FME

Greater Speed, More Features, Unparalleled Productivity.

Increase your productivity using FME 2009. You’ll discover greater speed and scalability, enhanced usability, and even more capabilities that translate to faster data manipulations for you and your team.

Performance Improvements

FME has been supercharged! The new suped up FME engine improves the performance of hundreds of functions that FME carries out across all areas – raster conversion, polygon clipping, transformers, and more – by an average of 20%.

An Even Better FME Workbench Experience

A lot of work has gone into improving the FME Workbench user interface experience. Many of the settings boxes have been revamped, more features support drag-and-drop, many windows can be resized, and more – there are too many gems to mention them all!

Faster Raster Conversions

FME’s raster-based capabilities have been improved for efficiency, making many raster data conversions faster. Additionally, you can now use a Visualizer to send raster data to the Universal Viewer, saving you even more time while developing your workspace.

Source Feature Type Editing

When authoring a workspace, you can now edit the definition of a source file. This means you can create workspaces without having access to the source file, as long as you know its schema.

More Ways to Transform Your Data

FME 2009 contains a whole new deck of transformers, including the RasterExpressionEvaluator, the Decelerator, and a set specifically designed for handling XML data.

Generic Writer: Even More Flexibility

The Generic Writer has been enhanced to support changing data source schemas at runtime. This means that you can now use a single workspace to translate various files of the same format – but which have different schemas – into any of the 200+ formats that FME supports.

Support for More 3D Formats

FME 2009 expands on FME’s support for 3D data, which already includes Adobe 3D PDF, IFC, and LandXML.
