I have a file geodatabase with multiple features and I am using a shapefile to cut 3 small areas from the various layers in the file gdb. Whether I import the file gdb as a single merged feature or individual feature types I seem to get an output that has merged the attribution. For example my building poly now contains the columns in the attribute table for building point (all fields are null). I want to just cut and for the attribution to stay the same.

Hope this makes sense and thanks for any advice.

Is the merge attributes box in the clipper unticked?


Hi @bjudes, thanks for your question!

 

 

Would you be able to post your workspace for troubleshooting? I'm wondering if you have any of the "Merge Attributes" parameters turned on in your Clipper, which is causing this. I believe there should be away to 'cleanly' clip your feature classes, if I understand your question correctly.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Nathan

Yes it is .

 

 


Hi @bjudes,

Be sure your output Dynamic Feature type has no User Attributes Present. Also double check that your SchemaSource is set up correctly (below image). If you re-add the writer and choose dynamic mode for the Definition FME should sort it our automagically for you.

 

If you've added the writer in a different mode (e.g., 'Manual') and then changed it to 'Dynamic' then the changes I mentioned above should clear it all up.

Hi Matt, I re-added the writer and chose dynamic mode and that seemed to have fixed the problem. Thanks so much for the answers to all, this is a great and helpful community.
