The E00 writer allows easy generation of E00 files, but also allows you to customize the format and content of the resulting E00 files.
Note: See Controlling E00 Output for detailed information about writing E00 files.
Coverage Precision
All subfiles in a given E00 file or coverage are written out with either single-precision numbers or double-precision numbers. This parameter specifies the precision used for all subfiles of all E00 files written.
Compression
Select the compression level that will be used. You will use less disk space if you select Partial or Full compression; however, many non-Esri applications can only understand E00 files that are not compressed.
Linear Topology
If you select Create, the writer will first create a line-node topology when writing lines. Otherwise, the writer will bypass that step.
File Contents
Character Encoding
This parameter is applicable only if you are working with foreign (non-English) character sets.
For example, if your source data contains foreign characters, using this parameter along with the encoding value ensures that the original data is preserved from the reader to the writer.
If the value is not set, the character encoding will be automatically detected from the source file. If the value is set, it will take precedence over the automatically detected character encoding.
FME supports most encodings.
Advanced
Maximum Output File Size
This parameter allows you to divide the output file into separate files (.e00, .e01, .e02, etc.), based on the size of the file being written.
The value is the maximum size of each file produced. It is specified as a number, optionally suffixed with a lowercase "b" (bytes), "k" (kilobytes), or "m" (megabytes). If there is no such suffix, "bytes" will be assumed.
For example, 1024k will ensure that none of the files exceeds 1 megabyte. When expressed in kilobytes or megabytes, the size is measured using base-2 measurements, therefore a kilobyte is 1024 bytes, and a megabyte is 1024 kilobytes.
The default behavior is not to limit the size of output E00 files.
Suppress arc attributes for polygon coverage
Suppress the generation of arc attributes when writing out polygon coverages (for example, if you want to write polygons out to E00/ArcInfo coverage without creating an Arc Attribute Table [AAT]).
The default is No.
