Hello everyone,

I’m having trouble reprojecting a shapefile. The file is currently in SIRGAS 2000, and I need to convert it to WGS84. However, when I run the reprojection, an error occurs (see attached image).

Additionally, I need to extract the current coordinate system of the shapefile. In the table, the field shows up as _FME_0, but it should display SIRGAS 2000.

Does anyone know how to fix these two issues?

Have you tried setting the Source Coordinate System in the Reprojector to SIGRAS 2000?

It seems the FeatureReader isn’t correctly reading the coordinate system

I need the shape writer to be dynamic, as I need to read shapefiles in different projections.

Instead of EsriReprojector, how about using another reprojector transformer - e.g. Reprojetor or CsmapReprojector?

Hi Takashi! In the example I sent as an attachment, I'm already using Reprojector. Do you recommend using ESRI Reprojector? Is that what you meant?

Oh, I got it wrong.

Try changing the Reprojection Engine parameter of the workspace from Esri to FME and resetting the Destination Coordinate System parameter in the Reprojector to "LL-WGS84" or "EPSG:4326".
