How derive global origin x,y and z from a dgn file?

Hi everyone,This is a very specfic question and is targeted towards the persons who work a lot with dgn files in FME Desktop. I ask this question on behalf of my colleague. He is reading in a lot of dgn files in FME Desktop made by other persons from other departments and some drawings have a global origin that is not x = 0, y= 0 such as in beneath image. My colleague would like to derive these global orign x, y and z values so we can move the global origin of these dgn files to x en y =0. Does anyone thus know if the global origin x and y values are stored in some kind of parameters? When reading in the dgn files in fme desktop the global orign x, y and z are known (see image below). So it looks to me that these values are stored in some kind of variables.

Arcgis viewshed geoprocessing in FME

Hello everyone, I'm trying to create a automatization of the Viewshed geoprocessing (a raster and a shape file in input and a raster in output) from Arcgis in FME (because its ModelBuilder doesn't work as well). But I didn't find any transformer or python script by Python Caller about it. Have any ideas or tips for me about how can I do exactly the viewshed geoprocessing but in FME ? thanks !

Can FME read a file on a UNIX server file directory?

I have a text file that is created in an Oracle database and output to a folder on a UNIX server file directory. Can a FME workspace read a text file from this type of location?

How to set up a creation of pdf/shp for each DB-row sent with emailer

I have an MSSQL database, where new rows will be added on and off. I have setup a workspace that will be run nightly, that checks the database for rows with null in the field "email_sent_with_data" and sends it in a beautifully formatted email and it works wonderfully. However, I would like to send along a map, either a pdf or a shapefile or similar containing the three geometry columns in the row. Any ideas for solutions to this problem?

How to find unnecessary network (line)

Dear Sir / Madam, I have an indoor data set. As shown in the figure below. Red line represents network path.Blue circle is the POI (Point). Black dot is just the vertex. As I have an indoor data for the entire building. I would like to find network that is unnecessary (not linked with any POI), as shown as Yellow Circle. I am just wondering what transformers I can use to find these path?I cannot just simply break the lines as some vertex are necessary for turning. I would really need some hand. Thank you very much!

MS Word Writer Issue - Creating corrupt documents when writing more than two images.

I am creating PDF reports from ArcGIS Portal Features w/ attachments. The workbench is set up to write to a word doc to use the template doc functionality (custom header/footer) and then converting to PDFs with a PythonCaller. It seems that when writing more than 2 images (from the feature attachments) to the MS Word document, it corrupts the file. Two images or less works correctly and the documents are able to convert. I am writing out images from attachments to a local drive using the BinaryDecoder and AttributeFileWriter. Then specifying them for the word doc using the MSWordStyler --> Image Source = From File. I've tried using a PythonCaller after the the AttributeFileWriter to compress the images (jpeg and png) and resize them before being written to the word doc, but that doesn't seem to help. Any help/ideas would be appreciated.

removing typos & matching meter IDs from two different datasets

Basically, I want to match meter IDs from two different datasets: shapefile and excel file. Meter IDs in both datasets might have typos such as dashes, dots, letters, slashes, which I need to remove first. Then I want to match MTR_NO from Excel against Mother_1 , Child_3, & Child_4. My idea is to export an excel table that will include only matching meter IDs.

flow control / execution order

Hi, Is there a way to modify execution order of a sub part of a workflow to obtain a full execution of an arbitrary long chain of transformer on a given feature.alike: transformer1 execute row1 - transfomrer2 execute row1 and output 10 row - transformer3 execute row1 to 10- then -transformer1 execute row2 - transformer2 execute row2 and output 5 row - transfomer3 execute row11 to 15- then -transformer1 execute row3 - transformer2 execute row3 and output 7 row - transfomer3 execute row16 to 22 this even if there is merge or agregate transformer. The issue is: I have is that I have to sequence operation on an external web service that some time "loose itself" when for exemple I create all invoices then further in the workflow I create all invoices_lines for all invoices, I need inside of a more complex workflow to create the invoice then create all line for this invoice then create next invoice and so on... I allready know that I can use a workflow runner to achieve this but it

Unable to add two different files in the same zip folder

I have this problem:In the workbench there are many writers. Two of them should be in the same zip folder. This happens when I run the workbench in FME Desktop, but when I run it from FME server I only get 1 of the two files in the zipped folder. I use fanouts:@Value(field1)_ExportacioGIS.zip\\SortidaDXF.dxf@Value(field1)_ExportacioGIS.zip\\SortidaDWG.dwg Where "field1" is the same value for each file. In the desktop I get the expected output:But when it runs from the server I get only the DXF file. I try it using a Job Submitter and a Data Download services. Any idea why it does not work from the server?

is there any reader where i read the Google analysis data ?

How to get complex annotations interpreted, or is there a possibility to (re)-create the 'labels'?

Within ArcGIS Pro 3.1 I am creating annotations with the help of Arcade (a lightweigth expression language). The outcome is as shown below, basically a fractionWhen I read the annotation layer from the file geodatabase, FME does not interpret the HTML tags in the text string, but counts them as part of the text.I there a way to make FME interpret these tags correctly? My final product should be a dgn file with a level holding these 'labels' and I was wondering if that is possible, and if I can achieve this with FME. The 'fracture' consists basically of three parts as I see it:nominator that is underlinedline breakdenominator without underline

NeighborFinder to two

Hi, Im struggling a bit with finding nearby points to another point layer. I want the Neighborhoodfinder to find the two closest points within a distance. The output file only includes the nearest point even though I have set the neighbors to find parameter = 2. I want the output file to include the two closest points and their distance. Any suggestions?Thanks in advance!

How to find tables that has common id from oracle database ?

Hello , i have around 800 tables at my oracle database and I would like to ask if there is a method that I can find which tables has the same object id .i think ,if I read each table then use feature merger between one table and others and so on .it will take time is there a quick method that compare between all tables and eachother to find which tables has common id and show me the name of tables that has common id.my target to find the name of tables that has common id.FME 2021

When i try to call a certain API I seem to fail when the response is too big with the error message: HTTPGetforbrug_3 (HTTPFactory): [1]: HTTP transfer error: Server returned nothing (no headers, no data)

I have set the timeout to 1800 seconds but i fails after about 10 minutes. I have asked the guy who administers the webservice and he says that on the API side it seems to go well and it sends the response after about 12 minutes. I have attached the log file of me trying to run the httpcaller. Edit: I can see that i some months ago made a similar thread, so if you (administrators) prefer I can delete this and respond in the old one. In short I was asked in that thread wether I was sure that there should be a response, and I am sure of that. Sorry about the double post! Kind Regards Rasmus Raun

How are ArcByCentrepoint (and Circle) implemented in AIXM 5.1/GML?

Hello everyone! I struggle with understanding how ArcByCentrepoint (and Circle) are implemented in AIXM 5.1/GML. I ingest exactly the same dataset in FME and QGIS. However, in FME everything looks correct whereas QGIS butchers the geometry. I tried this with class C airspaces around Munich and other airspaces. The system behavior is the same regardless of the airspace. These discrepancies are not just ugly, but they also lead to partially invalid geometries. I have attached example screenshots.In FME In QGISI believe that these discrepancies may occur due to each application utilizing a slightly different projection, e.g. UTM, AZMED, AZMEA, and other local coordinate reference systems are probably just part of a longer list. With each projection, the displayed geometries are slightly differently skewed in terms of distances and angles. So far, I have selected Lambert Azimuthal Equidistant Projection for my calculations/constructions, which originate at the circle’s midpoint. In my unde

How to FTP a file after using a filecopy writer

Hello,I have a workbench that uses a tester to copy files into a folder and zip them based on the create date. This works fine however after I have the files in the new zip file I can't seem to figure out a good way to then use a FTP caller to upload the files since you can't do anything after you have used the filewriter. Looking for ideas of how to upload this zip file to an FTP in the same workbench?

How to fetch data from HTTPCaller "_response_body"

Hello FME Community,Although I was very happy to have successfully used HTTPCaller for the first time by writing the data to a CSV file, I seem to be stuck in using HTTPCaller to read the data from the "_response_body" to continue the processing. I can see the data loaded in the "_response_body" but I couldn't manage to pull it out to continue the processing (tried FeatureReader, TempPathnameCreator, AttributeFileWriter). I always fail to pull the data. Can anyone help me out with an example of usage? I read the documentation, forum posts and other internet posts but I still fail to use it as exemplified below. Basically, I would like to replace the CSVReader (below) with the HTTPCaller data, as to load the data automatically and not have to download manually the CSV file every time.Below, the successful usage of HTTPCaller, but with a resulting file.Many thanks for your time,Robert
