FME DESKTOP HOW TO
See an example scenario that converts a CSV spreadsheet to AutoCAD, including how to transform the data in. Look at the ParameterFetcher transformer. A quick guide to getting started with FME Desktop. Here's another question, only slightly less easy. But to start with tell me this, what are our two roles of FME user?
FME DESKTOP PLUS
Now when the workspace is run, the end user can select the color of features to write, plus enter their name into a text field and have it entered into the UpdatedBy attribute in the output.ĭo you remember me? I'm Miss Vector. The author set up these transformers to use the parameter input by selecting it in the transformer like so: Firstly they can be tied to an FME parameter (more information on that in the next section), but they can also be used to provide values to transformers and attributes in a workspace.įor example, here the author is making use of the color and username parameters (in the FeatureColorSetter and AttributeManager transformers): User parameters can be exploited in a number of places. Getting input from a user is pointless if it is not used, so it’s also necessary to actually do something with that input. Think of it as a nano-paradigm shift between the two applications. However, in FME Workbench, prompting only happens when the prompt option is turned on in the menubar: In the FME Quick Translator, the user is always prompted to fill in user parameters when running a workspace. In FME Server, the user is prompted through a web page: About Press Copyright Contact us Creators Advertise Developers Terms Privacy Policy & Safety How YouTube works Test new features Press Copyright Contact us Creators. In FME Workbench (or the FME Quick Translator) the user is prompted through a simple dialog: Once a user-parameter is defined, when the workspace is run the user is prompted to give their input. This allows the workspace author to duplicate existing parameters and make changes - instead of having to build several near identical parameters from scratch - and includes being able to paste a parameter definition into a different workspace from which it was copied.Įntering Information into a User Parameter You can also duplicate, copy and paste user parameters. In this case, they are creating a parameter in which the user can enter their name: Here, for example, two user parameters have been defined:Įach of these user parameters allows the end-user of a workspace to enter information into the translation whether to process line features and what color to write them in.Ī user parameter is easy to create by right-clicking on the User Parameters label and choosing Create User Parameter:Ī dialog appears in which the author can define the parameter. User parameters appear in a particular section of the Navigator window, labeled User Parameters. In other words, they are a way for the end-user of the workspace to provide their input to a workspace. User Parameters are those that are created by an FME author, but for an FME user to use.
