There's several ways to do this. If you want to extend the format attributes coming from a *Source* feature, either add them through the properties of the source feature (Feature Type Properties window, Format Attributes tab) or through an AttributeExposer. If you want to extend the format attibutes for a *Destination* feature, you add them in a similar fashion through the properties of the destination feature and then fill them as if they were any other attribute by either dragging attribute connectors to them or by using AttributeCreators or AttributeRenamers to create those attribute somewhere within the workbench process. Hope this helps. -- Hans van der Maarel Red Geographics Zevenbergsepoort 44b www.redgeographics.com 4791 AE Klundert [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Netherlands phone: +31-168-401035 For insights into what's up at Safe Software and what's on the development horizon, visit Safe's blog at spatial-etl.blogspot.com.
