[OSGeo Africa] Help with Shapefile alignments please

[Pieter Malan]

Good day.

 

I am new user of QGIS 2.8.

I am a AMS manager for John Deere Agents in KZN - South Africa.

 

I have an issue where I am trying to import field boundaries in a Shapefile
into John Deere desktop software called Apex, in order to put on the
displays of the John Deere machines.

 

When I open the Shape file in QGIS the properties look like this:

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------->

 

General

Storage type of this layer

ESRI Shapefile

Description of this provider

OGR data provider (compiled against GDAL/OGR library version 1.11.2, running
against GDAL/OGR library version 1.11.2) Source for this layer
C:/Users/Pieter/AMS/Apex folders/Shape files from Kas van der Merwe/bien
donne.shp Geometry type of the features in this layer Polygon The number of
features in this layer

+no_defs

Then when I open a Shapefile that is laid out correctly in Apex it looks
like this:

Can anybody help me with a procedure of how I can change the first Shapefile
to have the same extents as the second one, or change the first Shapefile to
the coordinate system or the projection of the second.

 

I have tried to select the first shapefile and "Save As" and select a
different "CRS" but it still ends up projecting wrong in JD Apex.

 

I have noticed the co-ordinates on the second shapefile is 30.xxxxx &
-29.xxxxx (or something like that) and the first one is 30xxxxxx & -29xxxxx
(No decimal marker)

 

Please assist as am about to go crazy here :-)

 

Thank you kindly.

 

Regards
