Hans, thanks for the quick reply. I tried the dissolver, and it 'sort of' worked. It oonsolidated the squares into lines, but not the whole area as I was expecting. The squares that have been consolidated would have been consecutive rows in the MapInfo file. I assumed FME would have read in all the squares and then analysed each one to see if there was a neighbor with an equivalent value. Regards, Wayne Pallot GIS Administrator Country Energy, Australia.
