***Note from Migration:***
Original Title was: Copy boundingbox, polygon or xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax from the Data Inspector into Workspace
The Inspector is often used to narrow down a specific area to a boundingbox to be used in Readers, Clippers etc. Users often transfer these values manually by looking at the coordinates. Personally I often measure the distance and copy the result from the log-window in the Inspector to a Creator in the Workspace. Even made a custom transformer to parse this result into a boundingbox:
Measure Distance in UTM83-10: 259.3745 (METER): (485831.2113, 5460647.1841) To (486053.7504, 5460513.9494)
But wouldn't it be great if this could be done much easier? For instance there could be a "Copy Extent" to GeoJson or FME XML. Then you could just paste this into a GeometryReplacer. Could even be much fancier with a drawingtool that could copy any drawn polygon to GeoJSON in the clipboard?
