[Qgis-user] Maine West (ft) projection

[Jake Maier]

Nicolas, you indirectly found the problem. I have the prj file, but for whatever reason qgis could not see it. I took the group of the 6 files and copied them all to the particular gis directory and ola it worked. Thank you all for helping.

Hi,
You should look for the .prj that should be with the .shp.  If it's not there, your file was probably imported using the project CRS and that explains why it's in the wrong place...  If the .prj is there, but not recongized in QGIS, it should have been imported as a User CRS.

If you can't find it, or if it's wrong, google EPSG and proj4.  You should find what you are looking for and then you can create a user CRS in QGIS.

I received a shape file with a projection of Maine West (ft)

On the fly transformation placed the property somewhere west of Brazil in the Atlantic Ocean.

I checked all the projection and didn’t find Maine West in qgis.

How can I add it to the list of projections? What information do I need for that?

Thanks for any pointers.

Jake
