Is there any fundamental differences between the CoordinateSystemSetter in FME and defining projection i ArcGIS Pro? 

 

I have attempted both separately in an IFC-file. ArcGIS Pro doesn’t automatically recognize the coordinate system of the file. Using the tool “Define Projection” in ArcGIS Pro manages to place the model in the correct area, while using CoordinateSystemSetter places the model approximately 30 km away. I have also tried to remove the coordinate system from the IFC-file before using CoordinateSystemSetter, but I still get the same results. 

 

Any workarounds or tips for troubleshooting? The IFC-file is in version 2x3.

It does sound like both should do the same. So I’m wondering if both use the same coordinate system library

I also believe it should do the same, but I'm quite unsure if they use the same library. The file is in a local coordinate system (NTM), but the transformer do support the CRS.

Hi ​@rmpayaby - I don’t believe they would be using the same library. The CoordinateSystemSetter in FME uses the CS-Map Coordinate System Library.

A solution to the 30km offset may be to use the ESRIReprojector transformer - this uses using the Esri reprojection engine.
