Improve Interoperability Across DWG and SHP

Create interoperable workflows by validating your data with FME. Validating data throughout the conversion process, with the help of transformers, can make it easier to mould data into other formats while keeping the integrity of the original dataset. The LineCloser transformer can convert CAD polylines into SHP polygons, the Snapper transformer can connect disparate lines, and the GeometryValidator transformer can check for corrupt geometries and null values.
