I installed the HOME version for my own private research. I am trying to register for a license but cannot activate it.　​ -I checked the progress in Task Manager, but it doesn't seem to be working. -I have used it once in 2019 and it worked then.

I'm working with the PowerPointStyler and PowerPoint Writer for the first time, and have gotten pretty good results. I'm applying statistical analysis to my data, and then outputting these statistics as a bar chart to a pptx. My template pptx has graphical images as headers and footers of the slides.  One issue I'm experiencing is that the bar chart it creates is the entire size of the slide. So I'm getting overprints with the chart and the template graphics. Is there a way shrink the graph to a custom size from the transformer/writer in FME? Secondly, I'm wondering about the text size of the labels within the chart. I don't see a way to change the size of the labels from FME. Am I overlooking that functionality?

Hello , i am confused in my workspace .i would like to extract the coordinates of start point and end point of the lines .So I used coordinates extractor index 0 , and other coordinates extractor index -1 .so I got the coordinates .but how I know , this coordinates belong for which point id ( I mean which side of line is start and which side is -the end ) and depends on what ?my target to get the coordinates and the relates points id to it .I would like to get theses attributes ID line | id point start | coordinates (x)start | coordinates (y) end | id point end |coordinates (x) end |coordinates (y) end as example .see picture , I need to extract the coordinates of each line ( start and end ) and know which id of the point that relates to this coordinate Fme 2021  

Hi,We have FME server FME Server 2022.2.2 Build 22782 using SSO to login. We have role based acces to functionality using sync with Windows AD. All users can login to FME server using 'Use Windows Credentials 'except one person who has the same role(s) attached to him as other users. Different browsers were tested fmeserver log is attached to this call. Error is at line 295 Kind regards,Gerro Zegeling 

I can't open the following dataset on FME work bench.

I observed some issue by when executing workbench, I used following software and version mentioned below:              ArcPro Version – 2.9.0             Python Version -- 2.9             FME Workbench – 2021.1.3.0    I need some help on this. 

We would like to automate all the steps in deploying and configuring FME FLOW. Most of the steps in the application itself can be done via the API, however there is no option to do this for the proxy settings. We have tried many things already:-Setting the environment variables in windows-Running mcd-scripts to set the proxy for windows and FME itself (https://docs.safe.com/fme/2019.0/html/FME_Server_Documentation/AdminGuide/Using_FME_Server_wit)-Looking all over the v3 & v4 API documentation-Looking in all the FME flow config files-adding the proxy settings in the server.yml file in the tomcat folderAll above didn't work So do you still have a suggestion? We assumed it might have to do with security that it is not so easy. Thanks in advance, Matthijs

New to FME. I can't figure out why my writer (a .gdb) isn't writing anymore. I built a step by step PointOnArea inspection on 4.5mil addresses against specific shapefile polygons. I keep all 4.5mil and I just add a column that represents each polygonarea. In AttrMgr I reassign the 1's and 0's to Yes or NO. Everything runs awesome until I try to write the data. It stops immediately. The transformer message is very long but pretty much says something is wrong with every column and row.

Hello FME community, I am new to working with PDFs in FME and Python. I have two input files as following: 1.   The first file is a PDF named “all_maps.pdf” with around 1000 pages. Each page represents a single map, and the page number serves as the ID for each map. 2.   The second file is a shapefile named “main_map.shp.” It contains mesh squares for the entire area, and each square represents a map in the PDF file with a unique attribute called “ID.” This ID corresponds to the map ID (page number) in the PDF file.  My aim is to combine the outputs of both datasets into a single PDF file, totaling 1001 pages. The primary map in the “main_map shapefile” should be on the first page, followed by the other 1000 maps, each with clickable links for every square on the first page. The objective is for the user to click on a specific square and navigate to the corresponding map in the same file. For instance, if the user clicks on square number 60, the PDF should scroll down to page number 61

Hi all,I'm new to FME and there is a lot to learn. I have been trying to research into how to generate a heat map (Hot Spot Map) in KML for Google Earth using FME Workbench (2019.2). I can't find an approach or forum that explains how to do it. Could anyone provide some tips on the process of transformers required to generate this? I currently have all my data plotted on Google Earth, I want to transform the plots into heat maps of dense areas.  If anyone has knowledge on this, I would love to discuss this. Thanks in advance!

I am unable to see FME badges on my board. I completed FME basic training and some parts of FME advance and server. Please share the link for that.

I saw a filter area in Visual Preview and wanted to inspect my data to make sure I got the same number of rows as my source data has which was 92,688. I did not. I'm not sure why. I filtered on the column that has 92,688 entries, but what was returned was 93,231 (543 empty rows/records). I have no empty rows in any of my source data either. I'm using FeatureJoiner to bring over a column that was not in my original data. The two source files have a common attribute: LocationID. The Source file has 4,500,626 rows, and my joining source file has 92,688. When I joined the data it came back with the 4,500,626 rows with my added column and data (92,688). So why does my filter show 543 blank rows more?

Hello, I want to rotate my point cloud using 3drotate along the Z Axis. The thing is the rotation is made around the origin 0,0,0. So i extracted the centerpoint of my point cloud to use it as an Origin but I don't know what to put in Direction to still rotate it around Z axis Thank you

Hi,I'm working with land use data derived from satellite imagery, and I've encountered a persistent issue with gaps and overlaps. I've already use TopologyBuilder and AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner transformer in FME, and while they've resolved some areas effectively, there are still instances where gaps persist, and some areas have been unintentionally cut off.I've experimented with reducing the tolerance values, but the problem persists. Has anyone faced similar challenges, and do you have any suggestions or alternative approaches to address this issue effectively?Your insights and expertise would be greatly appreciated!

Just curious about it as there are different approaches, and would like to understand better my results and analysis.

I am converting ESRI gdb tables to Josn format(text_line), but unfortunately few of attribute values are given extra/unnecessary precision?data from tables : "aos" : 105.20 ,"aos" : 293.22 output generated : "aos" : 105.20999999999999, "aos" : 293.22000000000003To avoid this I have used attribute rounder , but no use, client required only 2 digits after (it should be float) . could some one help to resolve this issue on this.I have used the below transformers gdb readerattribute manager and attribute rounderJosn templaterText file writer (text_line)Thanks in advanceChandra Sekhar Guda  

I am trying to extract getVertexIndices from a mesh and I have to implement a loop when I use the getVertexIndices() method. Also, I am getting different sizes of the list coming through the getVertexIndices() method. Is there a way to get the list of all vertex indices at once and of uniform size?  @daveatsafe​ @Takashi Iijima​ @Hans van der Maarel​ 

As workaround I can create user parameter as intermedia parameter then get it accessed by shutdown python script. But I am more like to find the way to let shutdown python script to DIRECTLY access deployment parameters. Any tip?Thanks,Daniel

I have 200 files. Their names have spaces. I want to replace these spaces in each file name with a dash. What is the best way to do this. I know I start with the pathnames reader. But, what is the next transformer(s) I need to add?

Hello, I wanted to continue my course when I realised that instead of eight completed modules there is only three. Howewer in the list of completed modules there is the correct number. It seems that there is no cenection between modules and the whole course. When I click to continue course it shows up an empty incomplete module next to the completed one.

Hello Forum, I've searched previous questions, but couldn’t find an answer. I've no doubt someone has posted this before. But, sorry, I couldn’t see it. I need to replace a specified value within an attribute to another value. I have an attribute (field) called Zone Type. Each cell in that attribute has one of several possible values. Where the value is "container" I need to replace it with "Outside CPZ". I don’t want to change any other values. How do I do this? I've tried through AttributeManager but couldn’t work it out. Thanks,Stuart  

I have a column that contains a lot of special characters. By using transformer 'StringReplacer', I can replace i.e. an '#' by an ' '; How can I replace a list of special characters of 10 or more characters. Do I need to use 10 StringReplacers?

We have a process that sends an e-mail to approximately 10,000 subscribers to inform them of crime in their area based off a buffer from the subscriber address that we are considering to replace. Is this feasible using FME Flow or FME Hosted? Or is that too many e-mails to send at once using these platforms?

attribute only display elevation in geometry ，who can tell me why​
