I want to identify if there is a way to identify all connected conductors of an electric device using FME. All the points (Electric Device) and lines (Electric Line) in the attached screenshot are actually all connected. This is actually connected in Smallworld and I want to establish the same connection in FME but in ESRI this is not graphical connected as depicted in the screenshot. I can trace connectivity form Electric Line to the device but not the other way around. I want to correctly merge Electric Line data with Electric Device records. More than one electric lines can be attached to one device and so far I have tried List Based Feature Merger, Feature Merger and Spatial Relator with Intersect Predicate. Buffer will also not work in this scenario as it may take into consideration some other nearby line. There are no associated or connected features in Electric Device which may link it to Electric line, hence List based feature merger is also failing.

Hey There, Yeah depending on resolution somethings can appear ‘connected’ when there slight differences. I would suggest the Snapper transformer. Hopefully that sets you on the right path!

All the Best!

There is also the anchoredsnapper. Operates exactly the same as the snapper, but gives you the option to specify a set of features as an ‘anchor’. Anchor features don’t move, other features move to them
