M dimension

Hi,

That error message from their end sounds like they need a measure, and your data doesn’t have it. So rather than trying to remove a measure, you need to add the measure. You will need to make sure you have measures in the FME process and also will be stored in the output featuretype.

That was what I also thought at first but she said the opposite and since she is the database speciaist, I did not contradict :-)

Any idea how I add this? Now it only contains 2D data. 

You might be able to get away with just setting the “output dimensions” on the shapefile and not actually creating values:

Unfortunately, that did not work.  If I load the  result back in and I put a measure extractor on it then everything is rejected.  

So looking for a way to add the M dimension. 

Okay, use the MeasureSetter and set the start of the line to 0 (vertex 0 to 0), and another to set the end of the line to the geometry length (vertex -1 to length of the line).  That will at least get a measure on it. Of course, you might have proper measure values to use, stored in an attribute, but logic can be basically the same.

If you want to make sure every vertex has a measure, then throw the measureinterpolator on at the end.

It worked! Thx everybody
