Hi, I have created a random polygon (in EPSG: 4647) and now I want to put hatches inside of it via DWGStyler. They should be depicted in an angle of 45° and as lines - this works. Between the lines, there has to be a distance of 2 meter and this is where I got stuck. I've tried to achieve this via Pattern Scale in the DWGStyler and by setting "autocad_hatch_pattern_space" to 2 by using an attributecreator, but this doesn't seem to work properly.

Hello FMEers FME Academy UpdatesIn case you missed the announcement, there are a number of useful updates to the FME training academy that may be of interest to you. New modules include:Read From and Write To Multiple LocationsImprove Data Quality by Handling Null and Missing ValuesBuild a Shared Library of Custom Transformers These are part of the new Build Advanced Workflows trail. I count 11 trails so far, each with different modules:  And don't forget, online FME training materials are free of charge to use.  FME Hub UpdatesThe Hub Monthly Digest is a must-read if you are Swedish since most of the new items relate to Swedish formats.  There is a web connection for the Nationella Geodataplattformen (NGP) and several transformers for the Digital Twin Cities Centre (DTCC). The DTCC project seems to be about modelling urban environments to assist in real-world planning and design.  It looks like a series of projects, actually, so I'm really happy to see FME functionality may pl

I am attempting to append records to an ArcGIS Enterprise Portal table from a Postgres database using an SQL statement. I have a SQL statement that works correctly to query the database. I can use this in the SQL Creator Transformer and connect it to an Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service writer in FME Workbench. I can run this in FME workbench, and the records successfully write to the Portal table. The project works on my local machine and on the network server we plan to use for scheduled tasks. FME is installed on the server. I would like to run this on a 12-hour interval using Windows Task Scheduler.  Here's what I've tried:Copied the "header text" from the log in FME Workbench, and saved this as a .BAT file. Placed the .FMW and .BAT files in the same directory on a network server, and edited the .BAT file to point to the .FMW file in its new location.I created a new scheduled task in Windows Task Scheduler to Start a program, and pathed to the .BAT file.Nothing i

I have created a workspace with the help of Mr. Takashi(a person from this forum) that reads the shapefile ,creates buildings then this buildings are separated in storeys and then the storeys are separated in roof,ground and wall surfaces. All this work is attached.I want to find a way to write this information in CityGML (Lod 2).In conclusion i want a workspace that gives me a CityGML writer with the buildings.

I have two Arc SDE Geodatabases. Both in different coordinate systems. I need to do a spatial filter. Can I temporarily reproject data to do the spatial filter? If so, how do I do that?

Hello FMEers,Here is your weekly FME news update, just a day late. Unfolded FormatIn case you missed it, we revealed the new Unfolded format reader and writer last Tuesday.   And it really was a reveal, because that format hasn't even been exposed in the FME betas yet. But when it is available, do give it a try. I just created an account on Unfolded itself and it certainly looks like a useful platform. FME TerminologyI'm sure you've noticed that by clicking "More" on the FME Community menu that there is an option to access documentation. But what you might not have noticed is a newly added link to the FME Terminology page:  The FME Terminology page looks like this:  It has been available for quite a while, but fairly well hidden from view! Now that you can find it through this link, I hope that you'll share it with other FME users - especially beginners - to help them understand the terms we use in FME. Deprecations and Other ArticlesThere are a few new and up

Hello, FMEers. Here's the latest news for you... Conference TrainingA traditional part of the FME User Conference is pre-conference training.   As we plan for the upcoming conference, we're gathering interest on training course topics and welcome your feedback. We've created a survey that lets you vote for existing course ideas or submit your own. If you are interested in filling it out, we'd appreciate you doing so by Feb 4th. If you already signed up for training courses from a previous postponed UC, don't worry. We will be in touch with details of any changes.  World Tour RegistrationsSpeaking of FME events, registration is now open for the upcoming FME World Tour. The theme this year... performance and power in the form of motor racing!  So "put your pedal to the metal" and visit the World Tour website to browse the schedule of events and see when the World Tour is at a venue near you. Don't forget to click on the Virtual button too, to find online

I have a CSV file that looks like this:- ID,X_COR,Y_COR187347635,335375,369977185565488,282016,438601185768788,281568,438584 FME has classified the X_COR and Y_COR columns as time? I lost hours of work by not spotting this and getting mysterious geocoding errors.  I can't see an easy way to override it in the Reader and it doesn't make sense to me to have the time classification?  

I'm trying to output CSV files to Word or PDF. Formatting issues... not sure which transformers to use and what settings to use... Thank you in advance!!!  

I want to use the RasterCellCoercer to polygonise a raster. I am using it in favour of the RasterToPolygonCoercer, since this one is running out of memory constantly when dissolving. So I would like to write the raster cells as polygons to a PosgresDB and then ST_UNION them.However, on the RasterCellCoercer I am unable to retrieve the band values. There is only one band. The _band{}_value field is always empty. When I use the RasterToPolygonCoercer I get the expected values.Could someone give me a hint on how to solve this issue? Thank you in advance!

I have a large postgres database with over 100 layers. I would like to know how, and if, the indvidual layers relate by a shared attribute. For instance: a river will have an attribute with the county-name it flows through. However, the county will not have an attribute with the river name (but wil have an attribute with it own name). Both will have a completely different geometry obvioulsy. I am also not interested in creating that attribute (using spatial relator). I just want to know which features share which attributes. Since the dataset is so large I can not use the matcher since I will not know beforehand which attribute might match. How would I best go ahead to try and find these relations?

Hiwindows 10, FME desktop 2020.2.5 I installed scipy using pip"fme.exe python -m pip install numpy --target C:\\Users\\<user>\\Documents\\FME\\Plugins\\Python\\python37 " I check numpy version and it says 1.16.5 using pip list in commando prompt. But when I run the script in FME desktop it saysERROR |C:\\Users\\<my username here>\\AppData\\Roaming\\Python\\Python37\\site-packages\\scipy\\__init__.py:149: UserWarning: A NumPy version >=1.16.5 and <1.23.0 is required for this version of SciPy (detected version 1.15.1 UserWarning) But the only version of numpy that i have installed is 1.16.5.  Any suggestions on how I can fix this problem? 

My Data moved from Network drive A to Network drive B.Is there a way to mass change the Source Paths from the Readers in multiple Workbenches at once or do i need to open every Workbench and need to change it manually?

Hİ,I have one las file and all point cloud data is in one class. How can I classify this las data and export only ground data from it? 

We'd like to publish the /fmerest/v3/ API in an API Manager.It's well documented and structured here:https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_REST/apidoc/v3/index.html#I was wondering if there's also a OpenAPI definition of the services.

I have a file in format of .e57, it contains point cloud and raster.I plan to firstly reduce the number of points and export again as e57 that also contians raster and point clouds.​After processing the point cloud data is there 2 options in transform Writer: Raster, Point cloud. ​Which one should i choose? Or can i just export the raster and point cloud separately(like the picture below), and then open these 2 data file in FME Inspector at the same time and save as format .e57?​Thanks in advance.

Can i Convert my shape file to tiff image with geo location ? Pls guide me . 

Hello everyone, So I have a workspace, at the end I will output the HTML result by using HTML transformer. For my html report, I would like to have my writer naming: input file name + _level For instance, if the input file is: abc.geojson, the output file is: abc_level.html I tried as the figure below, yet it is not working. Could someone please give me guide on how to make it works. Thank you and sorry for soooooooo many questions recently. Zach

Hello, I noticed something weird with my reader.The primary key from a Geodatabase_SDE table is interpreted as int type on my 2021 version but is correctly interpreted as a double type on my 2019 version. Reader's properties on 2021 version :Reader's properties on 2019 version :Allowing reader feature type editing won't change a thing. All the id values are set to 0 through the inspector.Also, double fields type from the same dataset are well interpreted. Both versions. Thanks for having a look.Regards.

Hi, I try to request data from an api by a POST-request with httpcaller. Every post works fine when I set the parameter geodata in the body manually like this:{"geodata": ["FCA","FF"],..."}These are identifiers of features, which I want insert dynamically by an other transformer (Attributekeeper). The attributekeeper delivers one field called BSTs with this content: "MLLF","DPU","WWM" {"geodata": [@Value(BSTs)],..."} As soon as I activate the connection between attributekeeper and httpcaller, the api sends a "403" not allowed. I suppose, that the httpcaller sends the data of the transformer attributekeeper within the POST, what is not allowed by the api. But strange is, that I send allready the authentification-token to the httpcaller to use it in the header. This works... Any ideas are welcome ;-)Best regards, Christoph

Welcome to What's Up Wednesday, your weekly FME news roundup. EsriReprojectorAnyone who tuned into the sneak peek broadcast yesterday was treated to an in-depth look at the EsriReprojector transformer and what has changed in 2022.  The two main upgrades are time-based coordinate reprojection and vertical datums.  The time element is controlled by the coordinate systems selected and the Epoch parameter. A separate set of parameters control the Vertical Datums.  And, yes, I asked and you can do both at once! That's the final sneak peek I had planned. But I've got used to streaming with guests on a Tuesday afternoon, so, I'll try and line up more presentations, whether they be sneak peeks or something else, to keep us both educated and entertained. Women in TechOn the agenda for March is a webinar titled Empowering Women in Tech.   It's not about FME, per se, but about the women who work at Safe and how their careers progressed. If that's of interest to you, we hav

Good Evening, Firstly, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, or if there is a private message function that I haven't found. But I am looking to use FME to automate stream delineation via LiDAR derived raster analysis. I noticed your comment under this forum post (https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080haNDSAY/generates-drainage-networks?t=1645628766878). I have downloaded your workflow and taken a look at some of the processes and was wondering if FME has had any updates to further the scope of my goal. Or if you have came across any new/better processes yourself since posting your suggestion. Once again, if this is not the proper place to leave this comment, I apologize. Please reach out at your earliest convenience.

I only see that a couple of specific workflows are listed for conversion to 3D Tiles - these include Wavefront OBJ, CityGML, geojson, shp, and FGDB...We would like to simply input raster imagery and elevation (geotiff for instance) and output 3D Tiles.An example workflow that would be acceptable if supported:Raster geotiff imagery to TMSRaster geotiff elevation to TBD FME Mesh format most optimized for conversion to 3D TilesTMS Imagery and FME Mesh to 3D Tiles (b3dm format) 

I tried to display CityGML data in FME Desktop Workbench 2022 (Build 22282 - macosx) and got the following message, when trying to access the 3D Window:3D mode is not supported on this platform. OpenGL 2 or above is required for 3D rendering. Will there be a FME Desktop Version for the Silicon Macs? Soon?kind regardsPeter

Hi all,i am trying to connect with a Azure blob storage container, with the AzureBlobStorageConnector transformer in fme 2020.0.2.1.but its not working i am getting this message: 'Server failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature. ErrorCode: AuthenticationFailed' And when i use the SAS url in the browser i see a xml with all the containers that are available in the blob storage.   Could someone help about this topic, please?
