About Custom Coordinate Systems

A custom coordinate system is a Shared Resource that defines one or more coordinate systems that are not included in FME by default.

FME is used in many different countries around the world, and it is also used with a variety of custom datasets within each country. However, sometimes FME’s Coordinate System Gallery doesn't include the coordinate systems that are being used. In these cases, you will have to define the coordinate systems before FME can use them.
