<pre wrap="">My question:
If I save my vector map as shp.-file for another GIS (ARCGIS in my case)
what projection does it use? My attribute table shows gg. Coordinates as in
GRASS. So do I have to project it another time?
(I also get a spatial reference alert back from the new GIS)
Thanks,
Steffi

When you save a shapefile in ArcGIS it will not necessarily carry
projection information. The shapefile only has projection information
if it has a .prj file with it or, if you explicitly set the projection
using ArcToolbox (Data management / projections and transformations /
DEFINE projection), which creates the .prj file

In GRASS the module v.out.ogr has the '-e' option to save an
"ESRI-like" *.prj file.<br>
