Hi there. First time user here so apologies if this question has been asked and answered already. I can't seem to find an answer though. I have a .dwg file that has had no set coordinate reference system and when I try to display it in QGIS it appears somewhere over the Antarctic. Is there a way to transform this file into shapefile format and assign a coordinate reference system to it so that it displays correctly? Thank you.

Hi @atrant,

You can set coordinate systems using the CoordinateSystemSetter transformer. Then if you want your end file format to be .shp, just point the output from the CSS to an Esri Shapefile writer.
