NeighborFinder based on attributes

Hi all,is it possible to use the NeighborFinder so that it tries to find the closest feature with a matching attribute inside the maximum distance area first?My goal is to find for my base features the closest feature from the candidate features which has the same attribute, but inside the maximum distance of lets say 20 meters. And only if there is no candidate feature with the same attribute inside those 20m, find the closest feature no matter the attribute inside 20m.What would be the best way to accomplish this in FME?

I’m converting geotagged mobile photos to dwg format. Inserting them at correct photo location.All works fine except that FME automatically converts my jpeg images to png files.This results in image files (png) which are many timmes bigger then the jpeg files. Is there a way to make FME write jpeg images instead of png with the dwg writer?

ProjReprojector fails to read the source coordnate system from features

Hi there. I have encountered a problem with ProjReprojector and FME Form 2024.1.1. Source data is PostGIS and source coordinate system is EPSG:4258. With the <Read from feature> option, only the first object that arrives the transformer is reprojected. Then it fails. I have carefully checked that all features that arrives the transformer is properly tagged with coordinate system EPSG:4258. When I set the source coordinate system explicitely to EPSG:4258, everything works perfectly. Any others that have seen this behaviour? With earlier versions og FME (FME 2020), everything works perfectly. Is this another issue with FME 2024?

AreaonAreaOverlay with intersecting features

I have a table of 1600 polygons (featureset A) with most of those polygons overlapping ; they represent distance discs from a point of origin. I want to relate those polygons to another feature set (B) and calculate the %area of the intersection for each input polygon.I can’t use the AreaonAreaOverlay as is since it explicitly states in the documentation that it doesn’t expect the input features to self intersect, and this is not true for A.When I filter for a single polygon, The AreaonAreaOverlay generally gets me there, but, the problem is I want the output of all polygons. Spatial relate doesn’t give me the intersection of the features, so I can’t calculate the % area overlap. My preference would be to use geopandas.overlay and iterate over each polygon from A, but, my input data is stored in arc.SDE so converting them to gdf objects is more hassle than it seems worth to then convert back out into an FME feature object to then write to an SDE again. I tried using arcpy.analysis.Inte

Trouble parameterizing file geodatabase and feature types to read on FME Flow

The functionality works in workbench but not when creating a server app on FME Flow. The goal is to have the user select the file path to the file geodatabase and enter/select the feature class name. The schema will remain the same but the file geodatabase and the feature class name are unknown. In workbench, I can click on the three ellipses and the feature types to read pop up and I can select one. Then the process runs as expected. New feature classes will be added over time so being able to select the one you want is important. Workbench - clicking the ellipses to then select the feature type/feature class to read In the server app I am not able to click on the ellipses to select the feature class I want but instead need to type the feature class name in. When doing that, the process completes but doesn’t actually run the process because it “can’t find a feature class named that” in the file geodatabase. Even though there is a feature class with that name and there is no typo. Ser

Unable to run Esri Python 3 scripts on FME Server, even though all settings/compatibility appears to be correct

I am having issues running workspaces on FME Server that contain Python 3 (using Esri GIS Python module). This is the error I am getting: The workspace has Python Compatibility set to 'Esri ArcGIS Python 3.6+', which requires an appropriate version of ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Server. If ArcGIS is not required by this workspace, then update Python Compatibility to a non-Esri-ArcGIS Python. Otherwise, please install the required ArcGIS product, or if ArcGIS Desktop already installed, update Python Compatibility to 'Esri ArcGIS Python 2.7'. To update this setting, go to: Navigator -> Workspace Parameters -> Scripting -> Python Compatibility Environment Details: FME Desktop/Server 2021.2.5.0, ArcGIS Pro 2.8 and ArcMap 10.8.1 Per the compatibility page (https://community.safe.com/s/article/notes-on-fme-and-esri-versions-and-compatibility) ArcGIS Pro 2.8 is compatible with the version of FME I am using. In my workspace in FME Desktop, I set Python Compatibility to Esri A

Portable FME Flow/Form Python environment

The FME Python environment is a bit weird, to say the least, which makes it difficult to use in various contexts. It's a Windows Python embedded installation, with the bundled and user-installed libraries in non-standard paths. As stated by the Python doc linked above, this installation doesn't officially support using Pip for package installation (due to the sysconfig paths likely being invalid). For dependency management, I would honestly much prefer using a virtual environment, but the python311 installation bundled with FME 2023 doesn't include the venv module, so that's not even an option. At that point, I would rather just create a separate, regular python installation, manage the packages myself and tell FME to use that instead of the included one, but then I would need to move all the compiled FME libraries (and the DLLs they depend on)to that environment, and I don't see a list of that anywhere. Is there any version of the FME Python libs that can be instal

google sheet reader

Hello everyone,I am reading a google sheet with Google Sheets v4. The reader runs but it does not read some of the columns. I do not get any errors. how is that possible? I thought maybe because those columns cells are empty they can be read and then I added values in some cells but that was not the case. it still does not read them. in the workbench when I view the source data they are there in the sheet.

How to make a groug of lines straight and overlying other lines?

Hi All,Novice, here. I am trying to work with two different layers where I want one set of data to overlie another set of data. I don’t know how to move the lines, adjusting them so they will match the sister layer. I have tried Neighborfinder, anchored snapper, was looking at affiner, orientator and geometry coercer, and any other transformer I thought might work. I suspect there are many steps involved in this process, but I really don’t know where to begin. Below is an example of my data set. I would like the black lines to match the red lines. Is this doable in FME? Please let me know if more information needs to be provided. Thanks for any help. It is greatly appreciated! Version: ME(R) 2023.1.0.0 (20230825 - Build 23619 - WIN64)

Insert new row of new data if ID not exist.

The system integrate data from ArcGis API Services(source) to Microsoft SQL Spatial DB(target). When the api side have new row of data, i want to check if the data that is already pulled to DB is already existing using let say object_id field. I cannot use upsert at the writer since the flow is that we do not the want any change of pulled data since it will need to go through manual approval for any data changes. How to insert new row of data only without updating existing data?

Naviswroks to FBX to multipatch gdb?

Hello,I have a Navisworks 3D file of our facility that needs to be viewed in ArcGIS Pro and published as a 3D Scene. We exported it out to a fbx for City Engine which is then exported to a scene layer package to be viewed in ArcPro and this “works”, but we have a only layer with zero attribution. Is there a way I can either use the original Navisworks file or the fbx to break out the all the features withing the facility and create an output as a multipatch gdb? sorry for my noobnessthanks in advance.-C

Writing one field from GIS Feature Class to API Table PUT Request

Hi everyone,Curious if I could pick your brain on the workflow below.I would like to just write the asset_id field values from the GIS feature class into the corresponding assetID field in the API table. I’d want to write the asset_id from the GIS FC to the assetID field in the API table only if the assetID doesn’t exist in the API table. They have different field names.Curious where I would place the HttpCaller transformer with the PUT request in the workspace.The GIS EGDB reader would be at the start of the workspace exposing the relevant fields. Once I rename the asset_id field from the GIS feature class to match that of assetID for the API table, what would I do? Could I hook up the output from an AttributeManager directly to an HTTPCaller without a Creator?

Update Fanout expression name with date
