Hello,

 

This is too interesting a problem to let lie, and I believe that many

paths lead to happiness with this one.

 

But attached (and below) you'll see what I've come up with.  I set up

a workspace to create what I think the situation is, and what I'm

really hoping to show is how you can use the Counter to get you the

point numbers.

 

The trick is that you just use an FME back door (which we should

figure out how to make explicit) to get a new counter for every line

you've got.  How? By setting the name of the counter to be "the value

of" some kind of unique ID attribute that each original line would

have on it (and if they didn't have one, you can always use another

counter to make one).  And then  you use the true start number for the

points to be the starting point for that counter.

 

You make the counter go by the value-of an attribute by using the &

syntax -- so &line_id means use the value-of line_id to be the name of

the counter.

 

See below and attached.  Workspace was made with FME 2006 GB.
