Changing the styles in an Annotation layer

I have a workflow, using FME, that outputs an annotation layer in a file geodatabase.At first I create some pre-defined Annotation Classes in an empty geodatabase that will be used to style Water and Road text features etc. I note down the AnnotationClassID of each class.I then run the workflow which assigns the AnnotationClassID noted earlier to each feature based on a feature class attribute from the source data. This workflow also sets the FontSize, Rotation and Vertical and Horizontal Alignments of the Annotation feature.This runs fine and I can see the results in ArcMap as expected. However, I was wondering if it is possible to tweak the styles of this output Annotation layer?When I try editing one feature and changing its AnnotationClassID, called "SymbolID" in the attribute table, from a Water to a Road text style of the pre-defined Annotation Classes, the FontSize automatically reduces from a large number, 93543 (set from the workflow above), to 8, drastically reducin

How to run 2 x WorkspaceRunners simultaneously with "Wait for Job to Complete" = Yes

I'm struggling to figure out a way for an initiating Feature to trigger 2 separate WorkspaceRunners simultaneously. In this case, Workspace 1 and Workspace 2 are completely independent of each other, and it doesn't matter to them if the other Workspace Fails or Succeeds. However, Workspace 3 DOES need to conditionally only run if Workspace 1 and Workspace 2 both succeed, and Workspace 1 and 2 must only report "Success" if they run with no errors. I hopefully set it up this way below only half expecting success, although it ended up that this still only ran the WorkspaceRunners in Sequence and didn't work, since WorkspaceRunner #2 waited until WorkspaceRunner #1 completed before pulling in the Initiator Feature. Note: Workspace 1 and 2 are completely different FMWs and completely different Parameter lists.

a quick accurate boundry for pointclouds

Hi I would like to make boundries around my pointclouds.That way I can see if all my pointclouds cover an area. I only know hullaccumulator, but that only makes a bounding box. See the picture below. I want the red boundry and not the blue one that hullaccumulator makes.I'm trying the pointcloudcoerser before the hullaccumulator, but I don't know if that works and it takes sooooo looong... Is there a better way?

How do I set up published parameter attribute list (ordered)?

I have a problem with setting up an ordered attribute list in a published paramter. I haven't found a hint in any documentation, how to type in the list in the "edit configuration" window. Is there any documentation I did not find or does it follow the semantics of a language, like e.g. python?

Do we have a method that i could use anchored snapper without getting any collapsed at output ?

i have question regarding to the anchored snapper i have used points as input to Anchors and Lines to Candidates .but i found i have output on collapsed port around 209 point .collapsed port output :what i understood the smallest lines less than tolerance converts to points ,if i understood correct . but it means also that may be i lost some lines id in collapsed port bcs they converted to point so i will not be able to use them again as lines in my nework .or what should i do to use collapsed port again in my network so i have all ids again ? Do we have a method that i could use anchored snapper without getting any collapsed at output ? the lines that has already converted to points ,how could i use the output of collapsed port again in my network ,bcs i need the all id in my network .and i am not sure if i lost some id's in collapsed port or should i continue with output snapped and untoched lines and just ignore collapsed port . with these parameters i got around 209 output f

'addResults' error with the message '24126: Point coordinates cannot be infinite or not a number (NaN).'

I'm trying to update a couple of non-geometrical attribute values of a feature service. These values come from a HTTP request that is executed in a Python caller. These fields are now empty and I want to update these with every workbench run. But when I run the workbench I receive the following message: "ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: Writing features for layer/table 'X', with 9 inserts, 0 updates, and 0 deletes ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: 'addResults' error for a feature in 'X'. The error code from the server was '1000' and the message was: '24126: Point coordinates cannot be infinite or not a number (NaN).'" Does anyone know how I can fix this so I can first succesfully fill the empty columns and subsequently update these with every workbench run?

sharepoint list writer

I'm having trouble writing sharepoint users to a sharepoint list. It does not seem to matter how I'm formatting the user string attribute - it just wont accept it. The writer is configured as uploaded workspace. The sharepoint list adds a new, empty row. HOW do I configure the writer, and what is supposed to be the correct attribute value? To my understanding, the attribute value is to be formatted asi:0#.f|membership|name.name@domain.se

NullAttributeMapper...

HiI'm hoping someone can help me with a query.I have a SQL Server view that i am opening in FME; this contains both commercial and residential addresses The view has 2 reference columns, one contains a Council Tax reference, the other a Business Rates reference Some of the residential records do not have a Council Tax reference as they are not live properties; the reference column is NULL for these I have used a NullAttributeMapper to change the NULL value to New Build, but all records with a NULL value are being changed, including the Commercial records Is there a way of using the NullAttributeMapper to query 2 columns in the table so only NULL records that are residential. Or is there another transformer that would be more suitable?thanksSimon

Compare two lists with PythonCaller

Hello,I'm working on a French address table. A column contains a string with the abbreviated street type and street name, e.g. "AV DES CHAMPS-ELYSEES". I divided it and I built a list with its elements: AV, DES, CHAMPS-ELYSEESI now need to know if the first item in the list is a correct street type. For that, I have to compare it with about 200 values of a reference file, also stored in a list: AV, BD, CHE, IMP...I think I have to use PythonCaller but I don't know how to go about it. Can you help me?Regards,Nicolas

...so simple? Just want to select a specific raster (geotiff) value...

I have a GeoTIFF file (real32) with one band(0)Like to extract just the value 0.4 from it.But whatever I try, nothing works out.It's so simple, but I can't see it.... With the RasterExpressionEvaluator I use this expression:@if(A[0]==0.4,0.4,0)The only result I get is : 0Probably because the band only contains RGB values whereas the z-value 0.4 is interpreted? But what then, is the best way to extract this?

Hi,I need some help with a specific fanout scenario. I already found some articles on the topic but unfortunately I cannot create the desired results. Here is what I want to to: I have multiple input File GDBs, all with the same schema. In each GDB I want to manipulate one specific feature class and then write everything to new GDBs that have the same folder names and schemas as the inputs. I know how to fetch multiple GDBs using a wildcard and I am also able to keep the input (feature class) schema using a dynamic writer but I don't know how to fan out the Folders. How do I fetch the input folder names (e.g. Folder1.gdb, Folder2.gdb) and use them for the fanout? Thank you for your help!

Setting function attribute while writing Citygml document doesn't work properly. It seams like list attribute problem....

CSV reader - delimiter not recognized?

Hi,I have multiple CSV files exported by the same application in one export session and with the same delimiter. The CSV reader does recognize delimiter automatically for all but one file. Even when I enter the delimiter at the reader "delimiter character" it is not recognized. I'm wondering what might be different with that file.I noticed all files have UTF-8 encoding but not the one in question. When I convert to UTF-8 (Notepad++) it still doesnt work. I have no idea which other file properties cause that the file being treated differently. I also copied the delimiter character from the CSV file and pasted it to the readers "delimiter character" - still the same.Any ideas what the reason could be? FME 2019. Many thanks, Rob
