[Qgis-user] QGIS project with no projection

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi, 
I haven't been fowling the thread closely but when I have something to do and don't want it necessarily georeferenced, I just use a local UTM zone in meters...

	Thanks for all the responses.
I've tried the various suggestions but can't get my tiff to import properly without specifying a projection. Even following the steps suggested in Lee Hachadoorian's post the tiff imports and appears to show the correct units in the information bar but when I measure distances using the Measure tool these are nothing like what they should be.
Incidentally a geotiff doesn't necessarily have any projection information - if you have a .tif file and an accompanying .tfw file it will merely register the image using the coordinates specified in the .tfw file with no information about what these refer to.
