Major Components of FME Data Inspector

When FME Data Inspector opens a dataset, it looks something like this:

These components function the same as Visual Preview, with the following differences:

• There is a menu bar.

• The Graphics window is called the View window and can have multiple tabs called Views, each displaying different datasets.

• You can open data (File > Open Dataset), which opens it in a new View, or you can add data (File > Add Dataset), which adds data to the open View.

• A few additional tools are available, including Mark Location and Measure Distances.

TIP

If the data you are inspecting is spatial, it will open in the View window. If it is not, it will open in Table View.
