Hi guys,

I am working on a basemap project in arcgis pro now I have to create raster tiles and vector tiles for the basemap.

So my questions are

​1) Can we open and visualize arc gis pro project or map package in FME if yes then how?

2)Can we create raster tiles in FME?

3)Can we create vector tiles in FME?

4)If we are using web Map tiler then can we import our own arcgis schema?

This is a part of my study project ​

Thanks in advance.​

Hi,

That's quite a lot of questions in one go... :-) Did you do some research yourself already? Both on Safe's own website and in the FME community there is a lot of information to be found on the topics you mention.

 

But I will try:

1) If your goal is just to open and visualize an arcgis pro project or a map package, I would recommend to use a proper desktop GIS (e.g. ArcGIS Pro) instead of FME.

2) Yes, you can have look at WebMapTiler

3) Yes, you might have a look at this presentation for some inspiration: Creating Vector Tiles for Background Maps with FME

4) WebMapTiler is about raster data...

 

HTH,

Seconding @egge​ s thoughts above, additionally, you can use FME to call ArcPy which would allow you to work directly with the Esri ecosystem using Esri tools: https://community.safe.com/s/article/using-arcpy-for-fme-feature-processing
