Coordinate System Information

Esri Product Coordinate System Information

To specify the FME coordinate system, the FME AutoCAD reader can recognize a coordinate system associated with AutoCAD data by Esri products.

The AutoCAD reader will first look for the following files in the source folder:

• <filename>.prj
• esri_cad.prj

If neither of these files is present, the AutoCAD reader will try to find an ESRI_PRJ entry embedded in the drawing file.

AutoCAD Coordinate System Information (RealDWG reader only)

To specify the FME coordinate system, the FME AutoCAD reader can recognize a coordinate system associated with AutoCAD drawing files that have been created with AutoCAD applications of version 2013 or newer.

The AutoCAD reader will give precedence to an Esri product coordinate system, as an override of any native AutoCAD coordinate system in a drawing file.
