4. Would it be possible to add an option that allows a shapefile layer
to have it datum/projection changed permanently to match another
shapefile's settings? For example, let's say i normally use NAD 83
UTM 12N. I then receive a shapefile that is in WGS84, and would like
it to conform with my existing shapefile library. If in uDig, after
viewing the shapefile, and determining i wish to keep/use it, merely
being able to convert/change it to match the others.
You can export the shapefile out in the NAD 83 UTM 12N, and then just
work with it from there on out.
But I should ask ... why? uDig is supposed to be good at displaying all
your data on the same screen together; visually it should not make a
difference mixing and matching shapefiles of different projections.
I have written up some instructions here:
