Update: I got the projection to fit into my FME MyCoorSysDefs.fme
file. Now I have an issue with the projection not matching the ESRI
Defintion which in turn gives me a warning that my ESRI projected data
is not in the same space as my FME projected data. Here are the two
projections as seen in ArcCatalog:
==== FME PROJECTION ====

false_northing: 0.000000

standard_parallel_2: 45.500000
latitude_of_origin: 37.500000
Linear Unit: Foot_US (0.304801)

Spheroid: Geodetic_Reference_System_of_1980
Semimajor Axis: 6378137.000000000000000000
Semiminor Axis: 6356752.314140349600000000

My guess is that since the Datum Names and Spheroid Names are not 100%
identical (the parameters and values are identical
North_American_Datum_1983 from FME and GCS_North_-American_1983 from
ESRI)that is why the space warning dialog comes up.
Both files are in the same exact same space.
Is there a way to configure the datum name to be the same as my ESRI
datum name so that the space reference dialog box does not come up in
the ESRI Tools (ArcMap)?
Or is there another way to or issue that I am overlooking?
Thanks.
