Installing ili2fme

Please note that Safe Software distributes the ili2fme format with FME as a convenience.

The Licensing options for this format begin with FME Desktop Professional Edition.

The methods below are only required, if you want to override the version of ili2fme that is distributed by Safe Software.

by using the MSI file

just double-click the msi file (This will install ili2fme into your current FME software folder)

by using the ZIP file

To install ili2fme, choose a directory and extract the distribution file there. Copy the files and subdirectories of “${ili2fme}/FME Suite” to your FME directory.

To use ili2fme with the FME Universal Viewer, FME requires you to set an environment variable: FME_VIEWER_THREADING=SINGLE.

You may add your commonly used private Interlis models to the directory “${FME}/plugins/interlis2/ilimodels”.

Running ili2fme

ili2fme is called by FME, if you select “Swiss INTERLIS (ili2fme)” as file format.

INTERLIS 2 is read/written if you select xtf or xml as file extension. INTERLIS 1 is read/written if you select itf as file extension (but you have to select “Swiss INTERLIS (ili2fme)” in FME). You should read .ili files (INTERLIS 1 or 2) to import feature types into the workbench.
