Subject: epsg 26591

I am still having that problem with epsg 26591.

 

The shp files I am using from the Lombardia website have this things written in their prj:

 

PROJCS["Monte Mario (Rome) / Italy zone 1",'

GEOGCS["unnamed",

DATUM["D_unnamed",SPHEROID["International_1924",6378388,297.0000000000601]],

PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],

UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]],

PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],

PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",0],

PARAMETER["central_meridian",8.999999999999998],

PARAMETER["scale_factor",0.9996],

PARAMETER["false_easting",1500000],

PARAMETER["false_northing",0],

UNIT["Meter",1]]

 

If I load these files they have their epsg 26591 recognized by udig correctly.

If the epsg of the project is 26591 something wrong happens: the map, wich has a rectangular shape is rotated, about 30 degrees west, I mean, it is a rectangle but the north of the map heads north-west...

If I set an epsg code 23032 for the project North heads north, which is ok.

 

Can someone help me?

Thanks a lot!
