Convert Cartology ecw to shape

I have a large number of Innogistic Cartology (16 bit) .ecw files that I need to convert to ESRI Shape. Can this be done using FME? 

 

 

These .ecw files are not the same as ER Mapper .ecw files. 

 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

 

You can check out the readers and writers documentation for the  formats FME is capable of handling.

Hi,

 

 

looking at the list of supported formats at the Safe website, it doesn't seem like that format is supported, unfortunately.

 

 

In your place, I'd consider the following options:
  1. contact the developers of the Cartology software to see if they have a tool that can automate the conversion of their proprietary format into another format supported by FME.
  2. open the files with the Cartology software and see if there is an option to export the data into any other formats (Save as...?)
  3. contact Safe support to see if they have any experience with this particular format.

@fmenovice what was the solution to this? I now have the same problem and was hoping to use FME for this but it is not a supported format!

@andrewfitzThere isn't one. The original poster describes his Cartology files as 16bit ECW's. I don't know how Cartology ECW's differ from ERMapper files but if a file's 16 bit it's raster data. Shapefiles store vector data.
