I am new to FME Desktop and experimenting with downloading a feature from a Map Service hosted on an ESRI ArcGIS server. Is there a way to enable the "return_true_curves=True" when downloading the feature to a local FGDB. I have everything working using a Reader pointed to the map service; however, FME is converting the true curves to simple curves when reading or writing the data. I am able to download the feature using a query and the ArcGIS REST API in python to get a feature with two point curves to a FGDB. Would like to do this directly in FME.

How to specify the "return_true_curves" parameter when working with an ESRI Map Service feature?

After speaking with support, FME Desktop does not support downloading arcs or curves from map/feature services. We implemented a python script to download the map/feature services to a local GDB that we then use FME to process.
