[Appel, Tony]

1: Yes. I have written to a few different folders trying to discern if it was permission based problem or not.   2: FME 2006GB   3: Yes it is supported by esri.   4: The projection is listed in the esri database file top and bottom.   From: fme@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of mark2atsafe Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 1:23 PM To: fme@yahoogroups.com Subject: [fme] Re: Problems writing .prj file when translating dxf2shape. Couple of quick (if dumb) questions... 1) You are writing to a different output folder aren't you? I've seen some confusion over prj files when reading/writing the same folder. 2) Which version of FME are you using? If it's a beta try 2006GB. 3) Is the coordinate system you're trying to write supported by ESRI? If not (or FME just doesn't know about it) then I can imagine it not writing a prj. Check if it's listed in the <fme install>/reproject/exceptions folder Mark --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED]com, "navtechie" <tony.appel@...> wrote: > > I am currently converting multiple cad files to ESRI shapefiles. > > My first step is to translate the CAD files into WGS84LL shapefiles, > the next step is to translate another set of shapefiles into NTF- > Lambert.3. > > I am getting a consistent error during the shape--shape process. > > "An error has occurred while trying to write to the projection > (*.prj) file for the shape file 'C:\Documents and > Settings\mulliman\My Documents\My FME Workspaces\3CALVAIRE_line'. > The translation will continue without creating this projection > file." > > The shp, shx and dbf all write out fine, but the projection file > will not write.
