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 > Window Layout > 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. |

These parameters apply at the feature type level. The initial value for this parameter is obtained at the writer level (see the Output Dimension writer parameter), but it can also be modified for individual feature types.
Create Spatial Index
Specifies whether or not to generate spatial index files when writing shapefiles.
Yes (default) – Default value. The output file will contain an embedded spatial index of features. A larger file will be produced as a result.
No – An embedded spatial index will not be created in the output file, resulting in a smaller file. Note that reading these files back with spatial filtering will impact performance.
Output Dimension
Specifies whether features in the output file will have Z and/or M values. Measure values will be taken from the default measure.
- Dimension from First Feature – Files produced will contain geometries with dimension information obtained by the first feature observed by the writer.
- 2D – Files produced will contain two-dimensional coordinate geometry.
- 2D + Measures – Files produced will contain two-dimensional coordinate geometry and measures.
- 3D – Files produced will contain three-dimensional coordinate geometry.
- 3D + Measures – Files produced will contain three-dimensional coordinate geometry and measures.
