FME Workbench Canvas

The main FME Workbench canvas displays the connections between the readers (source data), transformers, and writers (destination data). By default, it is the largest area of the workspace.

Selecting Objects on the Canvas

You can select one or more objects on the canvas in the following ways:

• Mouse click and keyboard stroke combinations native to your operating system.

• With the mouse, click and drag a box that completely surrounds the objects you want to select.
