[Qgis-user] CRS transformations

[Randal Hale]

There aren't any UTM (to my knowledge) projections in Feet. They are all 
meters. Look at EPSG:2224 or EPSG:2222 
(http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/2222/) - those seem tailored to 
Arizona (East/West NAD83) and Feet - and that should make life a lot 
better.

I had a client one time manage to change a UTM projection to feet - it 
led to a days worth of head scratching because everything was expecting 
UTM to be in meters.

Good Luck!
Randy
