FME Form

I want to write out a bunch of MapInfo tables, placing multiple tables into multiple folders. My folder structure is about ten folders named after Districts. The District name is a value in one of the columns. How do I tell FME Desktop to fanout to a different folder based upon the value of the District name?

Hello!We have a new software package that imports KMZ/KML to another KMZ/KML format, and cannot take the standard google earth created KMZ. This is causing us issues, as 99% of the kmls we get to import are in the standard XML Format. What is the best approach I can take or transformer to use in order to convert the different KML formats? I attached two examples. One we received from someone to import, and the template that the vendor needs to import.

I've got a very big feature class which contains more than 12,000,000 polygons and I need to use TopologyBuilder and other transformers to do some processing, but it took too much time for TopologyBuilder to process the dataset. So I came up an idea that I split the dataset into several some small feature classes which contain less polygons. Now I only need to run my workspace repeatly through WorkSpaceRunner, but WorkSpaceRunner seems can not process feature classes in the GDB one by one, I have to export feature classes in to separate GDBs to get it work, but exporting processing also took a lot of time and made my folder very complex. So is there any way to iterate through GDB? I'd appreciate any @suggestion, thank you!

My dataset is a shapefile with footprints and elevation.

I am in the process of converting DGNs to SVGs for use as symbols in ArcGIS Pro. I am able to filter out the Text in the DGNs and assign a stock Windows Font. However the text reference is not being passed to ArcGISPro and the the text component of the symbol is lost. I am looking for a transformer or a set of transformers that will allow me to take the text in the DGN and convert it to a graphic, that DOES NOT reference a Windows stock .ttf file.  I have looked at the TextStroker but the outputs are inconsistent and messy looking as compared to the original DGN text, and I am also having trouble finding a way to fill in the TextStroker output.  To clarify, the ETL that I currently have successfully displays the text in the output SVG in a Web Browser. The only location that does not see the .ttf reference is ArcGIS Pro (the final, required, destination).

Hi I have a video in mp4 format, this video i need to convert to jpeg or jpg or any other imagery format with geotagged, please help us how to create video to imagery in fme

I have tested different transformer and way, but I don't understand how to apply an input in order.

The data conversion from the oracle database to dgn works fine. I see in Microstation that the coordinates are identical with the counterparts in the Oracle database. However, Microstation doesn't seem to know that it has a coordinate system. It says <coordinate system not set>.  In processes 'downstream' requires that the dgn files have a coordinate system for further usage. This is now a manual step, that we want to avoid. Is someone familiair with this and knows how we can setup FME to write the coordinate information? 

Trying cell value based colors in Excel. ExcelStyler is simple and straight forward. Still I am missing some fundamental principle is missing. Attached workbench has very easy example to demonstrate how I mange to create non-formatted excel file.

HiI have two datasets, one water distribution area in polygons, and a point layer with the count of people inside each household per adress. i want to count up the sum of people in total for an each area. The count of people is in the point layer. i have tried the pointoverareaoverlayer but i only get the count of points inside an area, not the count from people inside the area

Hi,I have a smart solid model of a building made in Bentley. I would like to drop solid and take the top view drawing out. Solid dissolver is not working. Any help is greatly appreciated

Hello thereI was wondering if it's possible to write to geodatabase relationship classes where the source is not a geodatabase, so you don't have the "OBJECTID" to set as the "geodb_oid". I'm reading in some CAD data and am inserting records into 1 feature class and 1 table in a defined File Geodatabase that already has the relationship class setup (non-attributed), and want those 2 objects related. All the examples I've seen of writing to geodatabase relationship classes seem to have a Geodatabase-type source with already-defined OBJECTID values as attributes. I may have missed some documentation, or have done some tests incorrectly, but is it possible to somehow create the "geodb_oid" at runtime or would this have to be a 2 step process (i.e. 1) write data to feature class and table and 2) write relationships)?I know this is a bit vague but hopefully there's enough information that someone knows the answer!Thanks

I installed FME server 2021.2.2 and I have a problem in the gestion of the coordinates system NTF.Lambert-2E-ClarkIGN. It seems that FME server doesn't recognized this coordinates system and thinks it's NTF.Lambert-2C-ClarkIGN. We tested with FME desktop 2021.2.2 and FME server 2021.2.3 and the coordinates system is recognized. Do you know if there is a problem with FME server 2021.2.2 and the coordinates system NTF.Lambert-2E-ClarkIGN ?

Welcome to What's Up Wednesday, your weekly FME news roundup. EsriReprojectorAnyone who tuned into the sneak peek broadcast yesterday was treated to an in-depth look at the EsriReprojector transformer and what has changed in 2022.  The two main upgrades are time-based coordinate reprojection and vertical datums.  The time element is controlled by the coordinate systems selected and the Epoch parameter. A separate set of parameters control the Vertical Datums.  And, yes, I asked and you can do both at once! That's the final sneak peek I had planned. But I've got used to streaming with guests on a Tuesday afternoon, so, I'll try and line up more presentations, whether they be sneak peeks or something else, to keep us both educated and entertained. Women in TechOn the agenda for March is a webinar titled Empowering Women in Tech.   It's not about FME, per se, but about the women who work at Safe and how their careers progressed. If that's of interest to you, we hav

Good Evening, Firstly, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, or if there is a private message function that I haven't found. But I am looking to use FME to automate stream delineation via LiDAR derived raster analysis. I noticed your comment under this forum post (https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080haNDSAY/generates-drainage-networks?t=1645628766878). I have downloaded your workflow and taken a look at some of the processes and was wondering if FME has had any updates to further the scope of my goal. Or if you have came across any new/better processes yourself since posting your suggestion. Once again, if this is not the proper place to leave this comment, I apologize. Please reach out at your earliest convenience.

Hi, i have a attribute field that contains value more than 8 charecter.I want to limit it to 8.

I use to run the conversion process of GeoTiff to ECW with compression of 90 and generate TAB file using FME2020, i never experienced any issue. I recently upgraded FME to 2021.2, I have to convert JP2 to ECW with compression of 90 and want TAB file as well. I ran the process multiple time, but I don't get TAB file generated in output folder. Even I found new attribute in this FME version, where it asks to select ECW Format version (2 or 3), which one to select..?

I am having issues setting an attribute within a python caller. I am reading in a list of strings, mutating the components in the list, then trying to overwrite the same list. Currently, the results of the output are the same as the input.Below is an example of how I am doing it.x = feature.getAttribute(list{}.item)for i in len(x):     <mutate items in list>feature.setAttribute("list{}.item", x)Can anyone let me know why this is not working, and how I can fix this? Thank you.

I only see that a couple of specific workflows are listed for conversion to 3D Tiles - these include Wavefront OBJ, CityGML, geojson, shp, and FGDB...We would like to simply input raster imagery and elevation (geotiff for instance) and output 3D Tiles.An example workflow that would be acceptable if supported:Raster geotiff imagery to TMSRaster geotiff elevation to TBD FME Mesh format most optimized for conversion to 3D TilesTMS Imagery and FME Mesh to 3D Tiles (b3dm format) 

I tried to display CityGML data in FME Desktop Workbench 2022 (Build 22282 - macosx) and got the following message, when trying to access the 3D Window:3D mode is not supported on this platform. OpenGL 2 or above is required for 3D rendering. Will there be a FME Desktop Version for the Silicon Macs? Soon?kind regardsPeter

How do I create a WGS84 coordinate system whose units are milliarcseconds (1/1000th of arc second) in MyCoordSysDefs.fme? Not exactly sure what I really need... This is my guess.UNIT_DEF MILLI_SEC               \\    UNIT_TYPE ANGLE           \\   UNIT_ABBREVIATION DEG_MILLI_SEC      \\      UNIT_FACTOR 0.00000000484813681109535  COORDINATE_SYSTEM_DEF WGS84-MilliSec\\  DESC_NM "WGS84 milli (1/1000) arcsecond " \\  GROUP "WORLD"                  \\  PROJ LL                     \\  UNIT MILLI_SEC                   \\  DT_NAME WGS84 Should  UNIT_FACTOR be 0.00000027777777777777777  for conversion to meter & UNIT_TYPE be LENGTH? Thx,Mark  

I define the parameters of the TUREF_TM36 system, which is the national coordinate system of Turkey, and create an FME file. Then I throw the file I created into the documents/coordinate file. then I define it with tools/patch via workbenc but it doesn't read my file. what do you think i should do

Hi all,i am trying to connect with a Azure blob storage container, with the AzureBlobStorageConnector transformer in fme 2020.0.2.1.but its not working i am getting this message: 'Server failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature. ErrorCode: AuthenticationFailed' And when i use the SAS url in the browser i see a xml with all the containers that are available in the blob storage.   Could someone help about this topic, please?

Hello, I'm still juggling with FME. I have this very large raster (30 Go) and I need to clip with over 2000 different shapefile extents. Right now, I have been trying to use a Feature Reader and set up a spatial filter to read only what intersects the selected shapefile. Unfortunately, the whole raster is always completely returned. I have also tried creating a parent workspace only reading the main raster and creating a child workspace that would clip the raster according to the selected shapefile. The problem is that the raster is then read EVERYTIME in the child workspace (which amounts to about 72 hrs of unnecessary processing). I have read somewhere that you can publish extent parameter and use it in a normal reader to apply a search by envelop and than clip. However, I can't seem to understand how to "call" the parameters in the reader as there are no way to input parameter (see picture below).  Would anyone have a solution?
