Custom projection


Forum|alt.badge.img

Hi All,

Im stuggling with this. I have a custom project that starts at the bottom left at 0,0 and ends at 10900 10500

I know the locations x/y in the known projection system of this point. The custom projection works up in 100m x 100m grids.

Is there a simple way to convert features from the known coordinates to this new custom grid?

Thanks

If it's just a simple shift that's needed, you can use the Offsetter transformer.

Custom projections can be added to FME.

This article could be a good place to start:

Agree with @david_r: for a shift you can use the Offsetter,

If scaling is involved you might also need the Scaler transformer.

If re-projecting is involved you might need the Reprojector and possibly a custom coordinate system as mentioned before. Not sure if that is the case.

Hi

Thanks for the replies.

To confirm, its just the coordinates change to the local grid projection based on a grid starting at the bottom left of an area of interest.

Is there a simple transformer that can switch to this new local grid?

eg if i know the point is 567644, 567875 on a projected system, it needs to relate to the same point on the local grid but the coordinates are in this new local grid system. No scaling needs to happen and they are both based in metres.

Sounds like the Offsetter should work.
