Hello,

I have a correct fmw (footprint-1xls.jpg) that read the 4 coordinates from a xls and generate a footprint with 4 vertex (reader, vertex creator.line builder, line closer and geometry coercer). My questions are:

- I dont know why the writer can not be a kml, it should be a shape, but also is ok for me

- I would like to make the process for many xls in the same folder, obtaining many shapes with 4 coordintes each one. I have test with workapace runner but it does not work correctly (workspRunner).

Many thanks, I appreciate your support ;-)

Hi @gossyrossa I don't know either why your writer can't be KML. Please file a case at www.safe.com/support Thanks!

Have you set the coordinate system? The KML writer needs the data to be in LL84 (or taged with which coordinate system it is and the writer will reproject it to LL84). If no coordinate system is assign then the KML writer will not accept the features and the following error message will occur in the log window: KML: Feature does not have a coordinate system specified

Try the CoordinateSystemSetter transformer.
