Hi Bill. You can use the LabelPointReplacer to do this I think. If you add a visualiser after a LabelPointReplacer You can see an attribute called 'ParallelRotation' which is the real rotation of your point, no cartographic 180-stuff added! This is not obvious since FME does not show you any of the attributes that are actually there, I hope Safe will expose the attributes on the LabelPointReplacer in coming betas.
But, in the meantime you can do this: 1. Use the LabelPointReplacer to generate the points 2. Connect an AttributeExposer to expose ParallelRotation 3. Use an AttributeRenamer to rename ParallelRotation to fme_rotation. Now you should have the "real" rotation on your points. Good luck. /Nisse PS. Safe support: File a report to update the LabelPointReplacer: 1. Expose all attributes it adds 2. Give the user a choice whether the resulting rotations should be cartographic (upside-down) or not. DS. -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För Bill Voigt Skickat: den 20 mars 2006 04:03 Till: [email protected] Ämne: [fme] I'd like a transformer that works like the LabelpointReplacer, but does not force the labels to be 'cartographically correct'. What I mean is that the LabelpointReplacer prevents labels from being upsidedown by adding 180 degrees to the rotation angle. My target application is to apply directional arrowheads to my pipe features for display in an app that cannot display lines with arrowheads.
