DXF to KML

K
Forum|alt.badge.img

Hello,

I'm looking for some help running a DXF to KML.

I've not done this type of conversion before and wondered if there is anything else that should be added to the process?

I'm currently running it on a generating workspace and a dynamic schema to write. The DXF contains:

Point, poly, line, annotation and the coordinate system should be WGS 1984 UTM Zone 29N

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Hi @kimburrows1242, there is a template workspace on the FME Hub which works with DWG to KML this may help you out. You may need to change the reader to DXF or export the file as a DWG.
