Hello !I'm actually trying to extract image (raster) from a PDF, but I'm having a black background. I've tried to extract as vector, but for FME, the pdf is a raster image with text as polygons and area box as line. I need the inside information from the pdf ( see attached image). Unfortunately, I'm not being able to have a proper raster representing the initial image. Should I perform an operation on resulting extracted image, so as to remove the black background. If yes, can someone help me.Thanks a lot! 

Hey all, as per the title, I seem to be struggling with this simple task! I have a spatial dataset that contains dozens of features, each with a 'Name' attribute field. In many cases, these features overlap, and I want to concatenate the overlapping 'Name' field values into a new single attribute field called, say, 'Names_Combined'. I've tried string concatenator and area on area overlay to no avail, is there a different transformer that would do the trick? Cheers all! Marty

 I have two database connections coming into the said workspace. I use a WHERE statement at the beginning of the processing to filter the data down so it runs in a reasonable amount of time. If anyone knows if there is a trick to get the WHERE statements to stay I would be grateful.   

Can anyone please mention which transformer is useful to identify undershoot

Hi everyone and happy easter! I am facing some difficulties with the LineBuilder Transformer, maybe someone has an idea how to solve this issue. I am generalizing lines, to calculate the lenght between linepoints per line feature. Our surveying data (especially lines) are generated based on linepoints. Anway, inbetween those linepoints lines (splines, arcs) often have vertexpoints, to display their curvature. I managed to give all linepoints the ID of the corresponding line feature (often linepoints carry geometry for more than 1 line, because they are intersection points). Now i need to build the simplifies lines for each line feature, but only using the linepoints as vertexpoints. In some cases it turns out well, but in other one I am achieving an interesting result (see attached pictures). Do you have any idea why my lines are in some cases built like this? Or how to avoid such results?Picture 1: Original line featurePicture 2: Linepoints of this line feature Picture 3: Result of th

Hi,I am looking to see if I can create a bounding box around an Esri Ascii Grid, but only around the points that have data (i.e. excluding any NO DATA values).I am aware I can use a Hull Replacer to create a bounding box around a dataset, but the main barrier is how to query the grid file itself and remove NO DATA values.I have tried to open the asc file in Notepad++, but it's huge and is unreadable due to it's size.Any suggestions would be appreciated.Cheers.

I'd like to build a workflow that creates a list of points for each alignment chain from an XML file. Is this possible? The points would be at each end of the alignment and a specified equidistant along the alignment. Is this possible?

Hello I have problem to get LAStools.lasnoise to work at all. I am reciving a lot of error.Howe is the right way of set this up?

Is it possible to export .obj file with multiple tiles with desire tile size (eg. 4096 x 4096) instead one giant texture file?

Hi, I am trying to download a csv with this url (https://waterinfo.rws.nl/api/Download/CSV?expertParameter=Waterhoogte___20Oppervlaktewater___20t.o.v.___20Normaal___20Amsterdams___20Peil___20in___20cm&locationSlug=Delfzijl(DLFZ)&timehorizon=-24,24) using FME. The csv contains data about the water level in the past 24 hours and the expected water level in the next 24 hours for a specific location. I have tried with the http caller but that doensn't work. Is there a way to download the csv using FME or to read the data in another way with a FME reader/transformer? In the attachment I have included the csv that should be the result of the download. I hope someone can help me.Peter

I have a 3D polygon shapefile that I would like to turn into a mesh so that I could simplify it

I have 6 columns of values that I want to assign to other columns within the same file, is there a transformer that can help me do this?

Hello everyone, We need to validate CAD file, in order to load into database. We want that the workspace runs by blocks. First of all, it needs to check geometry and, when this block returns zero errors, then (and only then) we'll check the labels. We'd thought to use "Total count" of StatisticCalculator and Tester to check "Total count", in order to check if we can pass to the second block, but it doesn't work, because when no errors returned, there isn't flux of data.

I am working with an excel file and there is a date attribute, where I want to filter the lines by the 4 possible dates, how can I do this? But I never know which dates are coming, it would have to be something dynamic. I've tried using the AttributeFilter but it doesn't work dynamically, even publicated parameters. Thank´s

I have a fairly simple workflow to move attributes from Esri File GDB to CSV file. First transformer is Coordinate Extractor. Second transformer is Attribute Reprojector (CO83-CF to LL84). Third transformer is Attribute Concatenator to combine two attributes to one value. Fourth step is the CSV writer with manual fields. Currently, I only have a few fields mapped from the Concatenator to the CSV. After running, some of the attributes populate into the CSV whil others don't. I previewed the data at the concatenator and all attributes are present. Why are some attributes not writing to the CSV writer?  Thank in advance for your assistance.

I have several DWGs, all of which have not been spatially coordinated, however each has 3 set points with an annotation referring to the National Grid X&Y.I am essentially trying to understand if I can take these 3 points and assign the National Grid coordinates provided as the annotation?

I was able to create a hosted feature using the same model, but when I switched the writer to update that same layer, it kept giving me this error:"ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Writer: Could not recognize Feature Service coordinate system '{}'Python Exception <KeyError>: 'capabilities'A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details" Coordinate System set to EPSG:4326Portal Feature Write set to Insert and Truncate Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks!! 

From a shapefile of 50,000 points, the final output on this would be polygons that contain 500 points per polygon. Appreciate any guidance on the best way to do this.

Have the following functional workspace that sends out e-mail notification:Needed to add additional parts description to the e-mail notification.Added that extra column in FeatureWriter:Also HTMLReportGenerator:Once I ran the workspace, it was successfully inserted into the log table:However, now the e-mail notification does not work. Anything that I missed?Will be helpful to know how to properly add additional columns since that will be an ongoing requirement. Thanks.

I am lost. Since I am following a lot of articles, many of which I already forgot. Can I see a list of articles of which I choose to follow when I am logged in inside FME community? Where can I find them?

Hi Everyone, I am trying to understand the codes behind transformer and how to export it out of FME. In detail...say for example I am using 10 or 11 transformers in FME...and that use of that transformers is repetitive all the times when we approach new data sets. So I am looking for exporting out my workbench with all the transformer I am using in that specific workbench in the form of say Python code or any other code format.

"Translation was succesfull" but then also "Error running the translation". How can that be? Can I ignore it?

Hi there,I want to write MText (multiline text) to DWG. If there is only 1 line the textsize is correct. As soon as there are at least 2 lines, the textsize shrinks. How can I prevent this?I attached a simple workspace (FME 2020, 64bit). My actual workspace transforms data from an oracle database to DWG.Cheers,MariaPS: In 2013 the question was already asked, but without any answer.

 The date picker cannot be reached when adding a date parameter.  This is for Mac OSX as shown below Apologies if I should be reporting elsewhere?
