Using the FME Universal Viewer

Route Output to the Viewer

Quickly route to the Viewer without changing anything in your workspace. This is useful if you want to view the output before writing to the output dataset,and you don't have to add anything to the workspace.

View an Output File

After you finish a translation, you can view the output file with the FME Universal Viewer. If the Viewer isn’t already running, start it up and open the output file.

Add Visualizers

Add  Visualizer transformers to your workspace to automatically start the Viewer. You might want to add several Visualizers at different points in your workspace, to view different types of data.

Right-click on an output port in a Transformer, and select Connect Visualizer. This connects a Visualizer directly to the output port, and names it according to the output port. Through the Properties button, you can further distinguish between Visualizers by setting unique pen and fill colors. Enable and disable individual Visualizers through the command menu.

Note: For detailed help, open the Help menu in the FME Universal Viewer application.
