[Qgis-user] Non-Earth Coordinates

[Michael Treglia]

Hi Grant - good question. Looks like a similar question came up on Stack
Exchange last spring. Does it sound like this answer works for you?
http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/187699/how-to-create-a-qgis-map-of-unprojected-data


(Ultimately the suggestion is to assign it to a UTM or foot based
coordinate system, as that should work fine for display and such - if you
find out there is a real Geographic coordinate system later, you can just
assign as appropriate).

If not, curious to hear more about the specific case you're dealing with.
