The suffixes listed are prefixed by the current <ReaderKeyword> in a mapping file. By default, the <ReaderKeyword> for the IDEX reader is IDEX.
The IDEX reader does not require DEF lines.
DATASET
Required/Optional: Required
The value of this directive is the IDEX file to be read. A typical mapping file fragment specifying an input IDEX file looks like:
Example:
IDEX_DATASET c:\idex\map.idx
Workbench Parameter: Source Leica IDEX File(s)
SNAPPING
Required/Optional: Optional
With the snapping option enabled, this reader tries to reconnect all polygons and lines missing either points or edges.
Example:
IDEX_SNAPPING YES
SEARCH_ENVELOPE
Using the minimum and maximum x and y parameters, define a bounding box that will be used to filter the input features. Only features that interact with the bounding box are returned.
If all four coordinates of the search envelope are specified as 0, the search envelope will be disabled.
Mapping File Syntax
<ReaderKeyword>_SEARCH_ENVELOPE <minX> <minY> <maxX> <maxY>
Note: If all four coordinates of the search envelope are specified as zero, the search envelope will be disabled.
Required/Optional
Optional
Workbench Parameter
Minimum X, Minimum Y, Maximum X, Maximum Y
SEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM
This directive specifies the coordinate system of the search envelope if it is different than the coordinate system of the data.
The COORDINATE_SYSTEM directive, which specifies the coordinate system associated with the data to be read, must always be set if the SEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM directive is set.
If this directive is set, the minimum and maximum points of the search envelope are reprojected from the SEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM to the reader COORDINATE_SYSTEM prior to applying the envelope.
Required/Optional
Optional
Mapping File Syntax
<ReaderKeyword>_SEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM <coordinate system>
Workbench Parameter
Search Envelope Coordinate System
CLIP_TO_ENVELOPE
This directive specifies whether or not FME should clip features to the envelope specified in the SEARCH_ENVELOPE directive.
Values
YES | NO (default)
Mapping File Syntax
<ReaderKeyword>_CLIP_TO_ENVELOPE [yes | no]
Workbench Parameter
Clip To Envelope
