This is Safe Software's technical reference guide to more than 300 formats. It also provides help for Workbench format parameter settings.

• Quick Facts: This table contains high-level information on the format’s characteristics. For raster formats, it also includes raster-specific quick facts.
• Format Reader/Writer Parameters: These topics contain format-specific Workbench parameters.
• User Attributes: User Attributes tab in the Writer Feature Type Properties dialog.
• Writer Feature Type Format Parameters: Format Attributes tab in the Writer Feature Type Properties dialog.
• Feature Representation: FME adds generic feature attributes to all features (see About Feature Attributes). Most formats also add format-specific attributes, which are listed in this section.
• Mapping File Directives (Advanced Users): Most reader and writer directives correspond to Format Reader/Writer Parameters (see above) or Advanced parameters in the Workbench Navigator pane. These sections contain detailed technical information on FME-supported formats, and are intended for a technical audience involved in configuring FME for customized translation.

Product documentation is accessed from the Start menu > FME Desktop > Documentation, and from any FME component Help menu.

By default, documentation is live (online); however, you can also choose to use installed (offline) documentation. From Workbench, select FME Options > Default Paths > Documentation Help Locations.
