Accessing Feature Type Parameters
|
To access feature type parameters, click the gear icon Tip To always display the editor in FME Workbench, you can select View > Windows > Parameter Editor.
General All feature types share similar General parameters, which may include Feature Type Name, Reader or Writer information, and Geometry. In most Writer Feature Type parameter dialogs, you can also control Dynamic Schema Definitions. Some database formats accept Table or Index Qualifier prefixes on the output table feature type. |
on a feature type in the Shapefile Settings
This parameter applies at the feature type level. The initial value for this parameter is obtained at the writer level (see the Output Dimension parameter in the Shapefile writer parameters dialog), but it can also be modified for individual feature types.
Output Dimension
- Dimension from First Feature: Shapefiles produced will contain geometries with dimension information obtained by the first feature observed by the writer.
- 2D: Shapefiles produced will contain two-dimensional coordinate geometry.
- 2D + Measures: Shapefiles produced will contain two-dimensional coordinate geometry and measures.
- 3D + Measures: Shapefiles produced will contain three-dimensional coordinate geometry and measures.
