GTViewer Reader/Writer Plugins are now available for FME 2025.2.
This is a significant upgrade and has split the reader and writer into two separate plugins to get around some FME limitations.
The new GTViewer Reader still supports GTG files and session graphics in GTX files. It does a much better job of using embedded Coordinate Factors and can use the parameters to override those values.
The new GTViewer Writer now supports both POINT text and Text geometries (Labeler/TextStore). Support for FME's UTF-8 only text has also been supported (but it does downgrade to LATIN1 for GTViewer).

- NEW - #8869 - Updated for FME 2025.2.
CHG - #8870 - The FME Plugin has been split into a separate reader and writer. The Writer will still be GTI_GTVIEWER, but the reader is now GTI_GTVIEWER_READER. You will probably need to replace your existing GTViewer Readers in your workbenches with the new one, but the existing GTViewer Writers should still work. This change is to overcome a problem with FME where it can't have different reader and writer file types in a single plugin.
- NEW - #8871 - The default Coordinate Factors for the Reader are no longer required and will use the embedded coordinate factors in a GTG or GTX file if they are available. The logging will now show the Reader Coordinate Factors and their origin (read from file, overridden with parameters, or default).
- NEW - #8872 - Additional Logging has been added to both the Reader and Writer.
- NEW - #8873 - Text Element support for both Point (legacy) and Text (Labeler/TextStore) geometries.
- NEW - #8874 - Support for FME's UTF-8 text, but it is converted down to Latin1 for GTViewer.
