Question

Spatially join point and polygon attributes

I'm new to FME, and most of the time I work with ArcGIS Pro. I have a few building polygons, and a few points containing additional information. Now, in ArcGIS Pro I can spatially join these two, creating one layer with the polygon "look" but added with the point information. This then needs to be exported to a new shapefile.

How can I recreate this in FME? I now used the SpatialRelater, with a tester, but when I export 'passed', it still only contains the attributes from the input area, and the attributes from the points are not added. When I look at the passed data with the inspector, it does show an attribute table wit the combined data, but when writing this to a new file, it does not.

Can someone help me out?

You will need to add the attributes from the points to the shp file writer for them to be included. They can be added under User Attributes in the writer feature type
