Question

DWG projection - How to ignore off set and or rotation

G

Hi everyone. Hopefully there is a solution to this. I have some DWG files that have a custom projection. However they are not projecting in the correct position by a long way. I believe there is some kind of off set and or rotation applied to the model, that I can not seem to get FME to ignore.

If I take the same dwg and put it in ARC Map and define to the projection, it sits fine. So appears ARC Map is ignoring what ever FME is not. Any help greatly appreciated.

FME inspector (you can see its rotated to be straight)

FME inspector (data in the green, in the ocean)

Arc Map same data in same projection

In FME Data Inspector when you click a feature - what does it say under Coordinate system?

Try to add a CoordinateSystemSetter with the correct coordinate system and then redirect this to the Inspector.

Offset and rotation in coordinates might also be from (DWG) User Coordinate System definition? Might be You should try on/off for the "Ignore User Coordinate System (UCS)"
