Once we run the workspace, we'll see the layers in the Adobe Illustrator Layers panel in the exact order we specified. This replaces Feature Type fanouts and has slightly new behavior at FME 2015.1. The Sort by Geometry parameter needs to be set to No and the Feature Type name should be set by the MP_LayerName attribute we created earlier.

The Sorter will be set to numeric and ascending.įinally, the MAPublisher writer is added. MAPublisher FME Auto and MAPublisher LabelPro are also available as add-ons starting at US399 per license. New commercial licenses are available from US1399.

QGIS now comes with built-in tools for downloading OpenStreetMap Data. MAPublisher 10.1 is available free of charge to all MAPublisher users with currently active maintenance subscription and as an upgrade for non-maintenance users starting at US599. For this demonstration, I have used QGIS 3.8.

Downloading QGIS Download and install QGIS, this is a free GIS application, available for Windows, Mac and Linux computers. Once this is done, all the inputs can be connected to a Sorter Transformer. This article explains the steps needed to load OpenStreetMap data into MAPublisher. The layer with an order of 1 will be on top with larger numbers descending below. MP_LayerName will define the name of the layer in MAPublisher and MP_Order will determine the order the layer is passed to MAPublisher hence the order in which it is displayed.Įach Feature Type will be connected to a copy of the AttributeCreator Transformer and the values will be populated for that layer. We will then create a template AttributeCreator Transformer to give each layer two attributes: MP_LayerName and MP_Order. The first thing we want to do is to add some input Feature Types. Using this behavior, some FME transformers and a Feature Type fanout (or new to 2015.1, specifying the Feature Type name) we can control the order of the layers in MAPublisher for optimal cartographic output. Once this has been turned off, MAPublisher will display layers in the order they are received from FME. This behavior can be changed by unchecking the FME Auto Parameter 'Sort Layers by Geometry'. In the Navigator, you can reorder Readers and Writers to control the order in which they are run, but unfortunately, you cannot do the same with the Feature Types they read and write respectively.īy default when you write layers to MAPublisher from FME using FME Auto, the layers are arranged first by geometry (text first, then Points, Lines, Polygons and lastly Images), then alphabetically by layer name. įME currently doesn't provide a way to explicitly define the output order of Feature Types in a workspace. In this article we'll look at how you can control the order of layers in MAPublisher when using FME Auto.
