Vedr: MI batch generation

Hi Erich

This is from the FME-l email group:

As you know, you can list:

<readerKeyword>_COORDINATE_SYSTEM $(SourceCoordSys)
<writerKeyword>_COORDINATE_SYSTEM $(DestCoordSys)
<
<in a mapping file. After substituting in the appropriate reader and writer
<keywords, and setting up the SourceCoordSys and DestCoordSys macros,
<then the coordinate system is changed.  For example, you might
<do this:
<
<    MACRO SourceCoordSys RT90-2.5V
<   MACRO DestCoordSys LL-RT90
<
<   SHAPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM $(SourceCoordSys)
 <  MIF_COORDINATE_SYSTEM $(DestCoordSys)


If you go to ftp://ftp.safe.com/fme/ you can download the documentation to
FME (and UT) here you can find out more about how to define coordiantsystem
etc.

Hi GIS-ers:

I'm trying to do a command-line conversion with the Universal Translator,
it
seems to work fine like this:

L:\HRAGiS\Tools\imut generate Shape MapInfo m:\streets\shape
street_convert.fme
L:\HRAGIS\Tools\imut street_convert.fme --SourceDataset m:\streets\shape
--DestDataset m:\streets\mitab

Except! How do I specify a coordinate system?? It comes in as Non-Earth and
I
need to specify Lat/Lon NAD 83...

Or, is there a better tool to do this?

Thanks a bunch in advance! I will summarize.

Eric
