FME Form

Hello, i saw this in FME documentation :“...The ACAD format writer will look for custom hatch patterns in custom <filename>.pat files located in folder specified by the ACAD operating system environment variable, or in the related folder for any installed AutoCAD product.The REALDWG format writer will look for custom hatch patterns in custom <filename>.pat files in the <FME install folder>/plugins/realdwg/Support folder. Predefined patterns can be found in the acdb.pat file in that folder, and additional patterns can also be added to that file.” The Autodesk AutoCAD DWG/DXF Writer is fine : i get custom hatch patterns in my dwg file. (didn’t try REALDWG Writer)But when i use the Autodesk AutoCAD Map 3D Object Data Writer, i get the warning :“AutoCAD Writer: The c

From the attached image, I am running a workflow for QAQAC for 2nd Level Check of Electricity Data, and I discovered that some of the transformers is showing under Incomplete Transformers, and also I am having an error showing (ERROR_2.1B:Wrong QA/QC WorkflowKindly run data with the most recent workflow) based on the way the FME Administrator developed the workflow. My question is this, if a workflow is developed with older version of FME like 2 years Gap, does result to some Transformers been listed under Incomplete Transformers, and how can I resolve such Transformers.

I am trying to set up a process that downloads new zip files containing shapefiles from a Google Bucket. The bucket contains four folders at the top level and in each of those folders are folders for individual project areas. In those project folders there are mp4s, pdfs and zip files with the shape files. I would like to just download those zip files, and keep them grouped by project, and none of the others every time the flow is triggered. So far I have figured out out how to list the files and filter out everything else not a zip file. The list is great but I want to download them and not just list them. This is my first time working with Google Cloud Storage buckets. 

I have a workspace in 2023.2.1 that is writing to ArcGIS Portal. What I am finding that in some cases the original layer that is in portal had spaces in the layer name i.e. Layer Name. When it is written to Portal either FME or Portal replaces the spaces and with underscores i.e. Layer_Name and when I try to update it, FME can’t find the layer as it is looking for the original name with the spaces. The only attribute that is available is fme_feature_type or my user parameters.  Is there a way to create a parameter prior to both of these writers that replaces the spaces with underscores and is then available to the FeatureWriter layer name attribute?

Has anyone resolved the workspace log Warning for coordinate system when working with Snowflake Spatial Reader? Coordinate system of reader identified by keyword `SNOWFLAKE_SPATIAL_1' has changed from `LL-WGS84' to `' If you set the coordinate system on the Snowflake Spatial reader to LL-WGS84 the warning changes to. NOT changing coordinate system of reader identified by keyword `SNOWFLAKE_SPATIAL_1' from `LL-WGS84' to `' -- mapping file setting of `LL-WGS84' overrides coordinate system `' read from file. If you set the coordinate system on the Snowflake Spatial reader to EPSG:4326 the warning changes to. NOT changing coordinate system of reader identified by keyword `SNOWFLAKE_SPATIAL_1' from `EPSG:4326' to `LL-WGS84' -- mapping file setting of `EPSG:4326' overrides coordinate system `LL-WGS84' read from file.

I have a Microsoft Access Database Table. I need to delete all the records in it and just keep the schema. Basically, the output will be an empty table. There are 10,000 records in the table. Delete all records in Table A. Table A will be empty. Just keep the Table A schema. I know I can use the SQLExecutor with a SQL Statement to do this, but how to do this using Transformer(s)?  What is the best way to go about this?

I have a road network (lines) that i need to convert into points for labeling reasons.I have managed to do this using DistanceMarker but I want to be able to save the orientation angle of the line as an attribute in each point. So that when i use the points for labels, I can tilt them correspondingly. Since the lines are rarely straight, I want the orientation in the specific point.Any advice for how to apporach this?

Hi all and Safe.I just revisited some INSPIRE docs, that specifies the projections used for data here.In Denmark we often use UTM 32N, but there are two basically identical EPSG-definitions: 25832 and 3044. We normally use the former, while INSPIRE only uses the latter.The only difference is that 25832 is given as Easting,Northing, while 3044 is given as Northing,Easting.I tried a simple reprojection workspace, entering a 25832 point, reprojecting it to 3044, and extracting its WKT. And it was still Easting,Northing !Doesn’t FME handle such coordinate value swaps when reprojecting, or is my setup flawed ?Cheers.

Working with FME Form 2023.2.2.Comparing features using a ChangeDetector transformer I see a weird behaviour. It does not always happen though but can’t see a pattern.I see features correctly output though Updated and Inserted ports but all of them have value ‘INSERT’ in fme_db_operation attribute. Has anyone experienced something like this? 

I have a list and with ListSearcher i found that element with id {_list_index} needs to be removed completely from the list. How can i achieve this.

I am trying to intersect 3D Polylines and Solid Cubes to determine which cubes are touching the polylines.So far I tried Clipper, intersector, SpatialRelator and SurfaceOnSurfaceOverlay. All the features are ending in the rejected port as invalid geometry.What is the right way to accomplish this task?

Hi all,I’m exploring a workaround to split a polygon based on a 70/30 area ratio:70% area → Type A 30% area → Type BSome visual explanation is included below.The geometry of the split doesn’t need to follow a specific direction — any orientation is fine as long as the 70/30 ratio is maintained.Has anyone come across a method or workaround to achieve this?Thanks! 😊

i have an excel sheet and want to make some sums and write them in another new attributei want to sum row O from start to line above an attribute in row M wich is VU or VD...so e.gsum 1 = light bluesum 2 = light blue + dark blue and so on till the next line which is one above a line with VD or VU…...i hope i have explained it not to difficult…...i think the hard part for me is that i need always a sum from the beginning again Thank you and greetzfranco

I have a point location and I would to find the 20 mile extent from that point across a road network. Effectively, I want to create a 20 mile buffer around my point but it must use the road network to determine the distance in all directions. I have tried creating distance isolines using the NetworkCostCalculator and ContourGenerator but this didn’t seem to work very well with a large distance specified (contour interval of 20 miles equivalent). Does anyone know how I might be able to do this?

I have a problem. First my FME: It is partly in Dutch, but it doesn't matter here. It is about spatial data with some features. There are two feature readers: the first one to select features which fall within a pre-defined contour, the second to select features. The attribute manager to add some attributes. The featurewriter to write the data in gdb format. In the FeatureReader you can see attributes for “pand_v” and for “scheiding_v”. The attributes of “scheiding_v” are standard, hence the same for other features, except for “pand_v”. The difference is that in “pand_v” BGTPlusType is replaced by “identificatieBAGPND”. The features are of several geometric types: lines, polygons and points.In the output of FeatureWriter all the attributes as given in the AttributeManager are shown. I'd like to see that f

Hereby a short description of my workflow with the questions at the end. I have created a TIN from points. (TINGenerator)Then clipped it with polygons (water area). (Clipper)The water polygons have been lowered to -1 meter with the 3DForcer.With a Junction I collect both the water (3D Polygon) and the TIN (surfaces). Here are my questions:how do I properly merge those geometrytypes together? how do I fill up the (vertical) gaps between the lower water and the surface.I tried many transformers and different steps, but as you can guess, with no results. Using: FME2024.1

Hi all.Is it possible to use a scripted parameter in a workspace to populate the items for a choice parameter ?So far I’ve had to manually edit the choice list whenever new items needed to be added, but potentially it’s possible to create all the items automatically with a query to a database. This would release me from having to update it manually.The example I’ve found only talks about returning a single text, but a choice parameter needs a list of display+value pairs.Any insight is welcome.Cheers

Hi everyone!I have some "from-to" path features (FROMTO.shp) that I need to use to calculate the shortest path across a network (NW.shp).However, it doesn't seem to work for all 4 features (just one), does anyone know why?I've attached the files for reference.Thanks in advance!

Hello,I am trying to string together attributes. The difficulty is that the attribute names can vary by dataset.Generally what i am trying to do is that may look something like this:DEPTH [m] Measurement 1 Measurement 2 Measurement 3 Measurement 4 0.5 <NULL> 1 4.5 2.1 1 <NULL> 2 2.3 2.2 1.5 3.5 1 1 2.1 2 3.0 1 4.5 <NULL>  What I am trying to accomplish is something like this DEPTH [m] Measurement1 DEPTH [m] Measurement2 DEPTH [m] Measurement3 DEPTH [m] Measurement4

 Hi ,I'm building a workspace in FME where I need to copy multiple tables from an SDE geodatabase to a File Geodatabase (GDB). I use an Excel file to map the source and destination table names.Excel structure:Tablename Destination SDE_TABLE_1 GDB_TABLE_1 SDE_TABLE_2 GDB_TABLE_2  Workflow: I read the Excel file using a FeatureReader to get the list of tables. For each row, I use another FeatureReader to read the source table from the SDE using the Tablename attribute.

I’m working on a project where I need to replicate the table structure from an Oracle to SQL Server but without transferring any data. Essentially, I want to: Read tables from Oracle, recreate the same tables in SQL Server and write only the schema (field names, data types), not the records   Is there a best practice to force FME to write only the schema? Are there limitations I should be aware of (e.g. no support for constraints, indexes)?  

In FME 2025.0, it was mentioned that the IFC API Reader was updated to support reading IfcOpeningElement. However, in the latest version, 2025.0.3, the IfcOpeningElement feature still cannot be read. No matter what reader parameter options I adjust, it does not work.I have tried checking or unchecking the "Advanced - Subtract Opening Geometry" option in the reader settings, but that didn’t solve the issue. I have also tested several IFC versions, including IFC 2x3, IFC4, and IFC4x3_ADD2, but the IfcOpeningElement is missing in all of them.Is there something I might have missed? 

I have a road centerline dataset and RIF network data (one file per year) that includes from_dfo, to_dfo, and ria_rte_id. There are no common fields between the datasets.I’ve already done a manual match for 2022, where I assigned the starting and ending dfo values (from_dfo, to_dfo) from the RIF layer to each centerline segment — not the in-between segments, just the overall start and end for the full centerline geometry.Now, I’d like to automate this for other years (e.g., 2021–2017, 2024). My requirements are:Only extract the overall start and end DFO values for each centerline segment.One centerline may span multiple RIF segments, so I want the minimum from_dfo and maximum to_dfo from intersecting RIF features.There are no shared IDs, so I assume the match must be based on spatial overlap.Is there an efficient way to do this in FME, using spatial join and aggregation (min/max)? Any recommended transformers or workspace suggestion?T

Hi everyone, I have a parent workspace that looks like a series of FMEJobSubmitter transformers:Each FMEServerJobSubmitter set up at below:Submit Jobs: In SequenceWait for the Jobs to Complete: Yes When I call this parent workspace from the Web Interface, something weird is happening. First job gets submitted straight away and it becomes Completed after a second. Then the second one will only appear in Running jobs after about 45 seconds. It is not in the Queued and one of the engines is not doing anything.The same case is happening for the rest of the workspaces - they will only appear in Running after about 45 seconds once the previous one gets Completed.It is worth mentioning that we install

Is there a way with an ArcSDE Reader with an archived clause to expose the attributes GDB_FROM_DATE and GDB_TO_DATE ?Thanks
