<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Sorry for the lengthy email.<br><br>Got a question about changing the projection for the following to WGS84:<br><br>I received shapefiles info for my neighborhood but the projection is in NAD_1983_StatePlane_Mississippi_West_FIPS_2302_Feet (NAD83 / Mississippi West (ftUS in QGIS)<br>
<br>In my project settings I have WSG84 set as the default projection as well as layer units set to Decimal Degrees.<br><br>For some reason unknown to me, it does not appear that the projection is displaying in WGS84.<br>
<br>From the Properties MetaData Tab, the following displays: <br><br><p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"><font size="2"><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">In layer spatial reference system units : xMin,yMin 2349376.08,1066253.54 : xMax,yMax 2353354.03,1070858.08</span></font></p>
