Reading s57 with FME

Hi All,

 

I'm trying to load S57 data with FME but have a few questions:

 

 

- FME Insists that catalogs have the .030 extension. However all the Hydrographic offices we deal with provide a file called CATALOG.031 instead. Even renaming the extension FME refuses to read it. How do you read the catalog file? Apparently since S57 Edition 3.1 (dated 2000), it's always been .031.

 

 

- FME only seems willing to read the .000 file for datasets. This works fine. However we have other extensions as well (such as .001, .002 and upward). FME struggles read to read these and shows no geometry. As I understand it these are "updates" to the given chart. How does FME handle these?

 

 

(Using FME 2014 SP3).

 

 

Thanks.

The S57 Readers pages in the manual can help:

At least the part about the updates (.001 etc) is explained.

I am not sure if this is valid for FME 2014 SP3.

I guess this is JMO ;-) ? If so it's only been 18 months since this question was asked. Anybody?
