[GRASSLIST:9181] xy location to projected location

[RAVI KUMAR]

Hi,
  in GRASS6.1
  a vector file created in XY location cannot be RE-projected to a PROJECTED LOCATION
   
  but however
   
  1. a raster can be georeferrenced to any projected location.
   
  So, If by oversight, you  painstakingly vectorise a scanned raster in XY, and then project it to a location, you will discover the mistake, too late.. The resultant vector cannot be projected.
   
  Instead
  Project a raster image into lat long/ any other projection, and then do all the vector conversion, you are in the right track.
   
  2. If the deductions above are correct.. Will the developers look into, and create a method where XY vectors can be projected.
   
  ThanQ in anticipation
  Ravi Kumar
