The ESRI Shapefile (known here as the ESRI Shapefile format), stores nontopological geometry and attribute information for the spatial features in a data set. A shapefile consists minimally of a main file, an index file, and a dBASE table.

Aug 11, 2014  Eventually Synalyze It! Was released now also in the Mac App Store. Unfortunately the versions you find in the MAS and here on this site are not the same. First, I had to remove some features due to MAS rules (synalyze shell tool and automatic online update as well as the automatic suggestion of grammars available on this site). Additionally in.

In the main file, the geometry for a feature is stored as a shape comprising a set of vector coordinates. This main file is a direct access, variable-record-length file in which each record describes a shape with a list of its vertices. In the index file, each record contains the offset of the corresponding main file record from the beginning of the main file. Attributes are held in a dBASE format file. The dBASE table contains feature attributes with one record per feature. Attribute records in the dBASE file must be in the same order as records in the main file. Each attribute record has a one-to-one relationship with the associated shape record.

The shapefile format can support point, line, and area features. Area features are represented as closed loop, double-digitized polygons.

Instances of the Shapefile format have often been used as a data exchange format from ESRI formats to non-ESRI applications. The format is most useful for writing simple features and attributes quickly as there are limitations inherent in the Shapefile format related to both geometry and attributes. As outlined elsewhere in this description, these limitations may cause loss of data when using shapefiles to contain or exchange complex geometry or attributes. The Shapefile format may be used as an intermediary between data creation applications and more functionally capable GIS formats and applications, albeit with the limitations noted in the Dataset/Normal Dataset section.

The cluster of files is typically stored in the same file directory or project workspace, with all component files having the same filename (prefix) and identified by individual file extension (suffixes). Three components are mandatory: a main file that contains the feature geometry (.shp), an index file that stores the index of the feature geometry (.shx), and a dBASE table (.dbf) that stores the attribute information of features. A comprehensive list of component files follows:

• shp -- Main file (mandatory); a direct access, variable-record-length file in which each record describes a shape with a list of its vertices.
• shx -- Index file (mandatory). In the index file, each record contains the offset of the corresponding main file record from the beginning of the main file. The index file (.shx) contains a 100-byte header followed by 8-byte, fixed-length records.
• dbf -- dBASE Table file (mandatory); a constrained form of DBF that contains feature attributes with one record per feature. The one-to-one relationship between geometry and attributes is based on record number. Attribute records in the dBASE file must be in the same order as records in the main file.
• sbn -- Part 1 of spatial index for read-write instances of the Shapefile format. If present, essential for correct processing.
• sbx -- Part 2 of spatial index for read-write instances of the Shapefile format. If present, essential for correct processing.
• atx -- Created by ArcView 3.x for each instance of the Shapefile format or dBASE attribute index created in ArcCatalog. ArcView GIS 3.x attribute indexes for shapefiles and dBASE files are not used by later versions of ArcGIS as a new attribute indexing model has been developed for shapefiles and dBASE files.
• fbn -- One of the files that store the spatial index of the features for instances of the Shapefile format that are read-only.
• fbx -- The other file (besides .fbn) that stores the spatial index of the features for instances of the Shapefile format that are read-only.
• ain -- One of the files that stores the attribute index of the active fields in a table or a theme's attribute table.
• aih -- The other file (besides .ain) that stores the attribute index of the active fields in a table or a theme's attribute table
• ixs -- Geocoding index for read/write shapefiles. If present, essential for correct processing.
• mxs --Geocoding index for read-write shapefiles (ODB format).
• prj -- Projections Definition file; stores coordinate system information.
• xml -- contains metadata, as used by ArcGIS.
• cpg -- An optional file that can be used to specify the codepage for identifying the character set to be used.

I've got an FME Workbench (version 2015.0) which searches for shapefiles in a folder tree. The shapefiles are contours which are split into tiles for a particular area. The workbench is fairly simple, it filters based on certain attributes then combines the output into a merged shapefile containing all the contours.However, the workbench fails because the resulting shapefile is too big. I get the following error:Error - Cannot write out a file larger than 4.295GB. Split your datainto two or more shape filesOf course, I didn't necessarily know beforehand that my output would be so large.

Is there any way for FME to detect that the file will be too big and somehow automatically write the output to two or more shapefiles? Perhaps with the suffix ' 1.shp', ' 2.shp'? No, there's no functionality that detects this and splits the file up for you. It's already registered as an enhancement request with our developers, and the reference number is PR#34128.

Purchase office 2016 mac. I added a note linked to this question.NB: Technically I believe the limit specified by the format is 2.14gb, so even 4.29 is stretching the format more than it should really be.Of course, the question is whether a Shape dataset of that size is a good idea in the first place! Maybe you could use a different format?If you are stuck on Shape, then I'd do as others have suggested.

The ModuloCounter transformer is a good way to divide data (on a non-geographic basis) or you could split the data with either the Tiler transformer or the Clipper. A good guide on how to approximate when you are reaching a ShapeFile limit is mentioned in this documentation by Esri'There is a 2 GB size limit for any shapefile component file, which translates to a maximum of roughly 70 million point features. The actual number of line or polygon features you can store in a shapefile depends on the number of vertices in each line or polygon (a vertex is equivalent to a point).' Now in FME you could count the vertices but that would really slow down your process, and is not advisable.Preferred way would be fanout by some attribute, or limit to a number of features per shapefile.
