Not quite sure how to describe this or how to look it up.

 

 

I've got points coming into a point on area overlayer, two different schemas gathering similar attributes.  I'd like to merge them into one csv file by directing the differently name attributes to a common one.  I attempted to write the features to a NULL feature, but then I couldn't figure out how to reuse them in the same workbench file to pass them along to the final output csv file.  I thought that I had seen where you could do this, but don't remember the way of accomplishing it if possible.  Using 2014 on Win 7.

 

 

Can this be done in the same workbench file or do I need to create two files?

 

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

 

not sure I understand, but can't you just simply rename the attributes (AttributeRenamer transformer) to a common schema before you route them to the CSV writer?
