i have a similar problem. I have a shp file data set that is defined in LL84. It comes into Autocad Map fine (2019 and 2020) with the coordinate system set to UTM. But the shp file created by FME which translated the coordinates to UTM comes into Autocad Map and displays in Lat/Long, even though the defined coordinate system is UTM. I am going to get some sleep and see what I did wrong in the am.

Not sure if this helps, but it is likely more relevant than what i posted last night. (I am still a rookie at FME) The Reprojector will read the CS of the source, so you can leave it as unknown at the reader stage.

Try the Autodesk AutoCAD Map 3D Object Data reader rather than the ACAD reader. ACAD is the valnilla autocad reader which doesn't support coordinate systems.

You might have better luck with the Map 3d reader

thanks, I am using map3d OD reader. still doesn't show up.

Thanks ronmak,

I need it on the reader.

I have an od table that takes one route through my wksp that is no spatially enabled.and then i perform 3 reprojections to 3 other CS. also i don't get the option of read from feature on AttributeReprojector.

Oh, well in that case you should share the file with Safe in support. If ESRI can do it then FME should too

i have been experimenting and attached a DWG with OD that reads into FME properly without pre-defining the CS. Try this and see if it works for you.ontario.dwg
