I try to read a dgn file using FME and have some special results. The data is in epsg:28992 (Netherlands RD new) which is in meters. But it reads lines with the following coordinates:

189492.31655848716, 348069.1188694655, 28.224907750701906 1.7976931348623158e+304, 1.7976931348623158e+304, 1.7976931348623158e+304 189492.31740355192, 348069.1195426307, 28.22490763540268 189492.31655848716, 348069.1188694655, 28.22490775070190

The second coordinate seems to be very far off and not correct. I am able to delete the points from the lines which are that far off, but I wonder if anyone knows this as a bug, a feature or a setting?

Thanks for looking,

Niels

No clue, but given that a light year is about 9.4e+15 meters and the observable universe is around 8.8e+26 in diameter these coordinates are indeed far off…

(I’ll stop being a nerd now)

The value of 1.7976931348623158e+304 is awfully similar to the top of the 64bit float range  (1.7976931348623158e+308). Off by what looks like a factor of 10,000?

Something is going wrong somewhere. Would be interesting to compare to another application 

 

Special results indeed😉

I'm wondering whether those strange coordinates have something to do with cells?
