DWG Writer - Dimension Text Rotation

The documentation for autocad_dimension features says that you can use an attribute "autocad_text_rotation" to rotate the text of a dimension.See autocad_dimensionHowever, I haven't succeeded in rotating the dimension text yet.I use "autocad_dimension_type" = autocad_aligned Any ideas?

Excel Writer with a template: conserve columns positions like the template

Hi, I'm trying to write an XLS file based on a template (according to this help), with complete rewriting of the data (Overwrite Existing File = Yes) and I can't find a way to keep the order of the columns according to the template in the output XLS and not in the order in which FME processes the attributes. For example, I would like that if I invert 2 columns in the template, it also inverts it in the output xls, without setting this with an attribute manager. Did I miss a parameter in the xls output that would allow this or is there another method.Thanks a lot in advance for your answers and best regards. Antonin

Overwriting an individual layer in a hosted feature class in AGOL

We have a client that has a unique need and I'm wondering if it's even possible in FME. There goal is to have a csv or table that contains a dataset name, itemID, and layerID. They also have a GDB file containing the datasets. The would like to have a function to cycle through their csv table, and overwrite an individual layer in an AGOL hosted feature class. The caveat is this hosted feature class may contain many layers and as far as I know you can't update just one layer. We have been racking our brain and FME seems like it may be our last hope. Here's the short version of the workflowRead update table -> Read GDB -> Update Hosted Feature Service Layer Any advice would be appreciated,Chad

How do I set the isNullable (Allow NULL) property for an attribute when writing to a feature class in an Esri SDE database?

In an Esri SDE database, fields (attributes) have a property setting of isNullable (Allow NULL). This property determines if the field allows null values or not. I want to be able to set this property in FME when I create a new feature class. Is there a way to set this property with the Esri Geodatabase SDE writer? See screenshot below to see how to set the setting in ArcGIS Pro.

Incorporating StatisticsCalculator Summary into subsequent Emailer Transformer without complicating HTMLReportGenerator

G'day, My workspace generates several rows of data, then goes through a statistics calculator so I can count the total rows of data. This total row is calculated so that I can email the user a summary of what has been done during the run process. What I am finding is that I am unable to use this fmt_acc.total_count figure unless I connect the Summary output through to the HTMLReportGenerator. When I connect this to the generator it ends up creating an additional row in my report with all NULL values, which is not ideal, so I disconnected it. I then use an emailer to send a copy of this HTMLReport, and in my email subject I would like to say "XX Number of Features Found, full list attached", where XX is the fmt_acc.total_count. Unless I connect this summary, the emailer has no access to this data. Can anyone think of a way I can include this fmt_acc.total_count in my emailer, without adding a dummy row in my HTML report?

Building follow terrain (TIN +DOM)

Hi all, I have building footprints, DEM and DOM data, I have finished 3D modelling for DEM with overlaying DOM, and 3D buildings, while the bottom part of some buildings, especially those located along the foot of the mountains, are under the terrain. I have tried many ways like 3Dforce with values minZ, or chopper buildings to points and acquire the points cooridinate Z value, and also clamp function, while all failed. Anyone can help? thanks a lot.

Unable to output Planning Overlays against Properties - either not all show or I get duplicates.

I have an FME workflow that extracts planning overlays against the cadastre/properties. Some properties could have 5 or more planning overlays. I am currently using AreaOnAreaOverlay transformer and then a ListExploder to get all planning overlays against each property, otherwise not all overlays appear for some reason. ListExploder seems to show all overlays against each property but it duplicates certain overlays. It doesn't matter which transformer I use to remove the duplicates, the result still has duplicates. Also, when joining the result to the rest of my workflow I have a feeling it chews up too much memory due to the listexploder as I get a non-descript translation error, which online forums suggest it is due to memory usage. What's the best way to show all distinct overlays without duplicates?

Speeding-up the reading of a large dataset

I am reading a large xml dataset - about 80GB .gz file - and send each feature in a PythonCaller that simply dispatch the content in different .gz files according to the feature type (since multi-writer will keep all the content in memory/temporary files). Seems to work since I can see the size of the different files increasing. however, Since it is being running for 8 days now (yes, 8 days), I wonder if I could eventually improve the speed of the workbench - parallel reading, processing, ... whatever could help!

Setting a dynamic Destination Fanout Directory

Hi all, I have a dataset that contains a _dirpath attribute that I would like to use as the Destination Fanout Directory. My workflow injests CSVs from multiple different folders, and I would like to output the Writer data to the same folder that the data originally came from. Does anyone know if that is possible? I can't seem to set an attribute as an input for the Destination Fanout Directory. Any suggestions?

We run an FME License Server in AWS on a Linux 2 box. We are required to upgrade to Linux 2023 but the redhat-lsb-core package is not available.

To previously set up our license server we followed the majority of info in this link:https://community.safe.com/s/article/create-fme-license-server The documentation show that the redhat-lsb-core package is required for the license server. The problem is the new Linux 2023 is based on Fedora and CentOS, whereas the previous Linux 2 box was based off the REHL 7, so it's now unavailable. Curious what others who may be required to upgrade their machines to Linux 2023 may have done or are planning on doing?

Python Caller running 10x slower in flow than FME Server

Hi, We recently upgraded from FME Server to FME flow and I've noticed that a few workbenches that contain only one python caller and a creator, are taking up to 10 times longer. Both environments hosting Flow and FME Server are identical in specs. Here are the workspace statistics from each environment FME Server:Average Elapsed: 12 minutes 44 secondsAverage % CPU: 96%Average CPU time: 12minutes 20 secondsAverage Peak Memory Usage 256mb FME flow statistics:Average Elapsed: 53 minutes 42 secondsAverage % CPU: 19.4Average CPU time: 10 minutes 42 secondsAverage Peak Memory Usage 264mb Does FME flow utilize CPU differently when using python, or is there some setting I can change in the form workbench? I can see from the logs that simple arcpy commands are taking 10x longer and the CPU is being under utilized in FME flow. I've looked into the transformer and can't find any processing settings - Is there a setting in FME flow that I need to configure? I can't figure out why

Based on the values in "source_table_name " I want to select the feature class from geodatabase 2. I am getting output but its routing through generic port of the FeatureReader so no schema is being added. Can anyone help me solve this issue.

GML to any other format

Hi! I have a gml file that i have downloaded from the statistical bureau of sweden. This is the data source: https://share.scb.se/OV0105/Xml/PD/pd_befolkningsfordelning_totalbefolkning_nt.xml It is in GML format and the data is structured in 10km squares. However, I can't seem to be able to convert it to any other format. The geometry im getting is just a bounding box for the entire dataset, not the specific 10km squares. I have found very limited resources to help with this problem online. The final destination should be in an enterprise geodatabase. Has anyone else had trouble with this? Thankful for any help. /Alex

Accessing usr/bin/ (gdal) from SystemCaller?

I am trying to run a Shell Script from the System Caller but am running into issues when accessing the various gdal programs that are called from within the script. These are stored away in usr/bin/ and "globally" accessible through the PATH file. The folder where the command is run is generated by FME in earlier steps, so its not as straight forward as copying the gdal files to the folder. Is there some workaround to get this functioning?

Finding related points.

We have some Annotation points all in one feature class. We are looking to find duplicated annotation text that are close to each other. We used the NeighbourFinder and attached the attributes from the neighbouring annotation to the base annotation. This allows us to see that, for example, record OD=1 is close to OD=2. Then a Test Filter is used to check if the TextString is the same on the base annotation when compared to the neighbour. From the results of the TestFilter we have a list of annotations that can be reviewed as it looks like they are close to each other and have the same text string (which may not be needed). So, for an example, say there are 100 annotation points that come out of the TestFilter. For each of these points, one of the other points in that selection of 100 points is the point it is related to/neighbouring. So, we don't actually need a list of all 100 points, just 1 of the points from each relationship, resulting in 50 points. Currently we are

Can the option to "Save As User Parameter Default Values" be set in a Server App?

In the Desktop User Parameters dialog there is the option to "Save As User Parameter Default Values". I have server app and I would really like to use this feature so that the parameter information the user entered is retained for when they run the app again. I haven't been able to find a way to do this - is this possible? Many thanks 😁
