The title says all: what's the best way to send features to a WorkspaceRunner?
I tried to use a WKT but for a reason I don't get, it add some `--` in parameters and the WKT received is invalid:
Command line arguments are `C:\Program Files\FME2016\fme.exe' `./pg2dxf_reseau_eau.fmw' `--Perimeter' `POLYGON ((507248 137339' `--507484 137669' `507865 137441' `--507629 137111' `507248 137339))'
...
WARN |Invalid WKT encountered: POLYGON ((507248 137339

Hi @rbovard, in most cases, you can pass a string value containing commas to a published user parameter with Text (Multiline) type. Try changing the type of the parameter.
"Text: Creates a parameter for entering a text string. Note: Any leading or trailing white space, commas, or other common delimiters are automatically trimmed. To maintain delimiters, use Text (Multiline)." -- Creating and Modifying User Parameters, FME Workbench Help
If your WKT geometry is something like this:
POLYGON((507248 137339,507484 137669,507865 137441,507629 137111,507248 137339))
You have to replace commas by <comma> before sending it to the WorkspaceRunner as in the attached example.
POLYGON((507248 137339<comma>507484 137669<comma>507865 137441<comma>507629 137111<comma>507248 137339))
+59You could also write the data first with a FeatureWriter, then read it back in the next workspace with a FeatureReader, optionally sending the file name through the WorkspaceRunner.
It depends on how much data we're talking about. I wouldn't send more than a few coordinate pairs via a published parameter. They just aren't built to handle that kind of activity.

But in more complex cases, using a FeatureWriter is the right solution.
