In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see the chapter About Feature Attributes), this format adds the format-specific attributes described in this section.
All Generate features contain a numeric ID field. The numeric ID is stored in the arcgen_id attribute of an FME feature read from a Generate file or destined to be written to a Generate file.
Tip: Tip: Features being written to an ARCGEN file must have an arcgen_id attribute.
FME considers the basename of the Generate file to be the FME feature type of a Generate feature. The feature type of a Generate feature must match the basename of a Generate file defined by a Generate DEF line. Each feature read from a Generate file has an ARCGEN_GEOMETRY attribute added to it that indicates if the feature came from an arcgen_point, arcgen_line, or arcgen_text file. The writer can also handle homogeneous aggregate features of points, lines or text, which also have an ARCGEN_GEOMETRY attribute.
