[Qgis-user] manipulating shapefiles

[sunny74]

Hi Carson,

There is no define projection tool in the tools menu.
Which version of QGIS r u using? I am using MIMAS ver 1.3.0

Regarding the second method if I right click and click "save as shapefile"
it only asks the place to save 
and not CRS.
Pls let me know if u have a solution to this.
Thanks for your reply.

sunny.
