General

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?

I tried publishing my workspace from FME Desktop to FME Server but when I run it, it gives me this error that it doesn't read my Esri License which results in the workspace failing. Not sure why this is happening, any advice would help

Hi all,I need write excel (from 2nd rows) to google sheet template (write from 3rd row).Could you tell me how to do it? Thank you

I am working with a feature class and I have got some empty cells that share the same Structure ID, I want to fill the missing Archetype value from a value in the above row. logic can also be created using an index column such as : it looks simple but I have already spent hours figuring this out but couldn't find the solution. Please check the data attached to this post. Thanks in advance H

HelloI am wonder how I can get FME to write vectors. I`ve tried a lot of setting on the writer but whitoute any result.  I tried to write vectors in SOSI/GML formate, but it is irelevant just I get some vektors. Are the other format or setings even transformer I miss. I put an picture here that shows what I am doing and I hope somone can help me with this.Thanks.

With the help from our Sharepoint team, we were able to get my FME account configured in Azure and I have successfuily setup a WebConnection a Sharepoint site that allows me to read lists using a Sharepoint List Reader. I have two (questions):1) What's the proper syntax when using the 'Filter' field under 'List Options' in the reader.  I have consulted Microsoft and OData pages to come up with the following for filtering out Null values:But all the gets me is Microsoft SharePoint List Reader: Error returned from the server. This may be a result of the "Items Per Request" parameter exceeding the server's limit. The "Items Per Request" parameter can be lowered. Error was: 'The attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold.'A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsIf I leave out the filter, the reader will return 1ooK's of records without complaining about the limit though. So my filter must be wrong. Putting quotes around the field nam

Question of the WeekThis week's question-of-the-week was asked on GIS/StackExchange. It's all about how to create a grid from a rectangular feature.  "I have a set of polygons, each one comprises 4 sides. Each facing sides are equally divided into segments (right figure). Is there anyhow to automatically create a grid as shown in the figure on on the left ?" So let's have a look at how we can do that. [Ah, I just found it's also been asked on the community here] Creating GridsIt's pretty easy to create a grid like that from scratch if you know the dimensions needed. You just put down a 2DGridCreator:   ...and that was suggested as a solution by someone. But, if the feature exists already, the better transformer is the 2DGridAccumulator, like so:   The trick here is to set a group-by, else you get a single grid that covers all of the features (whereas we want a grid per feature). However, this doesn't take into account that the user's question showe

Hello, I have a set of polygones, each having 4 sides (right figure) Each pair of facing sides are divided into equal segments. Is there a way somehow to make a grid for each polygone by linking facing vertices as depicted in the left figure ? Thank you in advance.

I have a very large dataset (around 1 Million polygons) and I want to dissolve touching polygons so that I can give them one unique ID to then conduct a surface on surface overlayer after a spatial filter based on the group ID of the dissolved polygons. My problem is that after the Dissolve the remnants part with the line features gets very big and exceeds my memory. Is there another more memory-efficient way to handle this? 

Hi, I created a workspace in Desktop 2020 that plots some point locations on a basemap, and then writes both features out to a PDF. I set the default point radius to 3 in the PDF2D writer parameters which was fit for purpose. Please see the attached 2020 file for reference.Now, when I run the very same workspace in Desktop 2021, the points in the output PDF are so small you can hardly see them. Please see the attached 2021 file for reference.I'm not sure why Desktop 2021 is reducing the size of the points down to almost nothing.As a solution, I tried to increase the default point radius in the writer parameters but this didn't work. It's like they are stuck on the one size...Thanks. 20202021 

I tried with chopper, buffer and PointOnAreaOverlap but I don't manage to modify the polygon. Due to the accuracy problems and different sources the vertices are close to about 1-2cm. How to modify the big polygon to the vertices of the small one automatically? Thank you for help!!

I have tried using string replacer to remove the blank spaces with commas but it doesn't seem to work?  I am hoping to get this attribute looking like the below? Any help on how to get here is appreciated.

Hi all,My workbench crashed and somehow the latest saved version is a week old (even though I'm fairly sure I saved more recently).I have a recovery file, but when I open the workbench I get this error: A recovery file was found.A recovery file was found for this workspace but the recovery file can not be loaded. This situation occurs if a problem prevented Workbench from closing correctly. Changes that were made to the workspace may have been lost. I store the workbench on a cloud service, which has version history. I tried downloading and opening the workbench with several versions of the same recovery file, but I get the same message.I also have a bunch of wb-xlate files and a fairly recent .log but I don't know if they can be useful in any way.I couldn't find anything useful in my Temp folder. I'm close to giving up and starting over, but I would still like to know for the future.

I have a 2d point created from Geocoder that I'm trying to combine attributes with a 3D fbx model. Both are in the same coordinate system but I think that the 2D point has no z values while the 3d model does. Is there a way to combine attributes using only x and y values instead of z values? I attached pictures to hopefully show my data. For now I'm just working with 1 point as an example but will recieve more attributes over time

I have 2 shapefiles:roadway centerlineshouse points  is there a way to generate lines between each point and the nearest road centerline?
