Integrate Geographic Data Files (GDF) Using FME

Solve Geographic Data Files (GDF) Interoperability Problems with FME

Safe Software is taking steps to deprecate the Geographic Data Files (GDF) writer. It will be phased out in a series of stages. For new workspaces in FME 2019.0+, the Geographic Data File (GDF) writer is not available.

Convert any data into the GDF interchange format and also out of it for use however you need. FME supports Geographic Data Files in addition to over 345 other formats allowing you to move data seamlessly wherever you need it to be. Move data between GDF and:

• ArcGIS SHP
• AutoCAD DWG
• GML
• KML
• OpenStreetMap
• spatial databases like PostGIS and Geodatabase
• and many more

FME is more than a straight data translation tool. Its library of transformation tools allow you to restructure data to fit the exact model requirements of the target system for more accurate and complete migration from source to destination. Plus automated workflows that can be saved for future conversion requirements help you to work more efficiently.
