Hi, newish user here trying to figure out dwg to shp conversions.

I've got the attached DWG file that has 31 feature types that I need to convert to SHP. But when I run the attached workbench it's projected to 0,0 what am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks

You have set the reader coordinate system as EPSG4326, there should be a colon in there: EPSG:4326

 

However... I suspect the CAD file is in an artbitrary local coordinate system, so not georeferenced at all, in which case it would be quite difficult to fix in FME.
