Hi,

I'm hoping to reproject a MapInfo Tab file from BNG to ETRS89 and also extract the lat and long the process. My starting point was the bnglatlongreprojector (thanks you Safe) but I'm getting the following error when I run it: "could not reproject the geometry of the preceeding feature: Reprojector: Could not create reprojection engine".

Any ideas anyone? I'm using FME 2017 Desktop.

Thanks in advance,

Jake

Hi Jake - that Transformer was actually written by the Environment agency and is clearly taking exception to something you're passing in to it that might not have been error trapped. Whilst it depends exactly what you're trying to achieve the attached workspace might be close to what you want to do. Effectively extract the BNG coords to attributes, reproject the features and then extract the new Long\\Lat values... Might help?

Thanks a lot for this @1spatialdave,

I'll give that a shot.
