Hi @fiber, the KML writer requires that input features have a coordinate system definition, and the error says that a feature doesn't have that. Try setting appropriate coordinate system to every feature. You can use the CoordinateSystemSetter transformer to do that.

Hi Fiber,

 

 

Not sure what coordinate systems you are using on the CAD file. Let's assume it is properly geo-referenced you need to convert your data to WGS84 to be able o write into KML, the coordinate system used is LL84 . This should help.
