I want to extract XFM data from the attached dgn file. I have tried using the Bentley Map V8XFM reader in both FME 2017 & 2018, but am unable to do so. I have exposed the igds_xfm* attributes as well. Is there a way out ?

Hi @bb,

I simulated your case in my machine exposing the elements from the reader:

You can check the attributes in Data Inspector - Table View:

Attached the Workspace template - workspace-dgn.fmwt

Thanks,

I did another workaround and was able to read the data. I attached BinaryEncoder to the reader with Base64 Encodingtype on igds_xattributes{0}.data attribute. Then i connected the output to TextDecoder with Base64 encodingtype and System Default option in Character Encoding. The destination attribute "_decoded" in the inspector table showed me some meaningful data. I wrote the output in a csv file. Will have to format the output. Thanks a lot Danilo.
