Feature Representation

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

GDMS features consist of both geometry and attributes. The attributes on the features depend on whether the feature is a result of input VERTICES and CROSSREF files, or whether it is from a TEXTDATA file. The gdms_feature_type identifies the entity’s geometric type and has these ranges:

  • gdms_line
  • gdms_text_line
  • gdms_point
  • gdms_text_symbol
  • gdms_polygon
  • gdms_text_polygon
  • gdms_annotation
