Which transformer connects point features together into lines?

• A. Geocoder
• B. LineCreator
• C. ConnectTheDotter
• D. LineBuilder

Answer: (D)

LineBuilder is used to connect ordered point features into lines. It takes a set of points, uses a grouping attribute to determine which points belong to the same line, and an optional sort or sequence attribute to order those points. By joining them in that order, it outputs polylines (one line per group, or multiple lines if a break attribute changes). For example, points with the same line_id and increasing sequence form a single road line. Geocoder converts addresses to coordinates, not connect-the-dots; ConnectTheDotter isn’t a standard FME transformer; LineCreator would create lines in specific simple cases but doesn’t inherently stitch a scattered set of points into ordered lines.
