Hi, I have a custom coordinate system that I was confused how to translate it to the MyCoordSysDefs.fme for use in Safe Desktop. Here's how it is represented in the prj file. 

 

 

PROJCS["Lumos_Projection_Foot",

 

GEOGCS["GCS_North_American_1983",

 

DATUM["D_North_American_1983",

 

SPHEROID["Geodetic_Reference_System_of_1980",6378137,298.2572221008916]],

 

PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],

 

UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]],

 

PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],

 

PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",0],

 

PARAMETER["central_meridian",-80],

 

PARAMETER["scale_factor",0.9996],

 

PARAMETER["false_easting",4921259.843],

 

PARAMETER["false_northing",0],

 

UNIT["Foot_US",0.30480060960121924]]

 

 

I read over the help for FME DEsktop, but the I did not know how to translate it because it had two units and so many Parameters.

 

I appricate any help. Thanks
Hi,

 

 

did you read this page (http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Workbench/Default.htm#adding_a_custom_coordinate_system.htm)?

Hi,

 

 

additionally, I would recommend you to have a look at properties of some similar coordinate systems.

 

Open Coordinate System Gallery (Menu: Tools > Browse Coordinate Systems), select a coordinate system (e.g. NY83-EF), and click Properties button to show Coordinate System Properties. You can see how "OGC WKT Description" should be mapped into "Coordinate System Properties" for FME.

Hi,

 

 

maybe a bit outside what you were asking, but there are a lot of interesting resources and coordinate system template to look at here (http://spatialreference.org/).
