Custom coordinate system: no elipsoide recognized.

Hi,

I have used the online tool to create a custom coordinate system. I use the WKT, where among other parameters, the ellipsoid is defined:

........

SPHEROID["GRS 1980",6378137,298.257222101,

........

 

I also select GRS80 as elipsoid in here :

online tool 

I unzip the generated files at the "FME" folder inside the "Documents" folder, as stated:

 

documentts 

But when I go to the "Reprojector" transformer and search for my new custom coordinate system, I see that there is no defined ellipsoid:

 

fme_regcan 

 

So, when I run the process, there is an error:

 

error fme 

 

What is going on?

Thanks!

Hi @jack_sk​ creating a custom Ellipsoid might be the solution here. https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Workbench/CoordSys/Defining_New_Ellipsoids.htm

Let me know if this helps!

Ho Jenna, thanks for the suggestion. The fact is that I can't even edit the files listed (LocalCoordSysDefs.fme or MyCoordSysDefs.fme). FME doesn't open .fme extension files. Anyway, GRS 1980 is already defined as you can see in the coordinate system's gallery from my FME:
