Question
Symmetrical Difference
Does anyone know if their is a tramsfromer in FME like Symmetrical Difference that exists in ArcGIS. If no transformer exists is it possible to use a combination of them to acheive the same results?

Hi Vince,
I think the AreaOnAreaOverlayer transformer is close to the ArcGIS tool.

Hi
Takashi is spot on. Specifically, you want the features where "_overlaps" = 1 after the AreaOnAreaOverlayer.

Can this transformer write the source in the output?

Hi @pareshp,
It looks like the original question here was posted from quite a long time ago, for better visibility, would you be able to post a new question? You can always link this one here for extra context, and that way you should receive more answers and quicker!
To get you started though, you might need to clarify what you mean by source. If you mean to keep the original polygons going into the transformer, no, the transformer will not output them. However you can grab the features from the transformer directly before the AreaOnAreaOverlayer and connect it as a separate stream to your output format or another transformer. Here are some resources to read up on the AreaOnAreaOverlayer (documentation and an article with an example). Hope that helps a bit!
