FME Form

I am writing AutoCAD DWG with changing areas/extents. My template file defines the styling. When opening the file in CAD it zooms to a blank area (possibly from the extents of the template file) and I need to zoom to extents to find my current area. Is it possible to either remove any extent information from the template file, or force the output DWG file to zoom in on the current area extents?

I have a closed polygon dataset that I need to add angle labels to the internal angle.I just wanted to see if anyone has done a similar thing or has some advice on the best way.I am using the “VertexAngleCalculator” transformer which gives me the results for the actual angles but need to figure out the before and after lines to the calculate the position and angle of the label so it is just offset from the vertex and angled midway between the before and after lines towards the interior of the polygon. 

The documentation is not entirely clear here for how to upload files to a ACC store using the AutodeskDocsConnector.I seem to be able to upload folders..However when i try to upload files i get an FME rejection message that says. Any ideas?'NoneType' object has no attribute 'status'AutodeskDocsConnector

After the update Version Control isn't working anymore.The Fetch From Remote-button works fine, but when I click the Push to Remote-button I get this error:Could not push to remote repository. Cannot invoke "org.eclipse.jgit.transport.RemoteRefUpdate.getStatus()" because "refUpdate" is nullDoes anyone have an idea what the problem could be?(I already created a support ticket with my local reseller, but they haven't seen this issue before)

I need to generate a list between two numbers and repeat a value the number of times between the two numbers. The values need to generate the number of rows between the higher ranked value and the lower ranked value. Below is the data I have now, and the second screenshot is what I need generated.

Hello everyone, I've recently been doing some work using HTTPCallers to connect and authenticate to an API. The basic flow is that the first HTTPCaller hits the login endpoint. The credentials (username & password) are passed as application/x-www-form-urlencoded values. An XML response is sent which contains a Session ID. This is then passed through to all subsequent HTTPCallers via the header as Cookie - ASessionID=<Our session ID>. This all works very well, but I've been asked if I could move the whole authentication part into a nice secure easy to use Web Connection. I've done similar before, so thought this would be a fairly easy task, but alas, I've hit a bit of a wall when it comes to the Access Token Response. Unfortunately, the login call to this particular API only returns XML and will not return a lovely JSON response for FME to parse and handle. I was under the impression that FME should be able to look at a JSON or an XML response, but I'm having no luck.  Is ther

Does anyone have (or know where I can find) the workspace and sample data for the Travelling Salesman blog post from 2016 (or later)?https://fme.safe.com/blog/2016/11/fmeevangelist158/ ThanksDavid

Hello, I’m struggling with the logic/approach on this one. I have a spreadsheet of fuel filters. So in the spreadsheet, it looks kind of like this: Unit#/Fuel 1/Fuel2/Air 1/Air212/abc123/abc223/airf123/airf12413/abc123/abc212/airf123/airf124 I want to create output data that looks something like this: Unit/Filter Class/Filter Number12/Fuel Filter/abc12312/Fuel Filter/abc22312/Air Filter/airf12313/Fuel Filter/abc12313/Fuel Filter/abc212 Hopefully this makes sense.Any thoughts on an approach, or some transformers I should work with? Cheers!​​​​​

Hello,  Using a SQl executersyntax: update <table name>  set date_start= to_char(sysdate -1,'dd/mm/yyyy')        where  DATE_START is nullcommitNo updates of the tables.Does FME have a problem with using Oracle “to_char(sysdate -1,'dd/mm/yyyy')”?Because the syntax works under ORACLE SQLPLUS  

Hi,I have two Oracle tables: POINTS_TABLE and LINES_TABLE. I’m trying to export both tables to DGN.  I’m using “Bentley MicroStation Desing (V8)” writer. In writer parameters, I filled out “Cell library file”, and now I’m trying to do something to fill “CellName”. How should I do it, to have different “CellName” value for POINTS_TABLE and for LINES_TABLE in my output dgn file?

I am struggling to save text as a hyperlink in Excel. I tried using this formula:=HYPERLINK("http://www.1spatial.com/fme","http://www.1spatial.com/fme")However, the outcome in Excel didn’t work as expected.  Does anyone have any idea why it behaves this way?

Using an Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader to read attachments, RasterReplacer fails on the attachment blob with INVALID_FEATURE_CANNOT_READ_BLOB. Enable Attachments='Y' on the reader, the arcgisonline_attachment{} list is exposed, and arcgisonline_attachment{}.data contains data. I am able to manually download jpg attachments from Portal successfully. I've tried all the image formats in RasterReplacer against the jpg in Portal. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! FME 2019.2.1.0, Portal 10.6.1

Overwritting .shp files gives mixed results so my workaround is to delete the .shp file(s) first and then create the new version.  But I can not figure out how to do that --I read somewhere that writers have a ‘delete’ setting for the ‘fme_db_operation’ parameter but I can not locate that anywhere.  Can anybody tell me if FME has the ability to delete the .shp files in a folder?  Thanks!  Lewis

Hi all I am trying to compare two databases which contain similar and different geometry files. I am trying to figure out which geometry's are the same and which are unique to each database.   A few big issues I have is the complex of the geometry and even the SAME geometry's has been captured slightly differently; even thou it's of the same area.I also have no data to help identify which geometry's are the same.Example of 2 similar complex geometry's - zoom in to show compilation differencesI am currently struggling to figure the best solution to my problem, the geometry can be complex with donuts and multiple areas representing the “same” geometry. I can't find the sweat when I simplify the data enough to get a match and not corrupt the data too much that everything matches. I have added two SHAPE file, containing 7 Features each, with 6 that should match and 1 that should not.Any help or ideas would be appreciated

IssueI have several 3D objects (coming from IFC) with variable appearance styles. In one case the style seems transparent. Both in FME inspector and in the final writer (Cesium3DTiles) these objects are kind of transparent.(see feature informations in annex)the dark-red “wall” seems transparant by contrast with the two parts ontopWhat I did so farChanged/Reset appearance (AppearanceSetter) → no effect checked on Geometry (GeometryValidator, VertexNormalGenerator, GeometryRefiner, etc) → no effectQuestionsHow can I make the transparent objects opaque? What’s the difference to the other objects?

Hello, I have a pdf report that I need to parse out. I can read it and create a line by line list. It has a line with employee code/name, then subsequent lines with codes and their values associated to the employee. Here is a sample of the report and then what it looks like when it is read in. I can get it split nicely into rows/columns/attributes no problem. My issue is that I dont know how to break it up in each employees portion and add the employee number to each row.There would be a few hundred employees. So in the end I want to be able to spit out a table that has the columns:Employee num, Code, Description, units, extensions,etc I am very new to FME and just struggling to get it figured out. I dont know if I should be using some kind of loop, python code, aggreator etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated!  

Hi all, I’d like to classify polygons by shape, these might include: pie shaped, L shaped, T shaped.I was originally thinking that I’d have to convert them to raster and use some sort of supervised classification. Another method might be to convert them to centerlines and compare their linework: a T shape polygon would have 1 or 2 lines at the top, meeting at 90degrees to another line point downwards

Hello all, I would like to create a simple FME workspace in which PostGIS writer automatically reads attributes from the reader and adds an attribute with PrimaryKey (there are 30+ feature types in total). Is it possible to do it somehow?  I have seen and tested this method:postgresql - FME PostGIS writer define column as serial/PrimaryKey with pre-existing id values - Geographic Information Systems Stack ExchangeHowever, the goal is to set up a straightforward process with automatic attribute definition. I would really appreciate it if you could share what methods you use.

I need to update an ArcGIS Online feature service using something other than 'OBJECTID' field. In previous versions, I was able to set the "Update Key Field" in the 'Properties' dialog box of the AGOL Writer. In 2017.1 that option is gone. I can't find any documentation or examples on how to set the Update Key Field to something else.Any suggestions?
