Esri ArcGIS Layer Feature Representation

In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Type Attributes), this format also adds format-specific attributes (Format Attributes).

The ArcGIS Layer modules make use of the following special attribute names.

Attribute Name	Contents
geodb_type	The type of geometric entity stored within the feature. The valid values are listed below: geodb_point geodb_multipoint geodb_polyline geodb_arc geodb_ellipse geodb_polygon geodb_annotation geodb_dimension geodb_simple_junction geodb_simple_edge geodb_complex_junction geodb_complex_edge For a description of the attributes belonging to each of the different geodb_type’s, please see the chapter Esri Geodatabase Reader/Writer.
geodb_feature_is_simple	Indicates whether or not the geometry is simple.
