I'm using build 4114 here so your experience might be different. When using the points as the Base, and the lines as the Candidate, all of the first matched Candidate attributes are automatically exposed as attributes of the Matched output. So, you shouldn't have to expose anything. Just pipe the Matched points (which will now have the Line unique identifier tagged to them) into the Supplier port of a FeatureMerger that has the lines coming into the Requestor port, and set it up to match on the unique line identifier.
I've attached an example, but it's saved from build 4114 so you might not be able to open it.

Not sure how to expose the first close candidate list member.

The choice is yours on how to implement this. You could either directly use the NeighbourFinder directly on the lines as Base specifying the points as Candidates, or you could do it the other way around and use a FeatureMerger to join the points' attributes back onto the lines after exposing the first close candidate list member. I haven't tested, but the latter is potentially more efficient. > > Jason > > ________________________________ > > From: [email protected] on behalf of Brian > Sent: Mon 2006-08-07 1:39 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [fme] Merge Point Attributes with Line > > > > I need to merge the attributes of a point to the line that the point > lies on. > > I have used the PointOnLineOverlay but it breaks the lines where the > point was located which I can not have. > > Is there another function to use that gives similar results as the > PointOnLineOverlay WITHOUT breaking the line at the point? > > Thanks. > Brian > > > > > > > > > Join us at the FME Worldwide User Conference Sept. 21-22, 2006 Vancouver BC Canada.
