Hi Michael, I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do to the WATERLINE features, or why the Orientor would be of use. Do you need to join all the lines together? If so, the LineJoiner transformer would be of use I think.
The LineJoiner has a group-by option, so you can create lines only where the ID is the same, plus a 'preserve orientation' option to allow FME to reverse lines to make longer strings. At that point you could extract the first coordinates and test it against the matching point feature: if they are different then use the Orientor to reverse the line direction. I hope this will be of some use, Regards, Mark Mark Ireland, Product Support Engineer Safe Software Inc.
