+12As an Autodesk Dynamo user, FME is a natural fit. There are features that FME could benefit from, and vice versa.
I find the transformer Align/Spread feature lacking. It is too easy to turn your slightly messy workspace into a knot of nodes. Dynamo has a feature which automatically aligns the nodes(transformers) that is superior. Right-click on a Group (Bookmark), select Clean up Node Layout, and it auto-arranges:
It isn't perfect, but way easier than what is offered currently.
+7I guess you know but FME has an auto layout function. It has been buggy for years and there is room for improvement but Safe people are aware of if.
+12Yes, Safe does have an auto-layout function. The connectors need to be arranged better. But, duly noted about using auto-layout for bookmarked groups of transformers. I didn't realize it could do that. When I tried it the first time, it was a little scary! If they can dial it in, I would encourage having a right-click context menu item added, or is that something else I didn't know? Also, if the auto-layout could work without changing the size/shape of the bookmark, that would be helpful.
