Hi Fmrs,

We are in the process of converting CAD data into ArcGIS plateform and for that we are using FME Beta 2014 Trial version.

As in the process, we encounter numerus attributes (from CAD and User Enterd data into Tables). to clean up the data we need to somehow get rid of these attributes, but somehow also retain them (if the need arise). For that I was thinking to create an attribute in which I would like to put all (or most) of the attribure as comma seperated key:value list.

So far i've come to the point where I can create a list containing all the Attributes as Name and Value.... using AttributeExploder and Keep Geometry to YES, Keep Attributes to No and Exploding type to List, and giving it a list name...

So far so good...... in Data inspector I can see the list and all the values..... but after that I'm lost. Iused AttribureExposer... but no use.

Maybe by using ListConcatinator we can combine the Attribute Names and Attributr Values, But the problem is that the list is not exposing itself so thst we can work on it....... any Idea?

Regards,

Ali.

Hi Ali,

I think the AttributeExposer with this setting will expose the list.

Attribute To Expose: _attr_list{}

HI,

How about the ListExploder to flatten the data ?

Hi Itay,

It might not what I want, I want to concatinate, not sagrigate.....

But the problem lies in that the list shows in Data inspector but not when I apply another Transformer (ListConcatinator), it didnt recognize the list attribute (_attr_list).

Ali
