Hello.

I have a searies of Lines coming from a FGDB polyline feature class and I have aggrated them into one polyline. When I then try and write this into another polyline feature class I can't. I can the error message "Cannot write a non-linear feature to a polyline feature class".

I've tried adding in a geometry coercer after the aggregator but this has no effect.

 

 

Hsa anyone experienced this before? Is there an alternative to aggrehator that works for lines?

 

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Are you sure you are writting only lines? I would place a GeometryFilter just before the writer.

 

You can also generate a workspace and FME will place the correct writers set to the geometry type found in the input.

does'nt non-linear suggest somthing like an arc, spline and such?

 

You might want to filter prior to writing to restrictive shape file.

I've tried using a geometry filter this morning and everything came out as a line. 

Perhaps even more bizarre is that I've dissolved the input features in ArcGIS and loaded them into the feature class fine, so there cant be a problem with the lines.

not necessarly, since FME will work on the fully decimal accuracy, while ESRI doesnt, try to round the coordinates decimal places before writting.
