I have a shape file with points and I would like to get the points which are inside an Autocad-boundary. I tried it with Pointonareaoverlayer and spatial filter, but every point goes to the 'failed'output :-S....It isn't rocketscience, but I can't fix it.
Who could get a look at my workbench and fix it? It would be great! :-D
This is the input:

Hi @sprongandre,
It looks like the datsets you are working with use different coordinate systems as indicated by this warning in the log:
WARN |AutoCAD Reader: Found a coordinate system named `Netherlands-RD' in file `C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\wb_template_1591200116649_86348\38207-boundary.dwg', which is deprecated in FME. Skipping setting of this coordinate systemYou'll need to use a Reprojector to ensure the datasets are using the same coordinate system before the PointOnAreaOverlayer or SpatialFilter.
One way to check for this is by inspecting the dataset(s) and clicking on a feature to view Coordinate System property in the feature information: https://www.screencast.com/t/GTbR2GRk6qJ
Alternatively if you want to check visually, you can inspect both datasets in the graphics view, right click on the map and click view extents: https://www.screencast.com/t/qbFxegsLjfvN
Try this Reproject_Example.fmwt
If you know what coordinate system the dwg was drawn in, be sure to set it in the Reprojector.

Hi @chrisatsafe, thanks for your fast answer! I thought the coordinate systems were the same because when I load them in C3D they match...but not...thanks for the explanation how to check the coordinate systems!
Only 1 question; In the reprojectorsettings> when I use 'read from feature' as source coordinate system, it doesn't work (why?). I saw you used the (right) Netherlands-RDNew-2008 system, where do you get this from? Because the file coordinate system says 'unknown'?
Thanks!
