<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid"> For my current project, almost all data come from the Oregon GIS office<br>(now called the Geographic Enterprise Office). All the data available for<br>
download (.shp and .e00 primarily) are supposed to be in the state's own<br>coordinate system, "Oregon Conformal Conic." This is actually Lambert<br>Conformal Conic with specific bounds, parallels, etc.<br><br>
Since they're all supposed to have the same bounds and other parameters I<br>should be able to import them to the same location and map set. But I cannot<br>do this. If I tell the import wizard to use the existing coordinates it<br>
tells me that they don't match what are in the file. So I have to import<br>each theme into a different location. My first question is what might be<br>causing this to happen? I'll reproject them all to a common location/map set<br>
when I get them all in, but wonder why there's an issue.<br><br> More importantly, when I look at the location/PERMANENT/DEFAULT_WIND and<br>WIND files I find the coordinates are far off what they should be, and what<br>
I defined them to be in the GUI. For example, instead of North and South<br>bounds being 46.2N and 41.9N the files show them as 63N and 39N. Second<br>question: what might be happening here?<br><br> In the meantime, I'll create new locations for all themes then read up on<br>
how to reproject them so they're all recognized as using the same<br>coordinates and parameters and will overlay properly.<br><br> As an aside, I don't see a menu item (under File, I suppose it should be)<br>to create a new location and map set for a new import. As a result, I exit<br>
grass and restart it. That's too Microsoftish to be correct.<br><br>Rich<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>grass-user mailing list<br><a href="mailto:grass-user@lists.osgeo.org" target="_blank">grass-user@lists.osgeo.org</a><br>
