Adding a custom coordinate system to the FME coordinates


Badge

I have created a custom coordinate system using the online FME tool. I have downloaded the files and placed them in C:\\Program Files\\FME\\Reproject per the instructions, I have defined a shared path in the Default Paths. How do I get FME to recognize the custom coordinate file?

You must restart Workbench before FME can recognize the custom coordinate system.

The custom coordinate system will appear in the columns of the Coordinate System Gallery.

Just for reference, the coordinate system definition tool that @dszarka refers too can be found at the bottom of the article Using Coordinate Systems with FME.
