Hi all,

I've created a series of FME scripts that translate geometries in a source DWG file into ESRI consumable SHPs. However, now that I want to change the Writer source to write to the FGDB I created, the scripts won't run properly and say this.

image2imageIs it a matter of adjusting the attributes viewable in the end FC in the FGDB? I was able to set it to manual/automatic with the SHP writer, and everything translated through with no errors.

In my initial transformation from DWG to SHP, the SHP writer geometry enabled the shapefile_first_feature option and dimension from first feature.

image3In the FGDB writer option, I don't see the same option, rather selecting a sepcific type of geometry only (polyline, polygon, point, etc)

image4Would this be where it is going wrong in teh sense that the shp writer enabled for the merging of line/arc/polyline geometries?

ESRI formats are not able to handle multiple types of geometry per feature type, which is why e.g. the FGDB writer forces you to pick a geometry type. The quick solution is to have one feature type for lines and one for areas.
