I have a workbench that is chocked full of transformers trying to fix, set, extract, validate and write the coordinate system. I can see the CS in the feature details and have a tester to get from an attribute that has just been updated with the CS. however trying to route any features to a sampler and then an xlsx list always ends up empty. however when i get the output and go to look at the cs output in the _coordsys there are features that are empty or contain spaces. even on a support call with safe they could not see any problem with the method i am using to get this. yet still the data is empty.

reading from dwg files and using the realdwg reader. I have the custom Fix_Coord_System transformer built by Safe.coordsysfix

I then proceed to set the coordinate system, extract it back out to an attribute, and test that attribute (BTW I have also tried to test the system @coordsys value to no avail) .SetGameMatchtestcoordsyssince i am just testing an attribute i am trying to test for at least 1 erroneous value "FME" and "NULL" values, with all unfiltered values going to Has CS port. this produces no results when the workbench is run but as stated i can go to the output and sort on the CS attribute i have created and there are features with no CS.

You should also test for Empty Sting and Attribute is Missing. I don't think the coordsys extracted will be 'null' if a feature if missing the coordsys.

Also keep in mind that sometimes FME will use an XY-(some measurement unit)
