Re: [udig-devel] Projection WGS 84 as default
|
HIs shapefile does not have a projection file (.prj) so changing the
default map projection to -1 will not help him in this case.
Ok, that's right! :-)
I didn't understand the he had no prj file.
Usually when I do not have a prj file I create it just copying the
information of the CRS preference for my projection system in a new prj
file referred to the shape.
Maybe it will help...

Usually this happens only when the shapefile does not have a
projection file associated with it.
This is true only if you have selected the -1 value for the standard
EPSG code in the map preferences, default for uDig is the code of the
lat-long WGS84 so the all maps with or without prj file will be
reprojected in this CRS.
You should be able to view the layer's properties and change the
projection on the layer. Then it should behave correctly. Once you
have told uDig what the correct projection for the layer is you can
then change the projection for the map.
Change the map preference projection to -1 and then reimport the
shape, it will be redrawn in the correct CRS and all the others
shapes you will import will be reprojected in the CRS of the first map.
