I have a multi-arc feature in ArcGIS (4 parts) but FME treats it differently. Any suggestion?

The personal geodatabase:

Thanks in advance.

Just based on your screenshot I'm guessing that "Parte 1" (in the ArcGIS screenshot) got collapsed into a single point by FME and then removed since it was no longer a line segment.

For quality control purpouses that behavior could be a problem because I can´t check "Parte 1" related issues. Is there a way to avoid the collapse? Any suggestion about the nested elements in "Part 0" (FME)?

I agree completely about the quality control aspect, but unfortunately I don't know the answer in this case. You should contact Safe support for this issue. Link them to this post as well.

 

 

On a general note: I work a lot with datasets containing arcs and they are a constant source of problems. I've heard that FME 2018 will have a lot of improvements in this regard, but I haven't had the chance to test yet.

 

 

There is an outstanding issue in FME 2017.1.2.1 with arc definitions that sometimes change when writing to ArcSDE Geodatabases, but I'm not sure if it's linked to the behavior you're observing.
