I have a set of tabluar data with attributes (X, Y, EPSG). Where the ESPG can be any valid coordinate system. My goal is to create a set of points in a common coordinate system. I understand I could use a TestFilter for each EPSG I'm expecting then create points, but the workbench will fail if the data contains an EPSG code I didn't expect. What is the best approach to create points in a single coordinate system without hard-coding the workbench for a set of expected coordinate systems? Thanks

Hi everyone, I've got to convert waypoint files to GPX files. I also need to convert txt to GPX. Please let me know if there is a work instruction for either conversion. Kind Regards, David

I have been linking S3Connector and the RasterExtentCoercer via the FeatureReader reading a downloaded COG to get its extent, but thinking about the nature of COGs, is there a way to only read the top layer overview instead of having to download the whole tiff? Downloading is ok for smallish files, but this would save a lot of time for large COG files.

I would like to be able to read all tables only from both an ESRI file gdb and our SDE db. There are additional feature classes, rasters, views and relationships in there that need to be excluded. If the view tables are captured that is okay - they all have a standard prefix of "View_" so could easily filter those out.  I was thinking I can expose the geometry and then select tables only or something. However I am having trouble figuring out the best way to do this. Perhaps this is not the best way. Basically all my tables in a single SDE gdb must be compared against tables split amongst multiple file geodatabases in another folder. So I'll merge all those file gdb's into one, and I need to be able to search through it and look at the tables only to find matches with SDE.  We have 50-ish tables and those table names can change so would like it to be dynamic. Is this possible?! :)

Is there a DotNET sample to develop a custom Factory ?

Hello,I have a pipe table (Polylines) and a manhole table (Points). I would like to spatially join the point located at each pipe start, to link the attributes of each entity. I manage without problem to find the point for the beginning of the line thanks to a NeighborFinder, but impossible for the end point. How to do ? Possible ? Thank you in advance.

Hi all, Today I wanted to set an attribute based on incoming values of an fme_feature_type name. I noticed that if I wanted to avoid getting an 'Incomplete Transformers' warning from FME, I would have to expose the fme_feature_type attribute first, before I could use it in e.g. an Attribute Value expression of e.g. an AttributeManager or AttributeCreator. Note that it was possible to disregard the warning, and the expression would still work. I wanted to avoid the incomplete (red cogwheel) warning. But as I also wanted to keep things clean in the workspace, I wanted to perform both actions in an AttributeManager; first expose fme_feature_type in the first line, and then in the second line set a new attribute using the exposed fme_feature_type attribute. However, I noticed that the AttributeManager still shows up as incomplete (red cogwheel), and if I look at the summary annotation of the AttributeManager it only shows the line about creating the new attribute, but not the first

Last week a colleague asked me to help him to help him change his dependency of an Esri licence for his workspace, which in this case meant changing from an Esri GDB reader to an OpenAPI GDB reader. In his initial implementation, an Esri GDB FeatureReader was used, in combination with a Where Clause (constructed from incoming attributes), to only read in a portion of the GDB. So for example:However, when we switched from Esri GDB to OpenAPI GDB in the FeatureReader, I noticed that the Where Clause of the FeatureReader was greyed out, so unfortunately using a where clause directly at the FeatureReader was not possible. e.g.:So from there I assumed that a Where Clause would unfortunately not be possible for the OpenAPI GDB Reader, and when using the OpenAPI GDB reader, we should just read in the whole GDB, and then filter out only the relevant features later on. This week however I am attending the FME Server Authoring course of Safe (based on the corresponding trail in the FME Academy),

Hello everyone,  I have an issue with an automatic process generating PDFs since an upgrade of FME server from FME 2017 to FME 2021. The process is quite complex but basically it creates network maps on demand. My issue is that, since the upgrade, the symbols rasterized on the maps are not rendered as usual. The symbols are imported from SVG files generated from an AutoCad dwg (because the network information is from an Autocad/Oracle DB). It uses MapnikRasterizer to produce a raster version of all the information, including the symbols as markers. I have identified the source of the difference in the rendering, it is how MapnikRasterizer handle the SVG. But I don't think it is directly related to the developement of MapnikRasterizer but how FME is integrating it and how FME handle the SVG. The SVG are made from Autocad blocks and most of them have an outline/contour of a slightly different color. So even a plain round symbol is constituted of two shapes.  My issue is that FME 2017

FME Desktop 2022: Polygons fail to be saved in esri geodatabase polygon feature class, In the screenshot below, and the attached data and workbench, I couldn’t figure out why polygons fail to be stored in esri geodatabase polygon feature class             

In a Workspace of acad2acad, some leader lines and arrows do not come through or move. RealDWG Reader and Writer solves a few scaling problems with blocks, but there remains a few leaders that don't make it or move:Before After It's not clear if the orphan leader on the left has anything to do with the annotation (different geometry and entity handle). autocad_arrow_head_on is TRUE for all. If it is something in the original CAD file, I have yet to find it. Not all leaders and arrowheads disappear.The leaders stay until it hits the Writer:Also, I am using a template that is set to the source file in order to get the paperspace titleblock. That is the only way I can get that specific paperspace info into the file (is there a better way?). If Preserve Model Space Data is set to yes, I get the leaders, but also objects that I was trying to change as well as the mystery "mirrored" orphan leader. To be clear, this occurs in multiple different drawings. Any insight is appr

I have a table called PROJECTS with some records sharing similar names. The objective is to find these records and merge them to one if possible. SamplePROJECTS table with Field1, Field2, Field3  From the above table, I want to look into Field3 and find similar names, such as Paper Company, Paper Company. and Paper Co and merge these into a single record. They are not exactly duplicates, but share a similar name. There are more records with similar names, so I can't hard-code Paper Company because there are more records alike that share similar names.  What transformers can I use to complete such task? Thank you.  

I'm attempting to dynamically map 141 different excel files containing attribute names (but no attributes) to the corresponding files that contain the actual attributes. There are 51 different files (.txt files in csv format) containing attributes for the 141 "schema" files, so a total of 7191 files containing data - none of which have attribute names in them (they all come in as col0, col1, col2...). Because there are 141 different schemas and because there might be new schemas added over time, I don't want to manually map the attribute names using an AttributeManager or AttributeRenamer. Also, they can change each year, so manually creating a schema file to use in a schema mapper doesn't make sense (the schema file containing the attribute names is horizontal, not vertical as well). I have been trying to use the FeatureReader to map the attribute name files to the attribute value files, as well as the FeatureWriter but I'm not having any success. Does anyone

Hi, I'm currently trying to create geojson with the JSONTemplater to get a txt file at the end of the process. I'm really close to get it but there is something I cannot work around. Here's my final txt file that I have right now :  { "message" : { "sucess" : true, "message" : "La tâche a fonctionné. Vous recevrez un courriel dans les prochaines minutes. Votre numéro d'analyse est le dc82c137-f34a-4fae-806a-af03f2a16cca." }, "geojson" : { "type" : "FeatureCollection", "name" : "transport_hors_norme", "features" : { "type" : "Feature", "geometry" : { "type" : "LineString", "coordinates" : "[-74.25854312432821,46.386997802914244],[-74.25854690900775,46.38701144003504],[-74.2585653228558,46.387067245480985],[-74.25858324562817,46.38711253856072],[-74.25860564958018,46.38716441447192],[-74.25863316909272,46.3872

Hi, fellow FME-ers! I have a NetCDF-file I have exported from ArcGIS Pro that I have attached (zipped). It was exported using the settings in the png-file in the same zip-file. I want to export every grid point in the file as a 3D-point with the Prediction as an attribute. Can anyone help me? I saw other threads about this but still couldn't figure out how to do it... Kind regards,Peter

I have two Workspaces. One creates a KML file of points in countries around the world the KML contains an html popup. The popup presents a link to a server app, the server app generates a static HTML Page for that country. I want to change the text "country parameter" to the country that the popup is in.The goal is to create the html only at run time.

Hi, I will calculate the average z-value of a ground surface based on a point cloud.So at the moment I am using SurfaceDraper to drap the ground on the surface. After that I am using BoundsExtractor. But here I have only the possibility to get the min_zvalue. I will get the average z-value calculated on all z-values of the polygon. How can I do this? I saw thatt there is also an elevation extracotr. But this transformer only extract the first z-value of the first coordinate. I cannot calculate the average on al z-values. Can anyone give me some help or hints?

My question is similar to this one: https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hbnqSAA/extruding-building-heights-from-3d-terrain-model-creates-sloped-buildings and Takashi's answer helped me to progress. However, in Takashi's answer, the z value of each vertex is the same (the minimum z value of the whole vertices) but I would like to keep the proper z value of each vertices and then extrude them with different elevation in order to keep a flat roof. My idea is to extract each vertices of the building footprint and extrude them with their own elevation values. SurfaceDraper: Drape the polygon by the terrain surface.VertexExtractor:Calculate elevation of each vertices (building highest altitude minus z value)Extruder: vertical using the elevation calculated beforeRebuild the 3D building geometry from those extruded vertices My question then, is there a way to rebuild the 3D buildings from those extruded 3D points (that are now lines)?   

I am currently upgrading from FME2019/ArcMap 10.8 to FME 2021.2/ArcPro 2.9. In our ArcMap workflow we use the tool VPF-to-Geodatabase via arcpy scripting:arcpy.production.VpfToGeodatabase(in_vpf_features, in_target_geodatabase, in_product, {import_notes}) Being that the tool is not yet developed for ArcPro 2.9, is there a way to force FME to recognize this is an ArcMap tool? I still have both versions of ArcMap and ArcPro installed. I've also tried the option under Translation > ESRI ArcGIS Compatibility set to "Esri ArcMap", with no luck. When changing this, it forces the Python Compatibility from 3.7 to 2.7.

For example, we have walls lines, but some times the room has only 3 wall lines. Or sometimes there is gap between wall lines. Is there way to create room shape(area or polygon)? Please see attached Sample CAD Cleaned File.dwg. This is my input dwg file. And I want to create a new layer called _Plines, this layer will have the enclosed polygn created based on the wall lines. The out put is something like CAP Level 1_RevC_MB.dwginputresult

I am experimenting with an aerial raster over a river delta trying to find the fastest way to extract centre lines over the water ways. Creating a point cloud with some sorting has resulted in a multipoint geometry that does a decent representation of the shore lines. Up until this stage the workspace is blazingly fast. But in the next step it becomes painstakingly slow. I have tried both creating a hull around the multipoints as well as buffering them. The former was slightly faster but still very slow. Are there other methods that might process faster? 

My data is all in LL84. I'm curious if I should reproject into UTM or other coordinate system before I use Buffer and Dissolver?  This is due the answer that I got for my other question https://community.safe.com/s/feed/0D54Q00009LDzFBSA1 The solution was changing LL84 into UTM and then everything found correct matches for nearest neighbor. I'm doing additional work with same data but this time applying a 4 foot buffer to each point and then running them through dissolver to see which points are near each other. It appears to work fine but after my last answer I'm thinking I should reproject the data to UTM and then do this work.  Thoughts?

However, if an old verison of file is already present in the path, then it is able to rewrite the file. But i want each time it creates a new file. Kindly suggest
