Input and Output Parameters
input connection| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Source Files (.pos, .fc1, .dgn) |
Drag and drop your file into the window, or click within the upload box and navigate to the file on your network. A .zip archive can be uploaded if more than one file is required. |
| Coordinate Reference System |
This parameter can be used to specify a Coordinate Reference System (CRS) code of the input data, if it cannot be deduced automatically. This will not re-project the data, but allows its current CRS to be defined (e.g to enable multiple data stores to open where one does not have a CRS defined). Note: Coordinate Reference System parameters are required in a session that will write data to Oracle. See Coordinate Reference System for more information on when this is required. |
| Import FME Log File | Download the FME log file created during import (to help identify any errors). |
| Allow invalid geometries |
Allows features with invalid geometries (e.g. duplicate vertices, self-intersections) to be imported. This is necessary if they need to be imported in order to be validated or corrected. If not ticked then features with invalid geometries are not imported and are logged as feature errors in the open data task. |
| Enable full 3D Geometries (BETA) |
Select to enable full 3D geometries. Note: This parameter will only appear with an additional license enabling 3D support within 1Integrate. For more information on full 3D in 1Integrate, please see 3D Support. |
| Fix ring direction and inclusion errors |
Polygon rings are assumed to be encoded using the right-hand rule, i.e. outer rings are anti-clockwise and inner rings are clockwise. If the service does not guarantee that encoding, then set this flag to have polygon rings automatically oriented on import to avoid later problems when processing the data. Note: This requires a small amount of additional processing so only set if the ring direction is not guaranteed. |
| Reverse Coordinate axis order (y, x) | Reverse the x and y co-ordinate values. Select this if the coordinates are in (y,x) order and are not being read or written in the correct order. |
| Units mode | Define the units mode (Master, Sub or UOR). |
| Units of Resolution (UOR) scale | The number of ground units per UOR. Must be a double-precision floating point number. |
| Global origin of X in Units of Resolution (UOR) |
Override the global origin of X, measured in UORs, from the lower left corner of the design plane/cube.
|
| Global origin of Y in Units of Resolution (UOR) |
Override the global origin of Y, measured in UORs, from the lower left corner of the design plane/cube. |
| Global origin of Z in Units of Resolution (UOR) |
Override the global origin of Z, measured in UORs, from the lower left corner of the design plane/cube. |
| Number of sub units per master unit |
The number of sub units per master unit. Must be an unsigned integer ratio. Used only if Units of Resolution (UOR) scale is not populated. |
| Number of Units of Resolution (UOR) per sub unit |
The number of UORs per sub unit. Must be an unsigned integer ratio. Used only if Units of Resolution (UOR) scale is not populated. |
| Expand cells | Select this option to expand the cells into separate features. |
| Expand unnamed cells | Select this option to expand the unnamed (group hole) cells into separate features. |
| Preserve cell inserts | If selected, outputs the insertion point of the named cell. |
| Preserve unnamed cell inserts | If selected, outputs the insertion point of the unnamed cell. |
| Tag as text | Select this option to display tags. Elements in a design file may have user-defined attributes attached to them, in a form called Tags. |
| Preserve curves |
Controls whether or not curve elements will be stroked into lines by adding vertices. If selected, the control points of the curve are connected into a line. This option preserves the original control points and the end slopes. This is primarily used for DGN-to-DGN translations. If deselected, The control points are used to interpolate a linear representation of the curve. It strokes (vectorizes) the curve (that is, it preserves the shape of the curve). |
| Elevation shift factor | A scaling factor used to generate an elevation shift (to build "fake" 3D topology). The Z value is divided by this factor and the result is added to the X value. |
| Curve vertices |
The number of points per segment when the curve is interpolated into a line. Used only if Preserve Curves is not selected. |
| Trim down tags | If selected, removes the tag attributes. |
| Split multi-text |
If selected, the multi-text is split into text nodes, and the member text elements are output as individual text elements. If the multi-text had any linkage attributes, these will be propagated to the component elements. |
| Explode dimension element |
This parameter controls the way the dimensions are imported. If selected, the dimensions are exploded into its pieces. If deselected, the dimensions are imported as an aggregate. When dimensions are imported as aggregates, the arcs are stroked and text features are output as list attributes only. |
| Read external reference files | If selected, enables the reading of all the supported elements in the external reference files attached to the source dataset. |
| Read external reference files to first level |
Reads all the supported elements in the external reference files attached to the source dataset up to the first level of nesting only. Used only if Read external reference files is selected. |
| Read external reference parent model | If selected, uses the model of the parent file of the external reference file. |
| Read external references as elements | If selected, reference files will be read as individual features with an igds_type of igds_xref. These features are a non-graphical representation of the elements themselves, not the elements stored within the referenced files. |
| Explode multi-line | If selected, splits multi-text into text nodes and outputs the member text elements as individual text elements. If the multi-text had any linkage attributes, these will be propagated to the component elements. |
| Read deleted elements | If selected, used to read deleted elements from V7 design files. |
| Schema include MSLINKS |
These linkage values can be used to join the graphical data held in the design file to the MSLINK field in the related database table. The entity number that is extracted is used to determine the relevant table that holds the attributes (the database contains a table called MSCATALOG which maps entity numbers to table names). Note: Only the first three linkage values will be extracted. |
| Schema include FRAMME |
The UFID is extracted together with the basename of the design file. These two items form a compound key that can be joined to the related FRAMME database. Note: Only the first three linkage values will be extracted. |

| Destination Files (.pos, .fc1, .dgn) |

| Coordinate Reference System |
Required if the data store will be used in a session that will write data to Oracle. This can be used to specify the CRS of the output data if it cannot be deduced from the input data. This will not re-project the data, but allows it’s current CRS to be defined. See Coordinate Reference System for more information on when this is required. |
| Export FME Log File | Download the FME log file created during export (to help identify any errors). |
| Reverse coordinate axis order (y, x) | Reverse the x and y co-ordinate values. |
| Seed file | Set the location of the seed file, which controls whether or not the output file is two-dimensional or three-dimensional, and sets the models, the global origin, and the unit information of the destination file. |
| Allow fill | Controls whether or not fill linkages will be written out for ellipses, shapes, and solids. |
| Create line elements |
If selected, type 3 line elements will be created for two point linear features. If unselected, type 4 elements will be created. |
| Write tags | If selected, the feature type will also be the tagset name. |
