Hello everyone, I have a question with regard to preserving the pattern style of hatches in DWG files.  I have a simple DWG file with two lines (blue), one text (yellow), a dimension (magenta), and a polygon (blue) which is filled with a hatch (cyan):  If I now simply read the DWG file with a REALDWG reader and do nothing but write it again with the REALDWG writer, the hatching pattern looks very different in the result - which is basically because the lines of the hatching pattern are much closer together than they were in the original DWG file:More details below. Does anyone know how I need to parameterize reader and/or writer such that the pattern style of the hatch is preserved 1:1? In the REALDWG reader, I already linked the read-in DWG file as a "Template File". This helped to preserve the styling of the dimension but unfortunately not with regard to the pattern style of the hatch.  Here some more details:Regarding the parameterization of the REALDWG reader, I only unch

Hello, Is there a way to read Garmin format TCX and FIT ? I can't find any info regarding readers for these 2 formats. Thanks

I'm using an ArcGIS Feature reader to read a layer with two tables. After reading the two tables, I join them. I add and remove many attributes. The last step of the workspace is to use an ArcGIS Feature writer to populate a layer.  In the past when I've done this, the ArcGIS Feature writer created the ArcGIS feature service. Can I write to an existing feature service? ArcGIS Online (AGOL) field names must be 31 characters or less and not have spaces or other special characters (underscores are fines). Display names are also supported which can be longer than 31 characters and have spaces.  Ideally, I'd like to specify a list of attributes with data types for the feature service.  Questions:Can I create an FME workspace to write to an existing ArcGIS feature service? This is an ArcGIS question, but I'd like to easily create ArcGIS feature service based on a list of field names and data types. I think that I can do this in Python, but I don't know Python.

I have a workspace with dozens of Readers & Writers that all point to the same database, all using the same connection. How to point all the relevant Feature Types to a single Reader/Writer definition, and then delete all the duplicates?(and then I'll need only one User Parameter!)  An output Feature Type let's me select which Writer to use, but input Feature Types have Reader field disabled. Why? How do I enable the UI control? 

We are wanting to check one feature service and one field in that service and whether it changed from "Sampled" to 3 other options. If it did change we want to send an email to let us know what the unique ids that did change. How would we use change detector to accomplish this task? We would like to schedule a task each night in FME server to send the email.

Hi,I haven't yet seen this - I cannot connect 2 transformers. It seems like there is something downstream the flux that prevents the connection.I captured the behavior in gif: I have Workbench 2020.0.1.Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

We have a CSV located in the following directory on our FME Server. We receive the following warning whenever we run a job that utilizes the CSV: USERNAME FME Server: SSL certificate verification failed for host 'MACHINENAME.DOMAINNAME.com:443'.

I have developed a workbench in 32-bit FME 2021.1.1.2 which is reading ArcSDE DB with ArcFM (32-bit) and 64bit background processing installed. I have ArcGIS 10.6.1 installed. This workbench has been published to 64bit FME Server 2021.1.0.1. The error i am getting after setting up the scheduler in FME Server is "Could not open Enterprise Geodatabase. The error number from ArcObjects is : -2147.... The error message from ArcObjects is : {Underlying DMBS error [Unknown errorNo Extended error.]}" The workbench runs fine in a standalone mode without FME Server. Is the issue due to compatibility issues between 64-bit FME Server and 32-bit ESRI products or the the version difference between 2021.1.x between FME Desktop and FME Server ?

Issue: I can set the Alternative and retrieve data from that Smallworld alternative, but only once at a time.  Current work around: I have to clear the Alternative parameter, cache the Reader, and then re-enter the Alternative name and re-run the workspace. Potential cause: It seems to me like the Reader moves into the Alternative on the first run and then when I run it again it cannot find the Alternative because it is already in it. Which is why I need to cache it without a value in the Alternative parameter, effectively moving back out of that alternative. More details: In the smallworld environment I have moved into the alternative of interest ( mainly for testing ), do I need to stay in TOP?I am not writing back into Smallworld just reading out. Potential Fixes: I have tried messing around with 'Export Changes from baseline' but that does not seem to help.

Hello I am using FME 2021.2 on an AWS machine and am connecting to an Oracle DB on-prem, but the connection is very slow. I currently have SQL Developer setup on the AWS machine and its connection to Oracle is as expected (fast). Issue:When I test the connection in FME it can take several minutes to recieve the pop-up saying 'successful connection'.I am using TNS and have setup the tnsnames.ora file I dont get any warnings or errors in the log When I use the same file for SQL Developer its response is very fastDoes anyone have any suggestions as to how to speed up that connection?

I have a tester that checks if the user entered something into a user parameter. If they don't enter something then I want to create a new record. Currently it tests for the null and then it essentially stops as no data comes through. I want to create the data thorough a series of calculations. How do I do that?

Hi. I am trying to model some buildings' roofs in LoD2 using point clouds(las) and some shp files from arc gis, but I cannot find the right transformation. I have seen the sixth demo in this webinar, https://www.safe.com/webinars/gain-total-control-of-your-lidar-and-point-cloud-data/but they are just roofs in LoD1.Can someone help me how to do that?Many thanks

Hi, I have a workbench setup, it reads a database connection, does some transformations, then write to our Enterprise GIS Portal. The writer is setup to overwrite/truncate the feature layer data,  and it has been running successfully for months, but I have now noticed it is failing. I had some issues getting the workbench setup, I think I had some forums post about it as we had to rename some fields and use replace some strings as some characters were causing problems.  But all them got sorted and it was working fine. The error message is:ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Writer: Could not retrieve metadata for layer/table ID 0 of Feature Service at 'https://maps.middlesbrough.gov.uk/server/rest/services/Hosted/ReportIT_Firmstep/FeatureServer'. The error code from the server was '500' and the message was: 'Connection to IT-ARCGIS-ENT.MBRODOM.NET:9876 refused. Check that the hostname and port are correct and that the postmaster is accepting TCP/IP connections.'I thought it may be a firewall

FME 2022.1 64-bit Personal Geodb Reader - Reading feature type as case-sensitive. Where as 32-bit Personal Geodb Reader in earlier versions used to read feature type name as case-insensitive. Is there a way to make FME 2022.1 64-bit Personal Geodb Reader to read feature type as case-insensitive? 

I am trying to create a pdf file using the straight line diagram. I have a data file with the Road reseals as lines and I would like to be able to show the distance or length of the Reseal, the Year Applied, and stone size as a stacked straight line chart. This will then show the overlaps as well. Many years ago we used to do the very same thing on paper, in a book, by hand so we could see the surfaces applied to the roads over time. I am currently reviewing or trying to, do some analysis and update what we had on paper into a modern approach. I have watched the video of it being used here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tPhZMSrnYw at the end of the webinar but I am struggling to sort it out given it was a very short session at the end. I would like some more specifics or how to on setting it up, or even a sample workspace may be the one from the demo would be a good example to follow. This is a great tool as it can be used for many other things like Pavement, Road Construction by y

Hello all, I'm a newbie to the Azure Storage Connector and stuck at authentication. The file storage connector errors. The Hub readme link for authorizing access to my account goes to REST API documentation, not very helpful, I need to know what to do in the Azure portal console to make things work. Is there any doc out there? Thanks.

Hello,  I try to read the attribute"IFCPROPERTYSINGLEVALUE" with FME. Unfortunately this does not work,in the "list builder" I can see the attribute "IdentityData.Assembly Code" only it is empty. While in the data with GlobalId"0q2mDI5en2pRRKYDPxu88G" it does have an attribute. How can I make this data visible withina workbench so that it can be filtered.  I added the .ifc as a text file, thereis already some described on the forum of how to read the"IFCPROPERTYSINGLEVALUE" only I didnt get it working.

Hello FME community, I have loaded a text file as CSV into the workflow so that a table is created.This then looks like this:I need a process that can work independently of the number of attributes but according to a pattern. Therefore I have converted these attributes into a list. Here is an excerpt from it: (fme_basename: 102)_list{0}.col2   892_list{0}.col3   1448_list{0}.col4   48_list{0}.col5   70_list{0}.col6   874_list{0}.col7   1628_list{0}.col8   50_list{0}.col9   78 The pattern looks like this:col2 and col6 belong in one attribute (x)col3 and col7 belong in one attribute (y)col4 and col8 belong in one attribute (dx)col5 and col9 belong in one attribute (dy) So every 4th element belongs to the same attribute.I would like to change the list so that the index can be set according to the pattern. This would then have to look like this: _list{0}.col2   892_list{1}.col3   1448_list{2}.col4   48 _list{3}.col5   70 _list{0}.col6   874_list{1}.col7   1628_list{2}.col8   50_list{3}.col
