Hi,

I am new in using FME and it seems that there are something that I am missing, I found the

"CoordinateConcatenator" transformer that I think can do what I need. I open my shape file as a reader ,I choose the CoordinateConcatenator transformer and then I choose a new shapefile file as writer (output).

It runs with no error but no new attributes containng the coordinated of the vertices in the output file.

I tried to add attribuet creator, attribute writer ,nothing works ,what am I missing?

Thanks for your help!

Is the attribute containing the coordinates listed on the shapefile writer feature type? If your user attribute definition is not set to automatic, you'll have to add it manually.
