[Qgis-user] Projections Not Recognized

[Clifford Snow]

Local governmental agencies in Washington State use the projection,
Washington State Plane North and State Plane South. I believe they are
ESRI: 102748 and 107349. When opened in QGIS they appear as USER:100001.
These reference systems are included in the list (srs.db). I'm wondering
why QGIS doesn't match.

According to Spatial Reference the .prj is:

PROJCS["NAD_1983_StatePlane_Washington_South_FIPS_4602_Feet",GEOGCS["GCS_North_American_1983",DATUM["D_North_American_1983",SPHEROID["GRS_1980",6378137,298.257222101]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]],PROJECTION["Lambert_Conformal_Conic"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",1640416.666666667],PARAMETER["False_Northing",0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",-120.5],PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_1",45.83333333333334],PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_2",47.33333333333334],PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",45.33333333333334],UNIT["Foot_US",0.30480060960121924]]

A typical shapefile .prj file shows:

PROJCS["NAD83_HARN_Washington_South_ftUS",GEOGCS["GCS_NAD83(HARN)",DATUM["D_North_American_1983_HARN",SPHEROID["GRS_1980",6378137,298.257222101]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]],PROJECTION["Lambert_Conformal_Conic"],PARAMETER["standard_parallel_1",47.33333333333334],PARAMETER["standard_parallel_2",45.83333333333334],PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",45.33333333333334],PARAMETER["central_meridian",-120.5],PARAMETER["false_easting",1640416.667],PARAMETER["false_northing",0],UNIT["Foot_US",0.30480060960121924]]

Any suggestions on how to fix so QGIS recognizes these shapefiles
would be appreciated.


Thanks,

Clifford
