Sorry - forgot to add:<br>
If you don't do the re-projection, your survey diagram will sit
approx 296m N/S and 50m E/W away from your <font
color="#990000">WGS95</font> orthophoto.<br>
If it sits only some 50m or so away from where it should sit,
then it is likely that the Datum shift (between Cape &
Harte94) wasn't applied.<br>
<br>
Wow - that's the best my memory serves me - I last did this
stuff in 2003.<br>
Perhaps there is a surveyor on this list that can add to, or
correct, what I have suggested?<br>
<br>
Wesley: If you're still stuck in a day or so, contact me off
list & we can get it sorted better if I have the data set
from you.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Wesley,<br>
That survey will be on the Cape datum, and not the Harte94
datum, so you will have to use the Cape datum to throw it back
to LatLong, and then use the Harte94 Datum to push it forward
to WG19<br>
<br>
The Lo19 and WG19 coordinates are much the same in that they
both are "Metres from Longitude 19degs" and "metres from the
Equator"<br>
Note that if you use proj type definitions, they are +ve South
(ie South facing) - looking at the coords you are showing
below, yours are North facing. <br>
This 'North facing fix' was done because, especially in the
old days, CAD system could not handle South facing coords, so
that was rectified by simply multiplying each column of
numbers by "-1".<br>
<br>
I have a 'C' program somewhere that I wrote many years back,
that handles this - but maybe someone on this list has done
this with proj & QGIS.<br>
Although I haven't had to do this for many years, I'd be
interested in a QGIS solution.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A friend has asked me to produce a map
using a title deed SG document. The property in question
was surveyed in 1975 and it appears to make use of the
LO19 coordinate system. I am not that familiar with LO19
and am having some trouble with defining a proj 4
projection in QGIS. I have produced a custom CRS based on
the this post by Gavin Flemming (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://afrispatial.co.za/foss-gis/south-african-projections-in-foss-gis/">http://afrispatial.co.za/foss-gis/south-african-projections-in-foss-gis/</a>).
All seems well until I look at the location, I can find it
using ancillary data. The coordinates on the title deed
match only in the X domain (I have swopped both the X and
the Y as well as the sign) while the Y domain appears to
be “way out”. The SG title deed coordinate for one of the
Y points is -9105.30 (Constant +9 760 000,00) while the
same location in the QGIS returns a Y coordinate of around
-3 769 758. Can anyone shed light on why there is such a
large difference between the SG Diagram and the actual
location?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style=""><span style="">1.<span
style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span>I am thinking that it might be something
to do with the fact that the property was surveyed in
1975, any ideas?</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style=""><span style="">2.<span
style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span>I have used the following proj 4
definition – have I missed something?</p>
