Would be great to be able to extract metadata stored in Revit sheets.
When using relationships in the Salesforce Reader with a custom SQL statement, the fields from related objects do not automatically populate in the schema. This leads users to believe that the query is not pulling this data. The current solution is to expose these related attributes with the AttributeExposer which is not intuitive for users attempting to use the Salesforce Reader.

It would be useful if the RubberSheeter could perform warping operations for raster geometries.
Often me and my co-workers share workspaces between others, but we might not be aware of Startup/Shutdown Python scripts existence that use the published parameters, so for example, if one deleted a reader where the script utilizes, it will definitely encounter an error.My idea is an alternative to other ideas:- https://knowledge.safe.com/idea/27309/startup-and-shutdown-scripts-with-regular-transfor.html- https://knowledge.safe.com/content/idea/52718/startupshutdown-scripts-on-the-canvas.htmlHow about turning the color of the Scripting icon of the Navigator window into green , as well as the corresponding tree child to indicate existence of a script in the workspace once filled out. ( see snapshot for illustration as a draft idea.)
It would be great if an admin could add a message to a user or group - and this would be displayed at the frontpage of the user after logging in. Ideas for what could be shown here:- Maintenance notice: Will be down for maintenance x-y- Uptime notice: Only up between 9am and 4 pm- Other message: -- For help - go to this URL-- For assistance, call XXXEtcetcetch
Currently The ACAD Civil 3D Reader does not fully support all labels. Could all types of labels be added to the reader? Or at the very least, could the documentation be improved to clearly state which types of labels are, or are not supported. The document below alludes to some label support for parcel segments but it isn't very clear.https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/20153/autodesk-autocad-civil-3d.htmlFor example, the reader cannot read a pipe label of entity type "AeccDbPipeLabel". Unfortunately, the logging in FME for skipped features is not very informative. It took a lot of sleuthing of FME and Autodesk documentation to figure out why the pipe labels weren't being read. For a list of Autodesk civil 3D label types please see the link below.http://docs.autodesk.com/CIV3D/2012/ENU/API_Reference_Guide/net/Autodesk__Civil__DatabaseServices__LabelType.htm
I would like to be able to write an AutoCAD Architecture file so that geometries can be written as a particular object such as walls, doors, windows.Either going from a DWG or Revit file to an AutoCAD architecture file would be good so that these kinds of objects can be written appropriately.(If you are interested in reading AutoCAD Architecture objects, this idea is tracked here)
I would like to publish my Esri MXD file to PMF (Published Map Files) using FME.Currently, I use the Publisher extension in ArcGIS and have to publish the MXD manually but I would like to automate this with FME.
When creating Justify aligned Paragraphs/Headings using the MSWordStyler transformer, with Content type set to Heading, Paragraph or List item, the last line of the Justify aligned chunk of text is spread out on the entire row/line. Using an MSWord Basefile with Headings set as Justified or setting Aligment to Fully Justified in Paragraph parameters just messes up the text.I think there is a problem with the line termination encoding used by FME.
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: Custom width setting for Readers, Writers, Transformers etc instead of fixed/dynamic Currently Readers, Writers and Transformers use dynamic width.For aesthetic and readability's sake it would be preferable to be able to change this according to one's preferences, as a preset.
This may have been suggested in the past, but I can't seem to find any mentions, and it's still a good idea.When translating data to a database of any kind, FME will create the needed tables to accomadate the translated data. If no data is processed to a given destination, no tables are created.So, FME knows how to create the table, but doesn't due to lack of data.The often proposed work-around (create a dummy feature, and delete it) is really not good, and is more of a hack than a solution.If an additional option (Force table creation) was available, when the attribute definition is fixed (manual), which is often the case when using "Generate" to create the workspace, transferring a full database would be a much easier task. FME should then just process all writers without data, and create the table if it has a fixed schema.
We already have a "leafletheatmap" transformers, but it would be good to have a transformer where we can ajust some parameters (like the radius of search, the weight of the different attribute, the pixel size, etc.).Below, this is the example of the kernel density estimator of QGIS :Have a good day everyone !
Add an option to the Counter transformer to count backwards (i.e. 0, -1, -2, -3 etc)
Hello Team,It would be great, If we have appropriate steps to configure AD groups for FME Server 2019. I could not able to configure AD group user with the current documentation.Thanks
Add support for MQTT (MQ Telemetry Transport or Message Queue Telemetry Transport) messaging protocol for FME Server notifications.MQTT is an ISO standard (ISO/IEC PRF 20922) publish-subscribe-based "lightweight" messaging protocol for use on top of the TCP/IP protocol. It is designed for connections with remote locations where a "small code footprint" is required or the network bandwidth is limited. The publish-subscribe messaging pattern requires a message broker. The broker is responsible for distributing messages to interested clients based on the topic of a message.
The RasterExpressionEvaluator and the RasterBandCombiner require that the input rasters have identical properties. If one raster has a spacing of 0.6666667 and the other 0.6666667000000001 then the second raster is rejected. See https://knowledge.safe.com/content/idea/58136/fuzzy-tolerance-on-rasterbandcombiner.html. Likewise if the origin is off by a picometer, and let's not talk about 20000 vs 19999 rows.It would be nice to have a transformer that takes one raster as a reference, and then forces all other rasters (candidates) to correspond to it's properties.This transformer would:resample the candidates to the reference _spacingX, _spacingY clip and or pad the candidates so they cover the same extent as the referencesnap the candidates to the reference origin
Create a holistic spatial join feature that will read overlapping polygons/polyline/point features. Like the one in ArcMap.

LasTools is already integrated with FME but it is not an open source. Will be great if we can processing PointCloud with PDAL library.
Is there a reader for Oracle NMS Mp files? It appears this is an option in the Small World license, but can't find any conformation. Does anyone know if or have a transformer that can be installed for this file type? https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/780/working-with-ge-smallworld-databases.html
There should be a transformer that 'tints' certain features based on a condition in a selectable colour. Say, I want to highlight all features where A=1 in red. Upon running the workspace, all connections through which the highlighted features pass, then should get coloured in red. This way I could easily visually track the flow of certain features through my workspace.
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: Excel Reader: Tick box to enable/disable automatic creation of geometry via x_coordinate, y_coordinate The Excel Reader has the ability to automatically create geometry when it detects fields such as X/Y and Longitude/Latitude. https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/xlsx/XLSX_reader.htm#xyz_coordsI believe it would be handy to have a tick box or selection to enable/disable automatic spatial handling of an excel reader. I understand that in a lot of situations that automatically creating points from an excel may be useful. However, I'm starting to deal with a lot of excel data which stores multiple coordinates for a record (Eastings/Northings as well as Longitude/Latitude) and even adding new excels to older workspaces is causing issues (VertexCreators previously set to 'Add point' by default creating a line geometry). In both situations I'm having to review the parameters of the reader to determine which field is being set to the 'X_coordinate'/'Y_coordinate' or change the field type. In some workspaces it seems like adding a geometry remover straight after the reader is just easier.Interested to hear if anyone else has the same feelings.
There is a constant requirement to have data from ESRI ArcSDE, ArcMap and File Geodatabase made available to Schlumberger Petrel software. This is not the easiest of tasks. It would be good if FME could read ESRI data sources and convert them into a format suitable for Petrel.Likewise, it would be nice to read Petrel data sources and have them made available in the ESRI environment
There is a CAT (Column Aligned Text) Reader - however no writer. You can use the Textfile Writer with TAB - however it is not the same. And you can build a string with fixed number of rows using the Stringformatter to be sure each column is aligned - but still....
Hello,I cant find a way, how to get inverted selection in FME Data Inspector. Is there any button for that? If not, I think that its worth for adding button info Data Inspector.ThanksLubo
