Is there a way in FME to run a workflow similar to esri Intersect tool where a 1 line feature (1 route) could intersect a second line feature (roads) with multiple lines and get a point feature for each crossing point with the distance along the first line feature. Basically crossing point and stationing along a line?

Hi
Yes, you can use the transformer Intersector.
I am using the Intersector transformer and I added the 1 route and a GDB feature of 400 powerlines, In order to only output the crossing nodes that represent the point where the route crosses a powerline i had to use an attribute filter to filter only nodes with RtName = Rt1. Is there a simpler way to do this where the intersector doesn’t have to create all 1033 crossings to find the 44 i’m after? the rest of these would be where the powerlines cross eachother which i do not want. And how do I determine how long along the route the crossing is (route stationing along line)? i didn’t see that variable in the intersector. Thanks.
