Question

Coordinate system extractor


Forum|alt.badge.img+2

I have a shapefile with a coordinate system defined which I'm using to test my workspace. I'm using the coordinate system extractor to check if there is a coordinate system. The _coordsys attribute comes up empty. But the shapefile does have a coordinate system. Why might this be happening?

Hi @chris28​ ,

you can also try it with the @CoordSys() Attribute Value at the AttributeCreator, but you will probably get the same result. In that case the coordinate system is not present in the FME coordinate systems file. You get more information here: About Custom Coordinate Systems (safe.com)

I got it working by changing the parameters. Just not completely sure which one of the parameter changes was the one that worked!

Hi, Got similar but for DGN. Using FME 2022.2.0.0. cannot simply extract from this DGN-file.
