Esri ArcGIS Map Document Feature Representation

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

The ArcGISMap modules make use of the following special attribute names.

Attribute Name

Contents

geodb_type

The type of geometric entity stored within the feature. The valid values are listed below:

geodb_table

geodb_point

geodb_multipoint

geodb_polyline

geodb_arc

geodb_ellipse

geodb_polygon

geodb_annotation

geodb_dimension

geodb_simple_junction

geodb_simple_edge

geodb_complex_junction

geodb_complex_edge

For a description of the attributes belonging to each of the different geodb_type’s, please see the chapter Esri Geodatabase Reader/Writer .

<attribute-name>_resolved

When reading, if RESOLVE_DOMAINS is set to YES, then the description corresponding to the domain code is stored in this attribute.

fme_color

A normalized RGB triplet representing the fill color of the feature, with the format r,g,b. Currently, both ‘unique value’ and ‘color ramped’ symbologies are supported for determining the fill color.

Range: 0,0,0 to 1,1,1

Default: No default

geodb_feature_is_simple

Indicates whether or not the geometry is simple.

Features read from a map document also have an attribute for each attribute in a layer.
