I would like to see an FME Desktop reader that would read in a HYPACK Project folder and its contents, the contents being the various files of survey data within the Project folder and its subfolders. A HYPACK Project is just a typical Windows folder, but contains a .ini file (of the same name as the Project folder) that the HYPACK software recognizes. This .ini contains metadata about the project, including coordinate system, color tables for sounding data, and other relevant metadata. Many of the HYPACK data file formats are simple ASCII data, but being able to read that data in and preserve its connection/relationship to a HYPACK Project is far more valuable than just being able to convert ASCII to .shp.

If an entire Project reader is not possible, it would be nice to have at least a series of readers added for some of the different HYPACK file formats like .lnw, .mtx, .tgt. and more.

Hi @survey_says82, in our FME 2018.0 Betas we have introduced a HYPACK Reader that can read in files such as .brd and .b84. I realize that the Idea here was to have FME able to read other HYPACK file types such as .lnw and .tgt, but wanted to share the update in progress with you. I'll mark this idea as In Beta since we've introduced HYPACK support.
