Hi
The best way to do things like this is to create a databse (dbf,csv, mdb,..) contaning a collum / attribute and a key collum (leve) and then use a @Relate() to join the attriubtes onto the features. This way you dont have to hardcode a lot off stuf in the workespace and when you have to change the data and add a level #36 all you have to do is add a new row in the database. I always try to use this approach in my mapping files - let the mapping file do the logick and putt all 'metadata' in a databse, the advantage is 1. it simplifys the mapping file / workspace 2. adding new featues is esay ( just add a new reccord ) 3. cheking and validating the metadata is esay when you have them in one place, and can use the tools i a databse to do this 4. some time you can reuse the db for more than one project I normaly use a dBase file, i workes farst with FME and you can edit it in MapInfo, ArcView, ..., but any database will do. For one project i have databses with 30-40 collumns and 300 rows and it work like a dream:-) Peter Laulund National Survey and Cadastre, Denmark >From: "annettefarrell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: [fme] idgs - associate constants with all levels. >Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2005 18:25:57 -0000 > > > > >My destination dataset has 35 levels. >I was to associate the same constant values with the following >attributes for each level idgs_colour, idgs_type, idgs_weight, >idgs_style. > >Is there a quick way of doing this. > >I notice if I select a level, and the constants that are connected >to, I can make a copy and paste the feature maintaining the constants >connected to the new level. > >That's fine if you haven't already got all the levels set up. > >Any thoughts? > >thanks > >A > > > > > > > > >Get the maximum benefit from your FME, FME Objects, or SpatialDirect via >our Professional Services team.
