiante system in FME

 Hi folks! As I was using AI tools like ChatGPT and Copilot to troubleshoot, I suddenly received information from the AI about the "Generate Workspace Documentation" function. Here's what I learned:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Generate Workspace DocumentationThis feature allows you to automatically generate comprehensive documentation for your FME workspace. The output is typically an HTML file that provides detailed insights into your workspace structure, parameters, and transformations. It's incredibly useful for sharing with colleagues or for archiving your workflows. How to Use It: Usage in FME Workbench (GUI):Open the FME Workbench application. Load the workspace you want to document. From the Tools menu, select Generate Workspace Documentat

I am trying to get my few MS Excel as a reader and then write them to a new Excel all together however, I got this error that says Excel Writer: xlsx row limit of 1048576 exceeded for New. The first 1048576 features of New will be written to file. Ending translation ? Is there a way around to pass this ?

Hello everyoneFollowing this article I created (with the help of our IT folks) a OneDrive (Graph) web service with custom client and tenant ID values, and on using the Test feature I can successfully bring up the sign-in dialog, but my connection is repeatedly sent back for admin approval, even though I’m configured as an admin for the app, and the 365 admins approved my login.  On returning to the app I get this:A bit of web research leads me Microsoft’s troubleshooting topics, but I don’t know my way around.  Our 365 environment is pretty locked down, but IT say I should be good for the app.

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:

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. 

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 spl
