Hello Mark,
thank you for answering so quickly. The more I work with FME the
better I realize the power of that mighty tool...
and of course more and more questions and ideas come up to my mind.
Here are two further questions which I'm not able to answer by myself
right at the moment:
1) The workflow:
I work with dxf AUTOCAD files. Some Objects (e.g. Polygons) are
grouped (AUTOCAD Block) with
text attributes. An object may have up to 3 different attributes, but
it isn't guaranteed that every object has 3 attributes, some have
none, some have 1 attribute and so on...
At first I use the GeometryFilter to distinguish between the area and
the attributes (text).
The text results then in a ListBuilder (Group by:
autocad_block_number), which I expose to the three possible list entries.
And here is the problem: Due to the fact that it isn't guaranteed that
an area has all of the 3 possible attributes, some attributes result
in a wrong list entry.
Now my question: Is it possible to distinguish the attributes from
each other e.g. by a leading character and after this routing them to
the right list entry or to a new list?
The first character of an attribut is always in the same manner, it is
either a "Z" or a "A" or a number, e.g. "200".
2) The workflow:
Again dxf AUTOCAD files. Again objects (here: lines) are grouped.
After joining them with the LineJoiner I receive lines having more
than two coordinates.
But: these lines are straight lines that should only have 2 (!)
coordinates. Is it possible to keep the first and the last coordinate
and remove the rest? I know there is a coordinate remover, but
this transformer removes only one coordinate and even if I put several
of them behind each other there is still the problem that every line
may have a different number of coordinates.
I hope you're able to help me again, thank you in advance
Markus
