In writing DXF when lines are output I use autocad_width and autocad_linetype in combination with a DXF Template file in order to get the desired output styling for 2D lines. For 3D lines this doesn't work and 3D lines are output in some default manner. As I am not an expert with DXF/DWG and only create such files with FME could somebody help me out with the following questions:Is it possible to style 3D lines in any way ? Thickness, dashed, etc.If NOT: what do people usually do if 2D and 3D lines are coexistent and should be combined in the same output file, while the 2D visual appearance matters and should be used also for 3D lines? At the moment the only way to cope with 3D styling deficiencies seems to be double 3D line layers, in order to have a 2D and seperate 3D copy force one layer to 2D and style it as usualoutput the redundant 3D layer as is in order

Hi We fly over cities with a lidar. So we have multiple las files of a city. Because they don't start and stop on the city boundary we need to clip these files.  It's a super simple workbench, but it runs for 8 hours on average. Depends on the city offcourse. I think it has a 50% chance of succes. We get 2 types of errors. The first one that says there isn't enough disk space or we don't have the right privileges.The other one is that one of the files could not be written because the data is corrupt. Altough if we don't change anything and run it again it completes with succes. So we don't know what the actual problem is, maybe the network... So If we don't know how to solve that, we can at least try to get a better chance of succes.  Would it be quicker to first select the files that actually intersect with the city boundary and only send those through the

Hello FME'ersHere is the weekly roundup of FME news. Community Activities: NOW LIVE!In case you weren't aware, we are improving connections in our community with a series of ongoing events - and the first of these is now LIVE! There will be a webinar and blog to cover all of the events, but for now, be aware that an FME Geoguessr group is now live. Geoguessr is a game of geography, where you are "dropped into" a location and asked to guess where it is.  Then you get a summary of your results, with how far away you were:  To play regularly you

I need to write to a single excel file with multiple sheets using a template. I've created a template with multiple sheets formatted as I need them but when I write to excel, it will only write one of the sheets and leave the others blank.

 We have dozens of FME 2020 workspaces that use this capability that are now failing in FME 2021 because the parameter is not available to the Python Caller.

As per the title, what does the FME Hub TestSuite for custom transformers do? The only documentation i've found is here, and basically says it runs on an Linux Envhttps://community.safe.com/s/article/fme-hub-best-practices-and-guidelines Is there any more information that can be shared on how the transformers are tested, what (data) is used to test them? EDIT: Just re read that page and it says it runs a Test Workbench that is supplied. So is that all that it does? As a user, is there visibility of these test workbenches? In some instances it would be helpful to see how the transformer is being used

Can you update the attributes of a feature without having to upload the geometry to a AGOL hosted feature service? For example, we have a feature service with about 80 features where the geometry for each feature is huge. We want to do daily updates to the attributes and the geometry never changes. There is a work around where you have a non-spatial table and use hosted dynamic joins, but is a little awkward.

It seems that the writer wrongly rounds the values ​​of seconds greater than 59. Using DB Browser to query the result:  Could it be a bug?

I have a raster in coordinate system EPSG:25833 (ETRS89.UTM-33N). The coordinate system is saved with name ETRS_1989_UTM_Zone_33N in GeoTIFF and Esri Shapefile, but in ECW with name NUTM33. The coordinate systems are the same, only with different name.I have viewed the properties with Esri ArcGIS. The different coordinate system names are in ArcGIS no porblem, but in the software GeODin Maps.How to do it to write coordinate system name ETRS_1989_UTM_Zone_33N into the ECW file?

Hello, i got this issue when using heightmaps (REAL32), they seem to not have the same range / offsets in each map, look at the example below. there are 4 maps, which should tile, but doesnt.  Is there someway to remap each maps data to the same ranges? any ideas? or should i just request a new set of data?  

FME is writing a the geometry column as:GEOMETRYCOLLECTION (GEOMETRYCOLLECTION EMPTY, POINT (Y X)) When it should be outputting as POINT (Y X) Is there a way to correct this?

I have a test environment so the data included in this workspace is just test data. I get the data via a http-caller. If I save "_result_body" with a JSON Writer and use feature reader to read in the saved json file I can get the polygons with no problem. But this wont work for me, I need to be able to directly interpret the response I get from the http-caller. I been hacking away for two days now and I just wont work. So its best to ask for help, and also some general tips on how I should interpret the response body. I read some tutorials about JSON and GeoJSON but those examples are not near as complex as this one is. I included a workspace where I created the response-body as an attribute if someone wants to push me in the right direction it would be nice. And another question. The data should appear in Sweden. But looking at the individual cordinates it looks odd, and the response from the http caller didnt include any info abo

It would be nice to have an update on the FME AR app from Safers for Android as it has been lagging behind functionalities vis-a-vis iOS

To make matters worse, the extended data need a certain form (for example "CODE 1004 - Binary Data").I have already found some impulses in the forum (autocad_extended_data_list {}), none of which helped me to solve the problem.Does anyone have any ideas or food for thought from you?Many greetingsMartin

Bye! How can I color lines that cross 3D objects? I would like to color each line green before it crosses the 3D object, and the piece of line that is beyond the 3D object red. Thanks

I have a lot of files with different coordinate systems. However, coordinate extractor only works to get a coordinate system of a file. Is there a way to get a list of coordinate system names of multiple files in different formats (shp, tab, kmz..)

hello, i would like to run several python scripts, using the arcpy library inside FME, what have i done so far? I just created published parameters and insert the values of the variables I need, but I'm not able to execute. See attached log. What do I need to set up correctly?

To all Autodesk'ler,I have a DWT-file, which is noch an ordinary Autodesk template file, but an application module. I can open and read it with the Autodesk's 'Infractruscture Admin'. Editing it possible with 'Map3D', where you can see the representation definitions. Usually you are hosting your data in an oracle database and holding the representation in LAYER-files. With a DWT you now have everything in one file.I already tried to open this file with the inspector - no success.Does anyone has experience with this? Cheers,Maria

As a note, we can do this in QGIS using the Topological colouring.
