Hi,

Is there any easy way to export the fme gallery to a table - I would like to index it using elasticsearch and make a dynamic dropdown for a user to select their intended projection.

Thank you

Oliver

All coordinate system information is stored in the coordsys.db file in the FME software folder.

This is a text file with "|" separated values.

You can use FME, either with the Text or CSV reader to read the data.

Then use AttributeManager to map the data to your table attribute.

And write the data to your database.

Hope this helps.

Thank you, added it to elasticsearch using fme and works like a dream. Always nice to be able to offer clients our data in over 8000 projections!
