Esri Product Coordinate System Information
To specify the FME coordinate system, the reader can recognize a coordinate system associated with AutoCAD data by Esri products.
The 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 reader will try to find an ESRI_PRJ entry embedded in the drawing file.
AutoCAD Coordinate System Information
To specify the FME coordinate system, the reader can recognize a coordinate system associated with AutoCAD drawing files that have been created with AutoCAD applications of version 2013 or newer.
The reader will give precedence to an Esri product coordinate system, as an override of any native AutoCAD coordinate system in a drawing file.
The writer will set the coordinate system of the associated AutoCAD drawing files if the Coordinate System Storage parameter is set to Internal Native:
- DWG/DXF Coordinate System Storage parameter
- RealDWG Coordinate System Storage parameter
