FME Form

Is it possible to map an AUTOCAD Attribute prompt rather than the AUTOCAD attribute Tag to the FME Input Attribute for the purpose of extracting AutoCAD block data. I am trying to gab the following data from AutoCAD. All the properties have a tag name of - so only the last one (SCALE) is able to be mapped currently. Can this be done please? Thanks.

 I am trying to set the annotation scale options for a block in CAD but I cannot seem to find the proper attribute or setting. I want to be able to set the available annotative scales similar to how its done for text below in the DWG styler. I want to have these scales preloaded for my block as seen below.  

I'm running into a small issue in the canvas. When I start typing "AS" in the transformer search bar, I expect AttributeSplitter to pop up, but it doesn't show in the suggestions. 

Is it possible to generate a separate log file or configure the existing log file to display metadata for the reconciliation purposes. The field that I am looking to display is the feature count in input file, feature count in both output file, who executed the workspace with timestamp, the amount field totals in the input file and the amount field totals in the 2 output files ( I have a workspace where there is 1 input file and 2 output files) . Also I have noticed that FME overwrites to the same log file every time the workspace is executed, is it possible to create a unique log file at every run? Thank you for the support. 

Hello,Does FME has some kind of DefaultCoordinateSystemSetter? I've created an FME workspace that dynamically transforms FileGDB layers into an Oracle SDE database. For this, I need the Oracle SRID and ESRI WKT coordinate system descriptions. To get these, I use the CoordinateSystemDescriptionConverter transformer (handy tool!). However, there are tables without geometry (which crash the ESRI WKT conversion, luckily a TestFilter or something similar fixes that). But it gets worse when geometries enter the workspace that DO have coordinates, but NO coordinate system. Setting the coordinate system on the reader doesn't work because I expect multiple coordinate systems in the data, and setting one of them as the default on the reader will incorrectly overwrite data with a different coordinate system.So here's what I need to do:Extract the existing one (CoordinateSystemExtractor) Test if it resulted in an empty value (Tester) Set the "default" coordinate system (CoordinateSystemSetter) Re-

Hi, Has anyone went through issue with the Value doesn't fall within the Domain” in a File Geodatabase ?Even though the description is already there   See screenshotI am currently dealing with it and it is a lot of work…Is there a workaround to fix the error ?The reason I am asking is because I have to go back to the Recreation.gov website and re-do again and reviw to ensure I choose the right one.I am using ArcGIS Pro 3.3.6 in a Citrix envirnoment 

Earlier I asked about writing out DGN files with coordinate system.That's apparently not possible until now. But I would like to know how I can use seed files to get at least the symbology of a seed file into the DGNV8 writer. I referenced the seed file in the settings part of the DGNV8I reference a cell file in the settings as well I read my data in, define the level names in an AttributeManager based on the input data, use the PROJReprojector, to adjust the input data to the coordinate system of the seed file, and connect to a dynamic DGNV8 writer. In the DGNV8 writer I am missing the possibility to state that colour, style and weight will be used on the level, and not the individual object in the level. The level and level overrides section in the writer I cannot understand. My output dgn consists of multiple levels, yet the settings seem to point at one level only.Hence, I do not know how to configure the writer correctly.Leaving the level settings part undefined, but setting

Hi all.I just ran into a curious problem. I tried to generate a buffer around my data, exporting it to GML. The problem is that QGIS won’t open the generated GML.I found that the GML data contained geometry errors (OGC Simple), and that these in part was made by the Bufferer transformer !??When I debug run a GeometryValidator->Bufferer->GeometryValidator setup, only running passed+repaired features into the Bufferer, the second GeometryValidator outputs failed geometries, i.e. output by the Bufferer..Is this a known problem ?CheersUsing 2025.2 beta

Hi all,I’m trying to read a shapefile that is stored inside a ZIP file which itself is embedded inside another ZIP. I want FME to read it directly from the download URLI tried with https://url/data.zip[shp.zip] but did’nt work. any idea if its possible?Thanks

 Hello, I use FME Forms 2024 and I have a very basic workbench just to test the emailer transformer and the configuration of our email system.The Emailer is the following version When I run I have this error and it fails: <class 'socket.gaierror'>: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed Any Idea ?Is it a probleme of mail smtp mail server accessibility. What is the configuration to adapt ?RegardsFred ​​   

Do you know the best way to convert a Raster.gdb (with 31 records and no Length or Area fields) to Vector .gdb (would have probably around 5 million records)  in FME ? The only unique field is OBJECTIDI used RasterToPolygonCoercer but it is not bringing any of the attributes from the Raster dataset to the vector dataset- everything is blank Also I want the new vector data to be smoothed if possible.

Hi!I’m using FME Workbench 2022.I’m trying to insert some data in a table in PostgreSQL. The table has a composite key, like this: (id, feed_id, env_id). The table, obviously, has the constraint: CONSTRAINT agency_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id, feed_id, env_id).In FME, I’m reading from a GTFS file, doing some transformations, and then, trying to write into the DB with a FeatureWriter using PostgreSQL as Format. I have all the configurations right. I checked it so many times, and before posting this question, I talked to some experienced mates.The problem I have is, in runtime, the FeatureWriter is not adding the attribute called “id” to the insert, so the database is sending the error “null value in column id violates not null constraint”. It happens with and without bulk mode.Now I’ll provide some images for visual context and information.Flux:Data in logger:FeatureWriter Parameters:FeatureWriter User Attributes:I added the Debug to the log to see what is happening in the FeatureWriter. This i

I'm trying to reproject a DWG file from AGD 1966 ISG 56 (EPSG:102077) to GDA2020 Zone 56 (EPSG:7856). I'm using the original DWG as a template to preserve layers, colours, line styles, etc.I've set up a workbench to handle the reprojection and all the data looks good and in the correct location when viewed at the final step in the inspector:However, when I open the output DWG, most of the data is correctly reprojected (matching what I see in the Inspector) but some features remain in the original coordinate system, thus showing up in Antarctica:Zoomed in at the portion in Antarctica:I've tried several troubleshooting steps:A simple read/write workbench Writing to DXF instead of DWG Using the RealDWG reader/writer Using default DWG reader settings (no customisation)I saw this question is similar to mine, but I didn’t have any luck writing to dxf instead:None of these things have fixed the issue. It seems to mostly affect text features, although some text is reprojected correctly, so I'm

I have been trying to find a good use for the ‘ai assist’ function. I don’t think it has ever succeeded in providing a useful answer. Have any of you had any luck?Or do you also copy paste to a real ai?In this example I needed a SQL Query edited, but my request was invalid for no reason. When I post in any other LLM I get a thorough response and description of this and that.My overall questions is probably, why is the FME implementation so poor? Is this spelling the early signs of the end for FME? 

Hi Everyone,I’m new to FME. Currently, I use FME to convert IFC4 LOD 300 to CityGML 2.0 LOD 4. It happened that a long railing can make the size of one CityGML feature exceed 1 GB, and it’s challenging to import it into 3DCityDB. I have to divide the railing into pieces so that each CityGML feature won’t exceed 200 MB. As shown, the railing has 1270 parts of MultiSurface. I’m thinking of splitting it into 1270 CityGML objects.First, I tried the “Deaggregator” transformer. But when it is written to CityGML with other feature types, the divided geometry cannot be viewed. The file size is small, so I believe the divided geometry wasn’t written into the CityGML file. However, if I only convert the divided geometry into the CityGML file. The file size is 1.4GB, and it can be viewed in FME Data Inspector. Here is the screen capture of my workbench.I have no idea what was wrong. I was thinking it could be due to the geometry structure being changed. Originally, it was Geometry->MultiSurfac

Anyone having this issue ? Even if everything is fine with the parameters in the transformer, I see the red arrows. When I zoom in / out everything is ok. Kind of annoying. I’m using 2025.1.3.  

I feel like everytime I try the PythonCaller I really struggle with the scripting and usually switch to a start up script to avoid it. Can anyone help me figure out why I don’t have any outputs when I run this in my PythonCaller.  import fmeimport fmeobjectsimport reclass FeatureProcessor:    def __init__(self):        pass    def input(self, feature):        """        Processes a feature to extract and set address components.        Args:            feature (fmeobjects.FMEFeature): The feature containing the address attribute.        """        # Retrieve the address attribute from the feature        address = feature.getAttribute('ADDRESS')        # If the address is missing, set all related attributes to empty strings        if not address:            for attr in ['Suite', 'AddressNumber', 'StreetName', 'StreetType', 'Direction', 'Street']:                feature.setAttribute(attr, '')            return        # Split the address into suite and core address parts        parts = [p.

Hello FME Community, Salesforce recently announced the retirement of their SOAP API login().  Are there plans to replace the current Salesforce readers and writers or update them to support Salesforce’s OAuth 2.0 Flow?  Currently the readers and writers use /services/Soap/u/51.0 which will be retired in the Summer 27 release.  I’ve used these a good bit in production workspaces, so need to start mapping out some transition plans.  For retrieving data, the SalesforceConnector will work, but it’s nice to be able to write and update data with a drop in transformer rather than setting up HTTP callers with Salesforce’s REST API. Any thoughts on the current plan for the Salesforce readers/writers or ideas on how to make this transition seamlessly? 

Would be great to be about to output Dynamic blocks to AutoCAD, things likeVisible states and Flip setting would be great, Distances for stretch, rotation and Alignment parameters might be a bit harder to achieve.

Hello,is there any version of FMEFORM 2025 that will allow me to select a coordinate system in the reader from outside the short list without automatically closing the entire application? I checked 2025.1.1 and 2025.1.3. or is there any tip to do this? I tried different scenarios and always when i am trying to open More coordinate systems the application closed by itself.Regards Artur Gustowski  

Hi,I created a parameter in my custom transformer of the following form:PARAMETER_NAME: LRF_FILEPARAMETER_TYPE: OPTIONAL FILE_OR_ATTR LRF(*.lrf)|*.lrfPARAMETER_PROMPT: Label Rule File:PARAMETER_DEFAULT: $(FME_MF_DIR)No matter what value I enter for the Parameter_Default, the file box on the transformer GUI always initially shows up empty in Form. Can someone suggest what I’m doing wrong?Thanks,Martin

Hello,I have a configuration table that my FME workspace reads to update a GIS database. This table includes ArcSDE database connection information. The workspace dynamically reads each database connection one at a time and passes it to the Feature Reader. Because it's dynamic, all features are routed through the generic port.Currently, I use an AttributeExposer to make feature attributes available for processing. However, this requires manual updates whenever database schemas change, which is problematic since the workspace runs on a schedule.Is there a way to automatically expose attributes at runtime, based on the schema of the next database being read, so I can eliminate the need for manually updating the AttributeExposer? Thank you, 

My current FME Server setup includes a CORE/2 Engines set up on one machine with another Engine-Only Host running remotely on another machine. Recently, I noticed jobs on the remote machine queuing up and never processing. Restarting the FME Server Engines Windows service temporarily fixed the problem. But only for a few hours. I don't see any errors in logs. But I've just switched to debug level logging for more info and hope to capture some. What I do notice is that in FME Server web console, under licensing & engines, the remote engine just won't show up. Once I restart the service, I see it under both the Engines tab and the Deployment Status tab, until it disappears again. Unlikely this is service account related (as other similar post/solutions suggest) since I can restart service and then it runs for a bit. I did make a change regarding domain controller/Active Directory recently but rolled that back and it didn't solve the issue. I am not aware of any other

Hi all, My colleague and I are preparing to do the Form and Flow certification exams. We use our work laptop to start Talview. The laptop only has FME Form 2024 (scripted). We would like to remote desktop onto our azure virtual machine to access Form 2025 for the exam.  This machine is also set up for publishing to Flow.Will Talview allow access to a remote machine for the exam? Thanks,Annette
