We have short Workspace to update attributes and geometry (polygons) and added the Dissolver transformer, but when run the polygons are not Dissolved. When run we get more tract in the output than when in. Cannot see why this is not striate forward. Thx

Are the incoming features aggregates?

You can test this with an aggregatefilter. The dissolver is set to deaggregate aggregates.

Hi @klingdom​ ,

I've had this before, if the polygons are not spatially aligned or overlapping, the dissolver will actually deaggregate them and split them into seperate polygons. Rather annoying, take a look at the aggregator transformer instead.

Thx. These are aggregates.

Many thx od10. Thx. Aggregator does seem to work. Have to run a few more test.
