FME Form

Here i have some Lines extracted from DWG and thought i set them to the correct projection. all seem right except for one file that is way off "Asbuilt - Sewer Existing" I noticed that the autocad_origion x,y are the correct extents but the geometry have different xy coordinates. any ideas on how to set this correctly would be appreciated. Many Thanks! 

I'm looking for some advice to get me started on creating a workflow. I'm an intermediate FME user but this problem has got me stumped! I'm dealing with roughly 100 areas that require tree planting. Each planting area will be a different size depending on the environment. Once each area is planted, we need to monitor 20% of the area to determine the success rate. The monitoring plots are 10 x 10 metres, so area of 100 sqm. The plots need to be placed at random and I need to find out how many monitoring plots can be fit wholly within a planting area where the total area of the plots is at least 20% of the total planting area. For example, if the planting area is 3000sqm, I would need to assign 6 x plots.20% of 3000 is 600. 600sqm would be 6 x plots. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Hi, When i try to connect open service: https://gis4.waimatedc.govt.nz/arcgis/rest/services/Public/RoadClosure_Waimate_Active_Planned/MapServer using "Esri ArcGIS Feature Service" reader, I get Python exception error. There is no authentication required as its open service. The fact that I can use HTTPCaller and get the data with query service tells me, this service doesnt require authentication. Am I missing something? I tried few other rest service from this council with no luck. Python Exception <HTTPError>: 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: does this error means anything to do their IT system infrastructure? Any help would be appreciated?

I want to read a Geopackage file, but when I run the FeatureReader transformer, it creates a new geopackage file with the name of "file name"_0.gpkg so as cannot be located. I cleared several times my temp folder with ClearTemp.cmd, also Purge temporary files in my FME-script. But still I have problem with temp-file! Can you guide me how can I fix the problem? Thanks I can read my file via Reader and there is not any problem, but when I read it via FeatureReader, I have problem with temp file!

I was reviewing the article "Build Topology and Calculate Route Length" and had a question left unanswered. The dataset ends with a fork in the route. How would we set the topology builder to allow traffic from segment A to B, A to C, B to A or C to A, but to not allow traffic from B to C or C to B?

Hi,  I have just signed up with an FME account in order to access the FME Academy. When I follow the links through the Academy I end up at a SalesForce specific TrailHead. Foolishly, I created an account there to see if that would give me access to the Academy. Is the Academy functioning at the moment? Thanks,Chris

I am in the process of creating an FME script to download photos as attachments features in ArcGIS Portal using the FME ArcGIS Portal Feature Service.The script runs fine from the ArcGIS Pro application using the interoperability extension.The only problem is that images from all the features is downloaded, even if only some is selected in ArcGIS Pro.

Hi all, Something very strange happening just wondering if anyone has had the same issue. I have a process that both reads and writes ESRI Geodatabases. In recent weeks I have noticed that every time I try and read in a geodatabase I get an error "Workspace or Data Source is Read-Only". I have checked my permissions, I have checked I am the only user accessing and all is fine, and the error disappears if I copy the gdb locally - this error only occurs when reading across my work network between servers - but I 100% have the correct permissions for the task. To add to the complexity, the error only happens about 90% of the time but on the odd occasion all works as intended. Anyone any bright ideas? Cheers,Jack

Hello Forum, For a project I need to create WFS feeds for several datasets. Looking at https://community.safe.com/s/article/how-to-create-a-wfs-service-using-fme-server I see that this may be possible. I’ve opened the example workspace provided in https://community.safe.com/s/article/how-to-create-a-wfs-service-using-fme-server. It wouldn’t open in v2023.1, so I opened in v2021.2 instead. Is creating a WFS in FME Form really this complicated?… 

Hi,I treid to use css for this websitehttps://www.servizipubblicaamministrazione.it/servizi/saturnweb/Pubblicazioni.aspx?RicCro=1&CE=brnttcn1113 and I'm able to extract the value oggetto using tr:nth-child(-n+10) > td:nth-child(3)> a> span but I can't extract the title part because if I use tr:nth-child(-n+10) > td:nth-child(3)> a I receive back all the valuescan you help me ?  thx Francesco PS I read the documentation but I'm not able to find a solution 

Hello I am a GIS analyst and I want to learn FME for the first time. I checked different parts of the website but still don't know completely how to start to learn here!

Hi All,  I'm working on a workbench to create smooth arc/ polygons from N, S, E, W and NW readings. I was able to calculate the lines & point based on the readings but need help to draw the spline lines/polygons in FME.Below an example of the point and lines extracted from N, S, E, W and NW readings:...and the following screenshot shows the desired output: spline lines made the polygonI'm wondering if there's any way to create those splines to make the final polygon? Thanks 🙂   

Doesn't appear as an option now on the website

@david_r​ Hello David, Need your help on the issue related to distributed engine setup with FME standard trial license where single engine is installed separate machine and remaining FME components on another host including Flow database on same. Kindly refer below link with example#2 that has been followed.https://community.safe.com/s/article/A-Guide-to-Choosing-your-FME-Server-Deployment-Architecture#FTEx2I have attached the log snap for your reference.Thank you.

I have yet to successfully use dates as an axis in ChartGenerator. Ideally, I would like to be able to use more natural date formats e.g. %B %Y or %m %Y and set the scale accordingly based upon time increments. Is this possible (in Chart Generator or another transformer) ? Or am I going to need to take it out into PowerBI, Excel, etc?

I have a dataset from a spreadsheet that i have created a counter for each row successfully. The SQL table i am importing this dataset into has a primary key (highlighted). This primary key is not recorded anywhere in the database as a sequence number. I have added in a statisticsCaculator transformer to obtain the max number.  I want to insert each row from my dataset (first screenshot) but i want to insert the LUPID as count + LUPID.max. so i end up with 1691+1 = 1692, 1691+2 = 1693, 1691+3 = 1694 etc for each row what transformer would i use to do this?  

Solved with LISP (.lsp) and csv export. Read my last post I working on a script that need to test some parameters in a hundres of dwg files.Just to make it short. Autocad_layer_frozen and Autocad_layer_description are two attribute that I need to check and what I use in this example. However, the only way I have succeeded so far to get empty layers visible is to use a dwg reader and choose individual file types. B No data of course. Nothing is read since the layer is empty.  Both DWG reader and feature reader can only read layers that are not empty. Feature reader and with format "Any schema" can read all layers, also empty layers, but does not contain the native autocad attributes like Autocad_layer_frozen and Autocad_layer_description. Is there any way to read empty layers to get all the attributes that exist in a autocad layer feature with only use of FME?

Hi, I have a couple of queries, I will try my best to elaborate. I am transforming to DGN cell to CityGML.1) How do i ensure, that exterior rings are counter-clockwise, and interior rings are clockwise? I am using the Orientor Transformer, and setting Let-Hand-Rule, however, on surfaces, i still see (from using Inspector against the CityGML) that the polygon is right-hand rule.2) When viewing the resultant CityGML in Inspector, it is showing the wall surfaces rather strange..... some are rendered as exterior (solid) representation, some have the interior (dashed) representation.Does it matter that FME represents it in this way? or does it actually mean something? is it related to point1? These are shown as right hand rule (i want left hand rule).Thanks,Steve

Yesterday I used the FME clipper transformer to curve out unwanted portions in a polygon feature class from another polygon feature class. Both feature classes are in two separate Esri file geodatabases. It is a very simple geoprocessing operation, but it runs very very slow, measured in hours, some even became hung. Tested this in several feature class datasets, the same behavior - terribly slow. On the other hand, using the Erase geoprocessing tool in ArcGIS desktop, it finishes in 2 - 5 minutes for all the tested datasets. The results between FME and Esri Erase tool are exactly the same. So wondering why the FME clipper is so slow. I have been successfully promoting FME in my company in the last few months, but this came as a big slap on my face. I am at FME 2019.2.

I'm wondering how to use the Python Caller transformer to run the arcpy.RepairGeometry_management geoprocessing tool. I'm working with some input File Geodatabase data that's getting re-projected and producing self-intersections. The Geometry Validator transformer is identifying these but not repairing them (i.e. they come out the Failed port, not the Repaired port). I confirmed that using ArcGIS Geoprocessing tools on the same machine fixes the self-intersections, so I wanted to use the Python Caller to do the exact same thing in the context of the FME Workspace. What I'm getting is a generic error though, see below. Maybe my syntax is incorrect but I've tried a few different ways and haven't had success. Any help would be appreciated! Python Syntax:import fmeimport fmeobjectsimport arcpy # Template Function interface:# When using this function, make sure its name is set as the val

I have a query relating to raster analysis in FME Form using the RasterExpressionEvaluator I want to extract the maximum value of each pixel from a multiband raster, so for example if band 3 has the maximum value compared to bands 1 and 2 for a particular cell, only the value for band 3 for that pixel will be extracted and used in the resulting single band raster.  The syntax I believe should work for this is as follows in the attached image but I cannot get it to work. The "maximum/max" functions are unavailable in the transformer and I am thinking that this logic not be usable on data of this type or within this transformer.  Can anyone confirm if maximum syntax is workable on this transformer or even have another method of how to go about this? Thanks Andrew

How to access ADO work-items from FME ? I explored different ways like providing personal Access Token, Username password but it is giving Status code 203 Non-Authoritative Information

Hi, I'm recently working on a workflow that creates a customs IFC property set and pushes it back to an IFC file. I have gone through all the materials I can find online but still encountered a problem.  The GeometryPropertySetter successfully outputs the traits I intend to set (see column 1&2 in the attached image) but for some reason they can not be written in the IFC file. I can supply more info if required.  Does anyone know what is causing this? Thanks a lot.

I need to create a Minecraft world from the FME Workbench that is compatible with MinecraftEducation.It is possible to import a world but only in .mcworld format.I'm trying to update my workbench but it doesn't work.Help me please

I believe currently each FME Flow engine only uses one core per engine. Meaning each workspace that is being ran is only utilizing one CPU core. My question is does this also apply to Python ran through a Python Caller in the workspace when being ran in FME Flow? For example, I have a Python caller running an Esri tool and set the parallel processing of the tool to be 5 (meaning the Esri tool will use 5 cores). Does this mean the Python will use all 5 cores? Or does FME Flow still limit the Python from only being able to use one core?
