<P><SPAN LANG="en-ca"><FONT FACE="Arial">Hi,</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-ca"><FONT FACE="Arial">I have three locations defined, one in Geographic 'projection', one UTM and the other described below. When I try to reproject data, e.g. a vector rectangle from either Geographic or UTM to the Oblique Mercator projection defined below, the rectangle isn't rotated as I expect. The origin of the projected coordinates looks to be in the correct location but there is no rotation applied (geographic north is supposed to ~45 deg from the y axis). BTW, is it even possible to display a geodetic grid for a non-rectified projection?</FONT></SPAN></P>
