Im using the AttributeValidator to test words appears in my .csv file. It finds the following no problem - raised defence (man-made), but it keeps failing for the following - sea defence (man-made), even thought it appears in the list to test for. I have checked spelling and made sure there are not any extra spaces but it doesnt seem to recognize the word in the .csv file. Has anyone else had a similar problem? 

Can someone give me a hand on the RegExpression to extract a bunch of coordinates from this XML table. The column they are stored in has a lot of other information in various formats.

I have a col A which has values from 1-5. Can we get the list of all values of col A from 1-5. If so, could you please help me with the logic.Thanks!

hi,Is it possible to use TaperLineBufferer to create a buffer to only the left or the right side of line?Thanks

Within AutoCAD / Civil3D it is possible to add metadata on block definitions, not being attributes. Somehow I cannot access these metadata fields in FME. Does any one have a solution for that?Figure 1. Blocks with attributes, this information is accessible within FME. Figure 2. Metadata information of selected block shown in Figure 1.  I have tried enabling user defined properties and XDATA, but somehow I cannot acces the metadata.I am using FME2017.1.1. The final goal is to write these metadata properties into a new dwg. I know I can add these as attribute properties to the block definition, but that is not what the user wants as its final result. Added you'll find the example DWG.

Bonjour,Je débute encore sur FME et ma question va peut être paraître idiote mais j'ai beau tourner les configurations dans tous les sens je n'arrive pas à trouver la solution.Je souhaite étiqueter des rues à partir du nom présent dans la table attributaire de mon tronçon de rue.Lorsque j'utilise MapTextLebeller j'ai, sous mes étiquettes, une série de ponctuel dont je n'arrive pas à me débarrasser. Savez-vous comment faire pour avoir uniquement les étiquettes sans les points lors de mon export?Merci d'avance!Cordialement,

Hi allIm struggling to hit a specific gml setup and for this I need to split up a line of coordinates every 4 coordinates (I have no idea why the gml has to be this way.). I guessing i need to use regular expressions but im stumped as to how to write one that gives the right result.an example string of coordinates that i have extracted using geometryextractor -> GML v2.1.2 looks like this:711744.265,6175978.47 711791.544,6175982.446 711792.0123,6175979.7872 711792.5482,6175976.5078 711772.1563,6175974.7882 711755.5244,6175973.3985 711755.7058,6175970.729 711758.604,6175934.878 711722.2771,6175932.0269 711681.914,6175928.848 711683.786,6175998.563 711704.5651,6176000.163 711742.48,6176003.089 711744.265,6175978.47but it needs to look like this for the gml to work for its intended purpose:711744.265,6175978.47 711791.544,6175982.446 711792.0123,6175979.7872 711792.5482,6175976.5078 711772.1563,6175974.7882 711755.5244,6175973.3985 711755.7058,6175970.729 711758.604,6

Hi,I have recently upgraded my FME to 2016 and I am getting some weird output. I am writing a MITAB file. From the last transformer I have an inspector and everything is correct and normal but then it goes to the writer and the output MITAB file would come out incomplete.Has anyone ever experienced that? How can I fix it other than maybe re-writing the whole workbench..?Thanks!

Hi,I have polyline with polyline_id with start and end measure (ex : 0 and 100). And another descriptive information (without geometry) with start and end measure (ex. 50 and 75) and the polyline_id.I did featureMerger and then snipper with measure value.But I got the whole polyline (0 start and 100 end ) but I want polyline with (50 and 75)There is something wrong. Any idea how can I get it. Thanks

I'm wondering what is planned for the first webcast on November 1st, 2017. Any details would be appreciated?

I was talking to a FME Server friend and they asked about how others are dealing with log monitoring, management and analysis for FME Server. They mentioned tools like Splunk, Solarwinds, Liberato. What tools are people using? What processes are in place? What gotchas are there? Best practices? Tips and Tricks? What are the main reasons for undertaking log monitoring, management and analysis?

Please, I’m having some challenge creating a user parameter (usable in the FME Quick translator) that allows the user to specify an ‘attribute’ to participate in a query that selects a list of settlements planned for visit on a particular day of a campaign so that only settlements with a Y (yes) value for e.g. day_1 (selected by the user) participate in the analysis for that day.Sample table:What I already did:Created a user parameter called ‘Day_of_Campaign’ (type: choice) where I have preloaded options day_1, day_2, day_3 etc. representing the attributes (tried using type: attribute name but this doesn’t allow you a drop down of the choices using the ‘FME Quick translator’ (I want less interaction with the actual workspace - need this run from the quick translator so the users don't mistakenly alter the workspace/transformations) ‘Set workbench to prompt…’ so that this parameter prompts the user for an input (e.g. day_1, day_2 etc) using the FME Quick Translator. But before then

HelloI have a lot of points with coordinates x,y in latitude,longitude.These points are grouped in records. Each record is identified with an unique identifier. Call it "Id". Each record can have multiple points In a record each point must be joined to the next one following it by 2 means :1- a straight line 2 - an arc of circleWhen the arc of circle is used, we need to have the center point coordinates and the radius. An attribute is used for that with the coordinates of the 2 points which have to be joined to form the arc. The end point has to be joined with the first one by a straight line. I have to draw this geometry for each record and i don't know the way of doing this. 1 - polygones 2 - polygones with arc of circles.Any help would be great

Hello.This might be a strange question since it does not take into account the Earth. Also, I am quite new to this topic but I did research. I found a lot of things but I never got the result I wanted from various calculators and doing it manually is hard since I am not that familliar with this math.I was wondering, is there some way to calculate XYZ -> degrees for other bodies with different radius?For example, this is one of solved:Planet Radius: 2094km, Earth Masses: 0.0541, X: -1786579.7, Y: 519690.56, Z: -959322.31This equals: Latitude: 9.2921 and Longitude: -153.9814. I figured that Y and Z are Lat\\Long.I have no idea how to get this result. Ive tried various calculators like: https://beta.ngs.noaa.gov/gtkweb/ but I just cannot get the correct numbers.If anyone can offer any insight into this issue I would be very grateful. Thank you. 

I have a point cloud in ascii format with columns for x, y, z and classification.I want to extract the values of x and y in two new attributes (as a list) which I can use for further processing. How can I achieve this?

i have chopped up a set of lines into signal circuits which seems to be working great. Each signal circuit has two signals that define the begin and end of a circuit(with an associated attribute that should identify which circuit it belongs to). The issue I'm having is that there are two points in exactly the same location, one that has a corresponding attribute with the previous signal circuit and one that corresponds with the following signal circuit. I need to match an attribute of the circuit to the points so that i can bring some attributes from the point into the correct signal circuit.

An error occurred while attempting to add a shape to a feature buffer. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147210926'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {Closed polylines not allowed with network features [class name = wLateralLine, object id = 3688]}I am having this error all the time. I checked the geometry and realized that there are some arcs.Then I used GeometryCoercer but it didnt fix the problem.

Hello,I am merging multiple rasters into a single mosaic utilizing the RasterMosaicker. My objective is to find the maximum value across all rasters for each cell and then assign the matching reader for that highest-value cell. I'm having no problem obtaining the max value, however, I'm running into issues when trying to associate that cell with it's proper reader.I've tried exposing the fme_basename and creating an attribute, but when the mosaic is created, each cell is given the attribute of the first raster (rather than the raster that the highest value is coming from)Any help would be much appreciated.Thanks.

Hi, BackgroundFME 2017.1I'm cutting impervious cover data at parcels and i'm getting an error on write. Error: The number of points is less than required for feature. Two causes are listed on ESRI's website - A polyline feature with two vertices that are both located at the same location- A polygon feature with less than three vertices.I took a closer look at the features i'm writing and counted the vertices using NumCoords() FME Feature Function - all had 3 or more verticesI also took a look at the vertex coordinates for each feature and found that they had duplicate coordinates. This seems to be the problem. Question 1Is there a good way to remove duplicate vertices?  I tried Geometry validator with the Duplicate Consecutive Points checked, but the write still failed with the same error. I've also tried Geometry Refiner with no luck.   Question 2Running the polygons through the Snapper transformer is working, but i'd like to do my best to change the data as li

Seeking to convert a large 3D AutoCAD (dwg) project into ESRI Shapefiles (points, lines, and polygons). Converting dwg to individual shp was accomplished using FME and the shapefiles are 3D so now I need to read .shp, tranform the x, y coordinates, keep the z coordinate intact, and output as a new .shp into the Greek Greed (GGRS87). However, my shapefiles have no spatial reference because the original is an older Greek system based off HATT projection and Bessel Elipsoid 1841. This system developed by the Greek military divides the country into 109 zones/mapsheets. I am using mapsheet 257 ????? ????????? and want to convert all my points, lines, and polygons from this older system to the more modern GGRS87. Outside of FME I have a formula to convert x,y but it strips out z-values. Therefore, I am asking is it possible in FME define this older spatial reference, apply a xy coordinate translation, preserve the z values, and write out in GGRS87 (which FME supports)?

Hi,I'll try to explain my problem easy as possible :)So I have table where is lots of rows but only two different attributes.. I would like to combine rows together by their attributes. For example:Start looks smthing like this. ID1ID2100101101102102103500501501502200102And I would like to combine attributes after eachother as long as there is attribute to combine with..ID1ID2ID3ID4100101102103500501502200102103For now I manage to make attributes after eachother till there is no more, but problem comes with duplicate attributes what I would like to avoid.ID1ID2ID3ID4100101102103101102103102103500501502501502200102103It seems so simple task to get rid of, but can't get my head on it what im missing.
