Data retrieval in FME is primarily done in the FME Data Inspector.In this tutorial, you will focus on retrieving data using the FME Data Inspector.For a more detailed tutorial on the FME Data Inspector, see theDesktop Basic Course Manual.Alternatively, if you are interested in using the FME Data Inspector for raster data, see theViewing and Inspecting Rastersarticle.
In this scenario, you will select features using the FME Data Inspector.First, you will retrieve data by selecting individual features on the screen, then you will learn how to select by querying attributes, and finally, you will learn how to select features using a search envelope.Once your data is selected, you will then export the features to a CSV file;however, you can just as easily export to another format (such as shapefile, file geodatabase, etc.).
You will also notice that the selected feature is also highlighted in the Table View.Another method for selecting features is by clicking on them in the Table View.Here you can sort the columns by ascending/descending for both alphabetical and numerical data.
This will narrow your selection down to 2 features, Downtown and West End
Another option is to use the Filter Features function to only display features that pass a test clause.
This selection method allows you to select multiple features which can be previewed using the arrows below the feature information window.
