FME can read spatial data from SXF files. These files consist of SXF object data that may contain multiple layers.
The reader can only process a single file at a time.

Reader Overview
SXF files are often associated with an .rsc file, which defines naming and formatting information for layers, object classes, and semantic classes. An associated .rsc file should have the same name as the .sxf file, and should be in the same folder.
A reader dataset is the SXF file name. If an .rsc file with the same name is present in the same folder, it will be used to determine feature type names, the sxf_object_class_name format attribute, and attribute names. If the folder containing the .sxf file also contains an .rsc file with the same name, then that .rsc will be used. Otherwise, a default .rsc file will be used.
SXF features can represent geometries consisting of points, lines, polygons, and multiples thereof. Smooth geometry features such as ellipses or arcs are not supported.
SXF geometries are coordinate-system-aware. The coordinate system of the feature types defines how to interpret the coordinates of all features under the feature type.
Usage Notes
The SXF reader will read layer and attribute names from an .rsc file that can be selected when the reader is created.
Graphic formatting from an .rsc file (font, background colors, etc.) will not be preserved.
