Hi All,

 

I’ve tried to add in a custom coordinate system and it just doesn’t work. I’ve restarted my computer twice and the co ordinate system won’t come up in the csmap reprojector. 

I would love to use the online webform that has been created, but I am unsure at which username and password is required to log-in. My usual FME doesn’t work. 

I’ve created a file in the FME folder in documents and edited both coordinate files in the reprojector folder. This is what I have written below:


# COORDINATE_SYSTEM_DEF PerthCoastalGrid1994     \\
#      PROJ TM                                  \\ 
#      UNIT METER                               \\
#      SOURCE "spatialreference.org"            \\ 
#      DT_NAME GDA94                            \\
#      EL_NAME GRS1980                           \\ 
#      DESC_NM "Perth Coastal Grid 1994"        \\ 
#      GROUP AUSNZ                              \\ 
#      PARM1 115.8166666666667                  \\     
#      ORG_LAT 0                                \\       
#      X_OFF 500000                            \\       
#      Y_OFF 3800000                           \\

Are you sure the lines should start with: # ?

Looks to me like it's commented out as an example. Could you try removing them?

Thanks for replying. Tried that and it didn’t work.
