FME Form

Hi, One of our team members left the team but has still FME Desktop on his machine + the connection to the license server. How can I revoke his rights in order to use one license of our floating license server? Thanks!

I am converting a dgn file with lightweight polylines to an autocad file. The input dgn file has a size of 70 MB and when I am converting to a dwg the size becomes roughly 97 MB. The dng consists thus of lightweight polylines and during conversion to autocad there is automatically a z component in the autocad file. Based on the following page FME Creates Large AutoCAD DXF Files (safe.com) I included an autocad_original_entity_type attribute in the attributemanager with the following value autocad_lwpolyline . The size becomes then 95 MB. I would like to make the dwg much smaller, how can I make the file much smaller than 95 mb by changing somethign in the autocad writer or doing some kind of transformation.

I'm attempting to run a workspace on FME server that writes a gdb which uses an xml template file. If i upload the workspace and choose upload files, this works fine. If I try and use a parameter to set the location of the xml file and upload the file to the appropriate resource folder the process fails with an errorThe error message from ArcObjects is: {unable to open primary document entityI know the file is in the correct location as a file not found error is generated if the file isn't there. Any ideas?

The workbench is checking where lines, points and polygons intersect with 2 other datasets (one a polygon dataset, the other a line). The workbench worked when initially built but after saving and coming back it no longer runs with the following message being displayed.  Starting translation...Too many recursive macro substitutions -- line currently is: `OS_MASTERMAP_WATER_NETWORK_GML_2_DATASET "$(SourceDataset_OS_MASTERMAP_WATER_NETWORK_GML_2)"'Program TerminatingTranslation FAILED. I've attached an image of what the workbench is looking to do. Inputs are mid/mif and gz. Outputs are xls and geodatabase. Any idea why this might be happening and how to fix would be greatly appreciated.

I have a polygon and two lines inside.The Lines z is true elevation and lines snapped to area in 2d.I want it to generate points at intersection points and snap 3d to lines like in the figure.The sample data (dgn) is attached.    

I have a linear feature and need to create another linear feature perpendicular to the original feature and at a given distance along the original feature from the beginning point.  Any help as to how to accomplish this would be much appreciated.

I'd like to have the value of an attribute as a user parameter.I need to make sure tables I work with comply with a schema. The schema field names are in a CSV, imported without column headers. I aggregate the attribute which leaves me with this output:Is it possible to get the string in col0, row 1, as the default value in a user parameter to ensure my output table conforms to the schema? Thanks!

Hi I am trying to set up the trainingdatabase and are using the correct credentials that is specified in course. host: postgis.train.safe.com, port 5432, DB fmedata User fmedata PW fmedata. When test i got no answer from server. Tested in cmd and it seems to be down?..

I have a dgn file that consist of many models ( it corresponds to a building and every floor has its own model) and I would like to import the models as seperate features in FME if that would be possible. When I try to import individual feature types in the dgn reader, instead of the models I get all the level names instead that are present in the models. So the feature types do not correspond to the model names, but to the level names. So for example I would like to get a seperate feature type of a model for floor 1 and of a model for floor 2. Does anyone know how that might be achieved in FMe desktop?  

After .obj files had converted to cesium 3d tiles, buildings created transparently. When I looked behind building, I saw another building. I dont want it. I want that these buildings are opaque. Is there any way for this?Thanks!

How to compare two database schema (File GDB & SDE) including subtype & domains values.

I have an existing workspace that writes files using a fanout by a selected attribute. The workspace has been promoted to FME Server and runs on a monthly schedule. I noticed recently that the resulting number of output files was incorrect and after some troubleshooting I realized that the workspace will not work as expected unless the features are sorted by the attribute prior to being sent to the FeatureWriter with the dataset fanout by attribute. Should it be necessary to sort first? Is this something new?

I know StringSearch can look at that one selected column but I'm looking for a transformer that will search any column for a value? (similar way Visual Preview can find ??? in "any column")

The input looks like this:The result must look like this:

I'm using a geospatial pdf writer to export a map that was styled with a PDFPageFormatter. The PDF opens correctly in Adobe reader, but not in a webbrowser (Chrome/Firefox). After removing the layer by flattening the pdf (using an online tool or Ghostscript) opening the PDF in a webbrowser is possible. Is there a possibility in FME to flatten the PDF, the PDF-writer always demands a layer name... So writing without creating a layer is impossible.

Hello,Can anyone explain the difference shown below? Inside a standard workflow, the SchemaScanner captures the order of the attribute names correctly as they appear on the input file. However, when used inside of a custom transformer, the incoming attribute names are sorted alphanumerically. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? 

Hi Community, How can I read / expose the element information from a DGN file? Need to be able to read General > Description as the following screenshot shows:I have already played around with the Reader DGN parameters (e.g. read tag attributes, Read XAttributes, etc) with no success.  Any help would be much appreciated. Thank

Hi!I would like to export my datas (only attributes) on a jpeg file.I would like to create a sort of table like on excel, with blacks border and dimentionnate the columns in order to not truncate the datas. And then export an jpeg file.I used ExcelStyler and an JPEG writer, but it failed because it's not an raster format. So I tried with ImageRasterizer but I don't succeed. I'm not use to manipulate raster format. So could you give me advices to suceed?Thanks !

Is it possible to add a pdf as an underlay in a dwg file with FME? I am setting up an automated process for creating dwg-files. Im adding vectordata from a database but i would also like to include a pdf created with arcpy in my dwg. I can see from the format docs that there are attributes for xref:s but i can't figure out how to do it. I have the necessary coordinate information to place my pdf correctly, just not a way of adding it. If it's not possible to create xref:s with FME, is it possible to simply update the xref information in a template dwg-file (including position)?

I had two features that both had FME Geometry of single point that I merged together with FeatureJoiner. The result of join I have single feature with FME Aggregate, with both points inside that. My question is that I want to get the distance (preferred in feet) between the two points that are now inside a FME Aggregate.  I figure the easiest way to do this is with Python caller. I tried looking at the forum question below calling Python. However, I couldn't determine how to use it to get both my FME Points out of FME Aggregate. https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q00008z6yR3SAI/distance-calculation-per-pipe-segment If there are other suggestions, please let me know.  I'm attaching a sample FFS file with the data points. Can open and see the features each have FME aggregate with two FME points inside that.

I am currently creating a network by running nodes to a central point, using a 2d Grid as my network. I am noticing that points that should follow a similar route, sometimes take a slightly different path see below. I'm wondering if there is anything i'm missing to try and avoid this?  

For example, I have two features with different code in their field "code".These two areas overlap when I use the transformer "AreaOnAreaOverlayer"and I have a field named "overlap" where it writes "2".  But now, I would like a field to know if these overlap include the same code of no. In this example, the features (area) haven't the same code. Thank you!

Currently, we have FME Desktop 2012 installed in our system. I would like to know, that if I install FME desktop 2020.2 in the same system, will the activation key remain same or will it differ? Please suggest.
