Does anyone know which attribute (s) you have to work with if you want to be able to get to standing(vertical) text in a dwg export? I have a workspace where I load text (regular text in plan) from a autocad dwg. I want to rotate the text 90 degrees around the x-axis so that it becomes upright (this so that it can be better consumed in eg Navisworks) I have tried with 3D rotator which usually works but it does not seem to work for Text objects.My workaround is the moment to use a Textstroker and then to rotate the polygon objects it creates. The polygon objects rotate just fine with the 3D rotator. However, I would like to have the vertical text as text objects rather than polygons. I know that FME can handle vertical text objects because i tried importing a file with vertical text and export it to a new dwg, the text i still standing. There must be a way:)

I would love to hear from anyone that has some experience in validating data in AutoCAD viewports / paperspace.I have managed to create a workspace that validates the data in model space but where there is additional data in paperspace and viewports is proving a little trickier.If you have some examples or strategies that would be great.ThanksDean

Hello,I have two columns Category and Class already filled.

My workflow is simple. I use shp files generated from Land Cover metadata to clip the ERDAS Imagine file and convert it to polygons. Each shapefile contains a polygon as a clipper. As instructed by the forum discussion,1) In Workspace1, I set the workflow options as "Single Merged Feature Type" and I chose one of the shape files in my sample data folder (which contains three sample shp files).The output file is named based on the input shapefile name.2) In Workspace2 - Path Reader setting, I set the dataset folder to sample folder and only read in shp files.3) In Workspace2 WorkspaceRunner setting, pointed the FME Workspace to Workspace1 - tile2polygon.fmwset the shapefile to p

Hello,I have six polyline features, where each node of the polyline has a measure(I used MeasureSetter earlier in the workbench)I want to create two new attributes "MIN" and "MAX" where;MIN = the measure value of the first node in the polylineMAX = the measure value of the last node in the polylineI think I need to use the MeasureExtractor to do this? But I cannot get it to workI tried Type: Individual Vertex by Index, with Index: 0 but the result was <missing> 

Hi All,I have my data in the form given below. The data from 1507 to 2451 is a header and the three rows highlighted in green are one set of data and another set is appearing below it with differing values.Now i want to have the data in the format:where A to J are my columns names from the header (A-J may change in number like sometimes A-F or A-I or A-J as well). Value is coming from first row of the set of data and text from the third row of the set of data.Sometimes the data may be missing also. e.g the second row may be missing and only two rows are there. so for that value we have to write nothing in the main table (shown above)

We are attempting to create aerial data. Using FME Desktop 2014, is it possible to convert multiple TIFF files into a single ECW file?

Hi Community In ArcGIS i create lines and points and for each project i need to create Area's that contain a (almost) fixed amount of features inside the area. The Boundary of the Areas that are generated should not intersect any other features. For example i have a total of 33 features and i want to make area's (zones) that that have about 10 features inside and 0 features that are not fully within. Below i show a rough example of my data and another example of my goal.keep in mind that i do not know before hand how many features are going to be processed. it can be up to 50k or just a few hundred. but i always want groups of about 10 features.The shape of the area's boundary should be as generalized as possible (no complex shapes) as this might happen when you try to force a fixed amount of features inside.How would you aproach this problem? I have tried it myself several times and i always get stuck somewhere down the road. I

Hello, I am relatively new to FME and try to extract a certain file from a downloaded ZIP file. From this particular file, all I know is that it contains a particular string. I realize that you could do all this by hand, but I would like to automate the workflow because it is quite common. One possibility would be to unzip this file with a system caller, but then I am overwhelmed how to proceed without adding a new reader to the Workbench.

Hello All,I have found a few great posts that helped me get the order of vertices in a polygon but am trying to work out the how to get the start and end coordinates in correct order.My workflow is as follows:1. Read in polygon features2. Use Chopper and counter to break into points and attribute.3. Use Chopper and counter to break into lines4. Use PointOnLineOverlayer to get the start and end coordinated.5. Attribute lines with Start and End point ids. What I am finding is that the start end end points are correct but the order in the line table is not.In the example below, I have a triangular parcel where it goes from point 81736 to 81735 to 81750, so I hoping to get something like1 - 81750 to 817352 - 81735 to 817363 - 81736 to 81750but am getting the following

Hi, I have to add an image in a table. Which trasnformers that I have to use to insert image from a raster into a table? Someone can help me ?

Hi!I'm looking to create some 3d parallel offsets of existing 3D polylines. My end goal is to actually create a polygon a certain width around a polyline but it must retain the 3d elevations. I've looked into the following tools: Offsetter, OffsetCurveGenerator, Buffer and 3DBufferer. All of these are close however don't quite get me there. The buffer is perfect however is only 2D. I do not know how to then restore the elevations so that it retains its 'parallel figure'. Note that the vertices of the 3D polys have different values, they are not all the same value, ie goes up and down.Any suggestions?Buffer result:Buffer result 3D view:

Hello, I have a set of points with x, y and z coordinates. I would like to create a buffer around those points and then use that buffer to clip a point cloud data.How should I proceed? I tried to swap the Y and z coordinates and then perform a two dimension clip operation but it doesn't give anything.

Hello,I would like to create random points within polygons based on a pre-defined stratification and number of plots field. For example, within the LBS-1-Old strata, 53 random points are needed; however, only one point per polygon is required. Additionally, all points need to be separated by at least 200m. Ideally, the points would also be 200m from the edge of the polygon as well. The ArcGIS 'Create Random Points' tool can create these points based on the NUM_PLOTS field and separate them by at least 200m; however, multiple plots per polygon are possible and ensuring points are farther than 200m from the edges is not. I was wondering if a FME workflow could address all requirements. Thanks.

I have a simple FME Workspace which runs perfectly. However, creating then running the associated TCL file (via .BAT file) is for some reason adding the source-directory parent-folder to the destination directory. This does not happen when running the .fmw alone. FMW Example: Reader Source - "C:/Temp/SourceData/" ; Writer Destination - "C:/Temp/OutputData/" ; Run TCL - adds "SourceData/", thus saving writer results to "C:/Temp/OutputData/SourceData/". Note: the TCL runs successfully, however the results are being written into this subfolder. I can only guess that the TCL file is including code which adds the parent folder...? (The workspace is not doing this.) Any ideas? Thank you!

I am using Kafka connector in my FME job to consume data from Kafka topic. On this job uses this particular consumer group. In case of restart scenario, I want to run the job configuring kafka connector to read from a specific topic. While I do that I need to mention partition number in Kafka connector. My topic has multiple partitions. So how would I tell Kafka connector that it should consider all partitions for restart.

I have a workbench that creates an ECW wind heat map from a TIFF file. I have now created another image (png, JPEG or BMP) as a legend that I want to place on top of the ECW heat map, at a specific location. I was unable to find a way to do this, but may be missing an easy way to do this? Two steps are required.1. Place the legend image on top of the ECW heat map.2. Place it at a specific position and at a specific size before finalising the ECW image. Any help on how to do this would be much appreciated.

I have a FME-script with several Python callers. To avoid duplicate code in the callers I want to write a general python class that I can instantiate in the callers. In short I want to be able to access object methods to set specific object variables. Finally I want to call a main-method on the class to do the real work.  Where should the Class be placed? In the startup script? In another caller or elsewhere?
