Writer
Table Type
By default, the writer will produce NativeX tables but you can choose to write older Native tables.
File Contents
Character Encoding
This parameter is applicable if you are working with extended (not basic ASCII) character sets. If your source data contains non-ASCII characters, using this parameter along with the encoding value ensures that the original data is preserved from the reader to the writer.
By default, the writer produces UTF-16 encoded documents. If you select any other character encoding, it will take precedence over the default.
FME supports most encodings.
Coordinate System
MapInfo Coordinate System String
The coordinate system string that should be used in the output files.
Usually, FME examines the coordinate system information present on the features written to the files, and outputs the coordinate system based on this information. However, in certain circumstances it is necessary to override this and force a particular coordinate system to be output. This is typically done to force the units of a non-Earth projection to something other than the default, which is meters.
Bounds Min X, Min Y, Max X, Max Y
Allows explicit setting of the bounds of the output features.
If the custom coordinate system string is specified and already contains bounds, those will be used. If the string is missing bounds, the specified bounds (Min X, Min Y and Max X, Max Y) will be used instead.
