I am using two different source datasets (both are of DGN8 type) in which one of the Dataset contains Clipper Feature. I want all  the features of the both source dataset to be clipped based on the Clipper Feature and also the name of Final Clipped File to have the name of the Dataset containing Clipper Feature. Please let me know, how this can be achieved.

 

I tried exposing fme_basename attribute on the Source Dataset containing Clipper Feature but no result

Hi,

 

 

One possible way I can think of is:

 

If you set parameters of the Clipper like this   Merge Attribute: Yes   Merge Attribute Prefix: clipper_ clipped (INSIDE) features will have an attribute named "clipper_fme_basename" which holds the original "fme_basename" of the clipper. Then, you can write it into the destination dataset.

 

Naturally, you can specify any other string to "Merge Attribute Prefix".

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?
