I am new to FME. I would like to convert the shape file / CAD file to file GDB / Personal GDB with Feature Dataset. how do I create Feature dataset using FME?
Hi

 

 

In feature type properties of the GDB writer ( format parameters tab) you can specify a feature dataset, FME will create the feature dataset and feature class belonging to it.

Hi,

 

If you want to write into a specific table (Feature Type), you can add the GDB-Writer first and chosing "No" when asking if you want to add a new Feature Type. After that you go to the point "Writers" in the menu bar and chose "Import feature types...". Finally when clicking the "Parameters"-Button you will see the field "Table list" where you can find the table you want to write in.

 

cheers,

Hello

 

I didn't discover how to create feature dataset in FME 2013 since some settings are different. Can you help me with that?

 

Thank you!

(Although already 4 years old, I had the same question and couldn't find the answer easily)

@etls_itay answered it pretty much, but he didn't mention you must create a GDB ArcObjects writer, as it won't work with a GDB API one. Then in the writer go to Properties > Format Parameters where you will find a box to set the Feature Dataset name:
