Transformers

As a new user of FME, I would like to understand if it can extract tables from PDF to excel sheet?

Hidoes anybody know of a good alternative to the spatial filter? Due to the volume of data involved it doesn't seem feasible to use the spatial filter but I can't really see an alternative. Unfortunately I have around 3 million polygons to pass through a filter of around 1 million polygons. I have used a feature reader to break up the data into manageable chunks, which makes the workspace run at a reasonable speed but this requires me to rerun it multiple times with each chunk. I was hoping to be able to run it in one go. Using a workspace runner has also helped with processing, but again, still not feasible to run it in one go.

I have a baseline and I want to offset it to create several lines. With these lines I would like to create a surface and convert it to a solid.In my opinion it is a very simple model, but to run it, it takes a lot of time.What do I wrong? thanks!

I am looking for ways to create 2 bypass lines and point. Refer to the attached screenshot. 2 lines and 1 point in black are existing. Looking for ideas on how to build 2 bypass lines and point red in color.

Hi guys I was wondering if FME could be used with automating what I need. It's easy to do manually, but potentially need to do this 100's of times. Basically I need Shortened "Share" Google Map URLs from a GPS bearing, and a QR code of the google maps. So e.g. I put in GPS beraing: 55.982017, -4.258112 Then I get these results:    would be great to set up a simple web site to have a form for this

Hello FME Community, First time posting here! Hope to explain my problem better with screenshots of my current situation and what I hope to achieve. I have 3 empty columns I like to them to be filled with values from Status_Percentage.sum based on the feature's status (e.g. Built, Intended, Interim).  The result should look like this:The image shows values from Status_Percentage.sum filled to each empty columns based on the feature's status.  I've looked into AttributeManager and conditional values but not getting what I want. I've been advised to look at VariableSetter and VariableRetriever but am not familiar with the transformers.  Any

I have data in the following structureI need to get it into the following structureAfter the data has been transposed I intend to carry out some transformations on it so ideally this would be part of a workflow rather than the end of it. And the exact name, type and number of attributes will change with each run so the workflow needs to be dynamic.I've been going round in circles with AttributePivot, AttributeTransposer, AttributeExploder, Aggregator to no avail.  Anyone got a way of doing this?    

So I have some areas that have gaps. I used an area amalgamator to combine them. It works really well. However, it makes the polygon/area have tons of points. Is there a way to reduce the number of points on the polygon? In the screenshots, before Amalgamation, the number of polygon points is probably 10-20. After, there are probably a hundred points that make up the polygon. All are very close together and could be removed and still keep the shape

In the SQL Creator transformer, what is meant by 'attributes to expose'. When do I need to use it? For example if I have a query which extracts fields, wouldn't the attributes be exposed from the query itself.

Is the UUIDGenerator using the algoritm to generate IETF UUID version 4 (random) ? If so, can you add to documentation with reference to the IETF standard ? If it is version 4 (random), can you explain which library is used as seed for the random number?

I looking to filter a classified las1.4 LiDAR file, to extract the model key points (classification_flags = 1) on classification = 2 (ground). Although classification_flags doesn't seem to be an attribute and is null if i expose it.-LAS reader-PointCloudFilter (class =2)-AttributeExposer > classification_flags (returns null)-PointCloudFilter > should filter by flag here. Any helps would be much appreciated.

Hello, I have a shapefile with various polygons on land parcels. I've been tasked figure out the dimensions of the polygons and display them on a map for engineers and planners to examine. How would I go about this using FME 2018.1?Since some of the polygons have curves, I figured I would use the PolylineAnalyser tool from the Hub and use the Segment output. Then use the Sorter to first sort by the ObjectID and then by the angle of the segment. Then I wanted to merge line segments that are within a 2-3 degrees range of each other so I would get a continuous line, instead of a bunch of small lines to make up a side of a polygon. Perhaps I'm going about this entirely wrong and there is an easier way to do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

I am using a test filter to filter out all the different values of a feature type. In this case there are 21 different values, so I have to manually create 21 different test conditions. Is there a way to automatically create the test conditions? I also have features with more that 50 different values, which would be a lot of work to filter out manually.   

Hi, I'm trying to use the XML Flattener to extract the attributes from an xml response_body: <loggers><summary><APIVersion>DatagateAdmin V2.48 (14-Sep-2020 12:38)</APIVersion><accountID>5279</accountID><accountName>Main Account for all SWW loggers</accountName><accountOwnerId></accountOwnerId><accountHighestMessage>4526752363</accountHighestMessage><accountUpdateTime>2020-09-28 08:39:17.6</accountUpdateTime><accountNumLoggers>2563</accountNumLoggers><CentreLongitude>-3.86433819774539</CentreLongitude><CentreLatitude>50.6236029248117</CentreLatitude><MinimumPhoto>0</MinimumPhoto></summary><logger><l

I have a set of geometry 3D objects containing, points, surfaces, cubes, and lines. Each geometry object in the set has attributes defined for them but the attributes are read into the workspace through a different reader.The geometry and attributes for this set are coming from the same file originating from AutoCAD Mechanical 2020.1) How can I join the set of attributes to the set of geometry objects?I have tried using FeatureMerger with a join on `_geometry` which is successful for points because the geometry matches the 'insertion point' of the attributes being read in but the join fails when the geometry is 3D or not of equal size.I have tried Matcher with vector tolerance but the results were not was I was looking for. Could be a transformer configuration problem.I have tried NeighborFinder but the results were not was I was looking for. Could be a transformer configuration problem.

 Here is my original file. I made my own line style for different objects.Then I make the simplest transformation with FME and it saves my line style.  and then I write dgn file and in it, I see another line style. in some cases I can see one of default line styles, but sometimes it uses my added style but not that one, that I used before FME

I am looking for some advice on the best way to validate data coming from a LISCAD survey drawing? I know LISCAD can convert to LandXML so wondering if that might be a good option and looking for any advice on that as well.

I've been looking around trying to figure out how to extract subsets of some contour data based on where they fall within some polygon contour regions I have built. I have 10 polygon regions identified with a region name attribute. I'd like to input my large contour line data and get 10 separate subsets of contour data out based on the region they fall within. I've looked at Spatial Filter and a few other extract transformers, but can't figure out the best way to proceed. Thanks for any help!

The idea is to create a generic workflow which will validate any dataset by checking all its attributes, calculating some statistics etc.I separated it into 2 (maybe even 3 workspaces) where parent workspace reads the dataset and creates a parameters for the child workspace which is analyzing the data. The only problem is - how to set up the AttributeValidator using these parameters? I did that without any problems with the Attributes to Expose parameter of the FeatureReader (list of attribute names with space separator). I am using 2020.1.2.0 (20200902 - Build 20620 - WIN64)

Here's some screen shots of the very simple shp to dwg workspace and the workspace runner parameters 

Dear community, I am once again struggling with the transformation from dwg to ifc. My aim is to write simple ifc-objects or proxy-objects derived from extruded dwg-circles and added attribute information. I applied the method from the fme ACAD2IFC tutorial, but no geometry is written. Any hints on how to proceed? thanks in advance!
