Hi, yes i suspect it's true that you would need to have an FME2007 beta. You might simply be able to replace those transformers with the ones in your version - but because your version of fme will simply remove the offending transformers you wouldn't know what was in there to replace!
I can tell you what the AttributeCreators do if you would like to try and replace them in 2006GB. They are... 1) [after coordinateCounter and before attributeSetter] coordCount = 1 nextCoord = 0 2) [connects from Tester3-Failed and ExpressionEvaluator3, connects to CoordinateFetcher] coordDirCounter = 1 3) [connects from Tester6-Failed and ExpressionEvaluator5, connects to CoordinateFetcher] coordDirCounter = -1 Hope this helps - but if not you'll have to try FME2007-beta.
