You can create a custom coordinate system, see here for the steps.

Is this preventing you from actually reading the data? (I don't think it should, with the PRJ file included it should still be able to read and even transform/reproject the data)

Hi thx for quick feedback

 

Indeed I have prj I was wondering because this EPSG 6706 isn't present of FME coord sys database

Yeah, that kinda surprises me as well. I've dug a bit further: it is actually supported in the ESRIReprojector transformer, so it's not in FME's library but it is in ESRI's (which can be accessed through that transformer), which supposedly means that if you have ArcGIS installed on the same computer and swith the workspace to the ESRI reprojection engine it will be supported.

But you're right, it has an EPSG code so I would assume it to be supported in FME's own library as well. @natalieatsafe could you have somebody look into this please?

Hi @redgeographics, I've filed an issue for our development team to add this datum to our library (internal issue number: FMEENGINE-61017)

 

@checcosisani as Hans mentioned, I would recommend adding the datum definition to the MyCoordSysDefs.fme file (or another *.fme file saved in %USER%\\Documents\\FME\\CoordinateSystems )
