Transformers

I have 1000 dwg that has text and lines on 2 layer, i want to merge them all in one dwg and the final dwg should have as layer names all the filename and all the objects (text,lines) should be in only one layer which is the filename the come from.e.g t1.dwg, t2.dwg... -> merge.dwg (with two layer t1,t2...) every object from t1.dwg should be inside t1 layer in the merged dwg, same with the object from t2.dwg should be all inside t2 layer on the merged dwg, and so one for all the dwgs used as input.

Hi all I'm trying to add the zip file size to the data download service notification email.  This is the method I'm using: Workspace writes the data to be downloaded and a json file containing the information elements I will use in the email.Python shutdown script gets the zip file size from the zip file and appends a 'zip_size' element to the json (this doesn't work)workspace published as a data download service with its own success topic and publisher.  The publisher is set to access the info in the modified json file (set as 'Data to Post') when workspace published (this doesn't work) I'm not sure if this is possible.  Can anyone suggest any alternatives or ideas? This is my python shutdown script  import os import json import fme def sizeof_fmt(num, suffix='B'):     for unit in ['','K','M','G','T','P','E','Z']:         print "unit: {0}    number: {1}".format(unit, num)         if abs(num) < 1024.0:             return "{number:.{digits}f} {u}{suff}".format(number=num, digits=1, u

Hi all!After upgrading Clipper program I cannot open DBF format file.The error message: 'Corruption detected Clipper'. I tried to search from google but no answer.What's the problem? What should I do?

Hi,How do I transform donut polygons with a variable amount of holes from ESRI database to GML?So far I have only succeeded in transforming one hole per polygon. Below is the code inside my XMLTemplater transformer. <hy-p:geometry>  <gml:Polygon gml:id="id{fme:get-attribute("OBJECTID")}">  <gml:exterior>  <gml:LinearRing>  <gml:coordinates>{fme:get-attribute("_coord_outer")}</gml:coordinates>  </gml:LinearRing>  </gml:exterior>  <gml:interior>  <gml:LinearRing>  <gml:coordinates>{fme:get-attribute("_coord_hole")}</gml:coordinates>  </gml:LinearRing>  </gml:interior>  </gml:Polygon>  </hy-p:geometry>Kind regardsKristina Danielsson

Hello,I am trying to modify the contents of a series of json files, though I only need to remove all of the leading text before the "{"rings"" text. I will have upwards of 130 files to go through, and each has slightly different text to remove. I was thinking of using a StringReplacer to find all the text that I want to remove, then just set the "Replacement Text" to nothing. I'm assuming I need to use regex in the StringReplcaer to identify the series of text in each file that I need to remove. The example of text that I need to remove is:{"displayFieldName":"","fieldAliases":{"OPS_AREA":"OPS_AREA","OBJECTID":"OBJECTID"},"geometryType":"esriGeometryPolygon","spatialReference":{"wkid":102100,"latestWkid":3857},"fields":[{"name":"OPS_AREA","type":"esriFieldTypeString","alias":

Hi people,would anyone suggest how to output sketchup file with correct length units?I recently managed to handle layers with the parameter "sketchup_layer_name". However, any model i produce has inches set as length units. I need to change it to meters.Is there a similar parameter, such as "sketchup_length_unit" ?Thanks,Jaro

I have a dataset of state pesticide permit polygons. Each polygon is identified by a permit number and site id plus there are attributes for effective date and expiration date. In many cases the polygons overlap in one of three ways:1. Edge overlaps where imprecise drawing causes overlaps.2. Polygons are designed to represent the same area. Sometimes these are drawn slightly differently so they are not exact matches3. The same area is divided into different numbers of polygons at different times.What I need to do is take overlap cases 2 & 3 and keep the overlapping polygon with the most recent effective date.

I'm trying to use SystemCaller to run Tesseract (a command-line OCR engine) on my Mac. While the following command line works in Terminal directly, it fails from the SystemCaller:tesseract /Users/westdakota/Documents/Coding_Projects/LSAT_Vocab/Output.png /Users/westdakota/Documents/Coding_Projects/LSAT_Vocab/words (This is all one line; no carriage return. The first path -- despite the name -- is the input file path: a file that was created by the previous step in my workflow, the FeatureWriter; the second is the output file path: the text file of words OCR'd by Tesseract.) Until now, I've only ever used SystemCaller on a Windows machine. Is there anything different I need to know when using it with a Mac?

Hi @mark_1spatialI'm in process of transforming the oracle Spatial data to Autocad.dwg format by creating the FME 2016 workbench(fmw), i'll need to create/define my own symbology/block for a particular POINT feature class(which is not available in my existing Template.dwg), is there any option in FME that we can create/define our own symbology/block for a point feature class that needs to be displayed in the .DWG output file. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a collection of surfacess that want to run a Dissolver on.  The problem is that while all the surfaces are planar, they are in 3D-space and aren't necessarily parallel to the XY-plane.  Dissolver seems to only work with 2D surfaces.   Any ideas?     Thanks Dag

I have a LandXML file that contains clothoids, i.e. spiral geometries. When I inspect the file, I get warnings like this:The Coord child element is not currently supported. FME Currently only supports Chain, Line, and IrregularLine. A Spiral or Curve geometry has been droppedWhat does "dropped" actually mean? The geometries are in fact aggregates of straight line segments and curves (road and rail designs). Some are simple (radial) curves, and some are clothoids (spirals). There seem to be small gaps in the geometries in the data inspector viewer.

Does FME have a transformer for "hiding", as opposed to "removing" an attribute? I am using the FeatureReader to dynamically read a feature class that is specified by parameter. This script is then called for many feature classes. The attributes of any one feature class are thus not exposed.However, for some features I need to access the ID field of the feature class, for example, "FID". I do this by an AttributeExposer in a custom transformer that is only called for a particular feature class. But I don't want the ID field to carry on as an attribute when it is time to write the feature class to the output table. It would be great if I could then "un-expose", or "hide" the attribute, back to the level of visibility it had when I used the feature reader. Is it possible?

Hello,is anybody here, who could help me with XML creating please?What I have to solve: I have one feature with list of references to another features. I need to create XML record which contains all of these references and also keeps number of reference in Index. Example is below:I know that I have to use XMLTemplater, I am able to create schema, but I cant identify, how to figure out list values behaviour and also how to insert into index parameter sequenced value from list.Thank You so much!Lubo

As part of our role in providing humanitarian aid, we need to identify potentially thousands of shelters/tents in refugee camps with ghe aid of current satellite imagery (in the future possibly from drone imagery). It would be sufficient to identify their existence and capture a point feature - perimeter would be a bonus but not absolutely necessary at the moment. Doing verification on automatically generated output would be much faster than the current options of manually digitising elements or field data capture.Is there anyone who has experience in something comparable? I have virtually no experience with raster data, so thought I'd see if anyone in the FME Community has any inputs/thoughts on this.Thanks in advance.

I had the chance to assist a Dale's presentation recently and I noticed his homepage on his MacBook's browser.Do you know what he's using when he opens a new tab? It is not Google nor Safe, I can tell you this!Thanks!

I have the following root template in an XMLTemplater:Where {fme:process-features("FEATURE_CLASSES") occurs I want to insert the following subtemplate within the sequence elements, grouped by an attribute so that it repeats according to how many feature classes I have:The result, however, loses the nesting and leaves elements retreating to the root element level - the subtemplates start inserting at row 6 with the first element showing in the correct position:What can I do to avoid this, or is it just a case of using a separate templater for the subtypes and then appending them into the root in an XMLAppender?

Can anyone suggest a way to use FME to find gaps in a daily time series?I'm looking to generate a report for missing days of data in an effort to QC a dataset and know there must be a way to do this, right?

Hello FME users, I need to trim parts of a string and have been using the Attribute Trimmer's ReplaceRegEx function. I noticed however that while some fields are trimmed correctly while other's aren't. I have not be able to find a patter or correlation between the length or type of string that isn't trimmed perfectly vs. the ones that are. It looks like this:@ReplaceRegEx(<|| Toronto>,<|| Scarborough>,<|| Scarborough|| Toronto>,<|| East York>,<|| North York>,<|| York>,<|| Etobicoke>)The result:Notice how || Etobicoke is still there. I have tried different Attribute trimmer functions like ReplaceString or TrimLeft and the part I want to keep is sometimes trimmed off.Would you have any suggestions for a more effective method or this just a bug?Thanks in advance,

I'm trying to edit my workspace to handle the ovevrlapped polygons on the boundaries.How can I remove overlaps?Here I isolated a location. Dues to overlaps this location is falling under both the polygons. The boundaries on both sides of location are opposite boundaries of overlapped polygons. In other words, boundary shown on right would also be part of left polygon.Please note that this happens only when I write to Netezza.

Thoughts on the most efficient way to get a single raster with the max value from 50+ rasters with the caveat that the top 10% for each pixel need to be discarded.  ex. if a pixel had the following values [0,7,3,7,2,6,8,2,3,1] then the result would be 7.If it has [4,6,8,2,4,9,5,4,9,2] it would be 9.Because of the percent clip, I cannot simply use a RasterMosaicker with Overlapping Values set to Max.The inputs are over 10GB of data, so I would prefer not to coerce to individual points if possible.

Hi,I use the LandXML template to create a LandXMLI would like to insert all the vertex in cgpointwith the template i can export 1 coordinate with Name and Code but i when i try to process my files (multiples points) its not working

I have the following string in an attribute: "Jan 1 1960; Jan 1 1900; Jan 1 1960; 01/05/1890; Jan 1 1960; Jan 1 1960; Jan 1 1960; Jan 1 1960; Jan 1 1960; Jan 1 1960; " I need to extract the earliest year from the attribute, since this is input from a reader the attribute will have different values, but the year will always be in a 4 digit format. I want to use a regular expression to extract the earliest year, in this case it would be 1890. Is this possible?

I like to rename all my attribute names using a list in Excel For example:- Current attributesAaaa | Bbbb | Cccc- Renaming listAaaa | Address Bbbb | Basenumber Cccc | ContactID- New attributes:Address | Basenumber | ContactID What are my options?

Hello, I have a problem with some transformers. I have two shapefile with TERYT number, one shapefile contains TERYT number for communes - e.g. 0201032 and second one TERYT number for country - e.g. 0201. As You see four first characters are the same. I have to trim from right side communes TERYT number to look like as country TERYT number. Secondly, I have to find this trimmed number in a list to say which communes are in the country.  I used AttributeCreator to copy TERYT number, SubstringExtractor to trim commune TERYT number. Now, I would like to use TESTER to check if my new number is in the list and if it passed I would like to create new attriute with contains the name of country. Everything failed on TESTER. Could anyone help me?
