Why mutiplate line text attribute igds_text_width_multiplier cannot write to dgn

version: 2024I am trying to convert data from fgdb to dgn. I used AttributeSplitter and DGNStyler to reassign size and width to each text elements. Single line text is work but seem mutiplate line text attribute igds_text_width_multiplier cannot write to dgn. Is igds_text_width_multiplier in DGNStyler cannot update igds_multi_text?Remark: I tried FME 2021 is work. mutiplate line text attribute igds_text_width_multiplier can write to dgn.

Issue when adding Writer

Before I updated to Form 2024.1.2.0, when I added a writer it would automatically name the Feature/Table and assign the geometry type. Also, if there were multiple readers in the workspace the add writer function would prompt to select individual or all feature/table names associated with the readers. Now the writers have to be individually added, named, and assigned a geometry type. This can be very tedious and time prohibitive in many cases (which goes against all things FME). Is there a default setting that I’m missing?

Gx:AnimatedUpdate in kml

Can someone please sanity check me.The example in the google developers for animated updates is https://developers.google.com/static/kml/documentation/kmlfiles/animatedupdate_example.kmland it works fine.However the same code embedded in a kml generated by the FME KML writer does not work.As far as I can tell, the issue is with the name space declaration.the example uses <kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2" xmlns:gx="http://www.google.com/kml/ext/2.2"> whereas the FME kml writer produces<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:gx="http://www.google.com/kml/ext/2.2" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> Am I going crazy or does changing the declaration break the animation for anyone else?

python caller save problem

Sometimes and non-reproducible changes I have done in source code are not saved.Mostly it works but in estimated 5% my changes are lost.If I change text I always type ctrl-s, mostly two or three times. If the changes are big I type spaces and save again. I reenter the source code and look for my changes.BUT whatever I do, sometimes FME "forgets" my changes, today it forgot it, even when I ran the translation (in the control before my changes were made).Has anybody else such problems? Is there a "correct" way to save the sources or a workaround for it?I actually use the version 2016.0 (in former versions the problem was the same)Hope, anybody can help

INSPIRE GML writer - importing wrong XSD

Hi,I have a workspace transforming data to write it in INSPIRE GML format (theme Hydrography). Earlier this year, some of the INSPIRE application schemas (XSDs) where upgraded to a new version Include changes from 2024.1 schema release · Issue #1027 · INSPIRE-MIF/helpdesk-validator, including the hy-p one that I’m using here (v4.0 to v5.0).Therefore I changed my INSPIRE GML writer to point to the new XSD URI and adapted the xsi:schemaLocation parameter consequently. However, when indicating the v5.0 the output GML is not written correctly: there are remnants of the v4.0 in it.First in the imports, see xmlns:hy-p4 and xmlns:hy4:<gml:FeatureCollection xmlns:omor="http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/omor/3.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:sr="http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/sr/4.0" xmlns:base="http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/base/4.0" xmlns:gts="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gts" xmlns:hy-n="http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/hy-n/4.0" xmlns:omop="

Reading API and extracting geometry

Hi, I am retrieving data through an API using an HTTP caller. The data consists of points and lines. My plan is to pull this data, perform some attribute mapping, and then POST it to a website. However, I'm having trouble extracting geometry after flattening the JSON data. I used a Geometry Replacer, but it fails every time I run it. The error message says:INVALID_PARAMETER_GEOMETRY_SOURCEI would appreciate any assistance with this!

Is there a way of working with GraphQL APIs using the HTTPCaller transformation?

I am in the process of working on an integration between Cityworks and ArcGIS Urban. While I am well-versed in using the HTTPCaller transformer for REST APIs in FME Desktop, after s few hours of working with an HTTPCaller, the only way I was able to make a GraphQL API call was using a PythonCaller with some custom code using the requests library. For now, the PythonCaller route will work well enough, but I would rather lean on the HTTPCaller for when others have to take over this integration who are not Pythonistas.

ArcSDEQuerier - database client sofware failed to load

I authored some scripts years ago that use the ArcSDEQuerier transformer to query for records in a versioned 10.1 ArcSDE Geodatabase. The machine that FME resides on has FME 2019.3.1, both ArcGIS 10.1 and ArcSDE 10.1, and both Oracle 32-bit (ArcGIS) and 64-bit (ArcSDE) clients installed. The scripts have worked for years without issue. Recently, I’ve had to modify them a bit and on a development FME machine, the ArcSDEQuerier transformer works fine, but promoting them to another same-build FME machine has had some odd results. If I use the exact scripts/workspaces from the dev machine, the ArcSDEQuerier throws the error seen below. Or if I open scripts that were already on this machine, untouched, the ArcSDEQuerier also throws the same error: However sometimes, and I stress sometimes, if I open a brand new workspace and add a single ArcSDEQuerier, I can connect to the same DB using the same credentials without issue: I know the obvious answer is that something has changed with ArcSDE,

Passing published parameter into Schemamapper within a custom transformer

Hi Everyone, I tried to make use of the schemamapper transformer to create a new output excel spreadsheet which takes a customised schema csv file as an input. The problem is that the schema file sits within a random folder (date time stamp temp folder name - e.g. 20190903100000) each time the workbench run. (PS: the randomised folder is created at the beginning of the workflow and being passed through as an attribute value).Due to the randomised temp folder name which i tried to pass into the schemamapper as the dataset, I am not able to pass it through. I then tried to create a custom transformer where i can pass the temp folder name via attribute value > published parameter for the custom transformer. The new problem I have now is that the custom transformer does not appear to be able to pick up the attribute value (which has become a published parameter) in the dataset field within the schemamapper.It always throws an error shows "ERROR |CSV reader: Failed to open file &#39

Is this an error in the training materials about the VertexCreator?

Hi Team, I'm doing the training for FME Professional, using FME Desktop 2022.2 and am now at https://safe.my.trailhead.com/content/safe/modules/turn-coordinates-into-geometry/exercise-turn-coordinates-into-geometry-using-the-vertexcreator-transformer . The last question on this page is about VertexCreator making a line instead of a point geometry. The question gives the impression that creating a line using this transformer is "a feature" from that transformer (and values the answer given accordingly), while the page https://community.safe.com/s/article/Known-Issue-VertexCreator-creates-lines-instead-of-points clearly shows that this is a glitch that was corrected in later versions. I suppose it was never intended for the VertexCreator transformer to create line instead of point geometry at whatever Mode setting? Besides, in FME Desktop 2022.2 I can't reproduce the "feature" anyway (which makes sense as the "error" was supposed solved in recent ver

How to properly merge three separate features?

I have three separate CSVs (readers below in yellow) to which I have added several transformers. I first added a “AttributeFilter” to filter through two values. I then connected to an “AttributeValueMapper” to map the previous two values to given names. Then I added a “StatisticsCalculator” to sum the values within these two values. Then an “ExpressionEvaluator” to convert the values from feet into miles and after an “AtributeRenamer” to rename the field names. Lastly, I added an “AttributeCreator” to add a third field of data. This is seen in the picture below of my workflow. At the end of the workflow, I added an “AttributePivoter” in an attempt to merge all of these together before attaching a Writer and exporting the results as an Excel Sheet. I am not sure the AttributePivoter might be the best way to merge all of this. What would be a better approach before adding the Writer?Thanks!

Perform date conversions within rasters

I have a raster wherein the values are in epoch time (number of days since 1970-01-01)Is there a way in FME to convert these values into different date formats, such as yyyyddd?DateTimeConverter seems to only work with attributes, but translating all pixels to polygons with attributes for the pixel value is not optimal. I would guess this could be possible with RasterExpressionEvaluator, but if someone can give an example that would be really helpful. Thanks!

I built Excel file attribute feature joiner workflow and I am happy for that.

Hi folks, I had some urgent need at my workplace, as the GIS database administrator working in a electricity distribution company, I was required to draft out various district data to be used by another department which will require me to decode and clean the data to enable them understand the data format based on their needs. I tried using manual method of copy and past after extracting this data from the database but it was time consuming.I tried FME and I was able to create a workflow using two transformers FeatureJoiner and Matcher and I am happy how this workflow was able to query the two excel files added to the left and right part of the FeatureJoiner transformer thereby giving me the output based on joined attributes file, one is coming as a number and varchar.

Transposing lists into multiple groups

I’m trying to output all property sets from IFC files into separate Excel sheets. So far I’ve found all of the property sets, their attributes and their attribute values. This is my data:What I would like to do is transpose this list into separate lists for each property set like so: After that I could simply write each list to separate Excel sheets, but this is where I get stuck. I create the sheets by feeding the writer from a DuplicateFilter, but how do I join each PsetAttribute to Pset as well as transpose the data so each PsetAttribute is a single column?I need to do it without knowing the exact names or number of property sets existing in each IFC file as well.

Clipper

Hello, I want to cut raster data with a shape data. There are 10 objects in the shape data and 10 raster data. Sometimes the objects in the shape data overlap. There is a column in the shape data that contains the names of the raster data. I want to cut each raster data with only the object with this name. I couldn't find the result despite trying very hard. I am using the clipper transformer. If you have any advice on this subject, I would be very happy.

Chart creation through PythonCaller?

GDA2020 gotchas - Australian Datum shift

Hi AllA few learned gotchas in regards to GDA2020 transformations.- Dont use the Navigator to convert datums GDA94 > GDA2020 as it defaults to 7 param (unless thats what you want)- Reprojector Transformer is seemingly default to 7Param when it should default to gridshift (have a call logged with Safe)- CSMapReprojector - if you are using Desktop this is the best to use as you can force the transformation from the dropdownHowever if you are going to server and you want the user to select the output coordinate system which may or may not include a transformation you need to automate which method you use by setting it with either a parameter or a conditional value based on the selected coordinate system code Lots of fun to be had but some caution as well. No transformation is the same.
