Comment:

 > fTools doesn't use input CRS for output. Target CRS is determined by
 settings in "Settings" -> "Options" -> "CRS". By default (?) it will use
 WGS84 as target CRS and there is no such option as "input CRS".

 In actual fact, fTools does indeed use the input CRS for all outputs, so
 it is possible that the issue reported here is a more generic CRS issue.
 Perhaps QGIS is not properly recognizing the input CRS, and is therefore
 unable to output it correctly? Would it be possible to attach the problem
 shapefile to this ticket (or a more generic CRS ticket)?

 Regards,

 Carson
