Can somebody explain the process of how to add a Coordiante system to the FME Coordinate System Gallery. I have the .prj of the new one I would like to add, I do not know how to edit the "MyCoordSysDefs.fme" file in order to implement this.

Adding Custom Coordinate System
Best answer by daveatsafe
We now have an interactive web site that lets you define custom coordinate systems using a convenient web form, available here. It lets you start from an existing FME coordinate system or the WKT from an Esri coordinate system, and will download the coordinate system to your computer.

Hi, can you tell me informations for exemple, to add EPSG:32632 in "MyCoordSysDefs.fme" file ,
I have added :
XFORM_DEF UTM84-32N
DESC_NM "UTM-WGS 1984 datum, Zone 32 North, Meter; Cent. Meridian 9d E"
SOURCE "Snyder, J.P, 1987, Map Projections - A Working Manual"
DT_NAME WGS84
EPSG 32632
EPSG_QD 1
GROUP UTMN
MAP_SCL 1
MAX_LAT 90
MAX_LNG 12.75
MIN_LAT -8.4
MIN_LNG 5.25
PARM1 9
PROJ TM
QUAD 1
SCL_RED 0.9996
UNIT METER
X_OFF 500000.0
Y_OFF 0.0
ELLIPSOID WGS84
but FME blocked , it asks for a METHOD missing parameter ...
regards

Hi @pascalmortz ,
To create that coordinate system, you would use the following definition:
COORDINATE_SYSTEM_DEF UTM84-32N_test \\
DESC_NM "UTM-WGS 1984 datum, Zone 32 North, Meter; Cent. Meridian 9d E" \\
SOURCE "Snyder, J.P, 1987, Map Projections - A Working Manual" \\
DT_NAME WGS84 \\
EPSG 32632 \\
EPSG_QD 1 \\
GROUP UTMN \\
MAP_SCL 1 \\
MAX_LAT 90 \\
MAX_LNG 12.75 \\
MIN_LAT -8.4 \\
MIN_LNG 5.25 \\
PARM1 9 \\
PROJ TM\\
QUAD 1\\
SCL_RED 0.9996 \\
UNIT METER \\
X_OFF 500000.0 \\
Y_OFF 0.0
However, the easiest way to define a custom coordinate system is to use our interactive web service.
