Hi there,

Is there an FME tool that can output all the file path locations for layers that are saved in an ArcMap MXD file? If so, what is the tool called?

Thanks!

Hi @jennamkdavis, thanks for your question!

 

It looks like despite having a powerful MXD reader, FME cannot find the source path on disk for each layer within an .mxd. It's a great idea, though - and I'd recommend heading over here to add a few comments if this is something that you'd like to see implemented in FME.

 

I do know that this kind of functionality is included in ESRI's ArcPy. Take a look at the ListLayers function and Layer objects for some hints on going that route, which could be wrapped in a PythonCaller and run from an FME workbench.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Nathan

Hi Nathan,

Thanks for your response -- bummer that FME doesn't support this, but I'll definitely check out the ListLayer function that you mentioned.
