Using version 2016.1.3.2

In https://desktopmanualbasic.safe.com/DesktopBasic1Basics/1.Exercise3.html, there is some exercise showing how to inspect data from two different layers.

Layer 1: a kml file (CRS: LL84)

Layer 2: a MapInfo TAB (CRS: UTM83-10)

In the exercise, the data inspector can handle the data with different CRS (there is a print showing the two layers mashup). (the data is available here: https://www.safe.com/training/recorded/fme-desktop-2016/)

But if i try to do the same using version 2016.1.3.2, the data inspector draw the two layers but don't transform the coordinates (in the status bar is show the message "Multiple Coordinate Systems").

Is some configuration necessary for the data inspector transform coordinates? Or the data inspector can not deal with layers with different crs?

The Inspector will only reproject data to the same coordinate system when the background maps are turned on. Otherwise it will just show the data in a general space using the coordinates in the dataset, whatever coordinate system they are.

Thanks for the quick answer!
