I have a shapefile that contains about 10'000 points and need to merge some data from a polygon shapefile that describes administrative areas. I need to add the relevant admin area data to each point.

 

Is there a way to do this in FME?

Multiple ways to do this:

  • SpatialRelator
  • SpatialFilter
  • PointOnAreaOverlayer
  • Clipper

You need to check the Merge Attributes checkbox.
