[Qgis-user] Coordinates in map units are different between ArcInfo and Qgis

[Mark Seibel]

If you fire up ArcEdit what are the coordinates at some comparable location
in QGIS? (as opposed to the coordinates usage in AML)

Or if you view the A/I coverage in another software like ArcView
3.x/ArcMap, are the coordinates the same in QGIS?

Maybe try converting your coverage to a shapefile, and see if there is a
difference?

Another option is to set no coordinate system, or disable 'project on the
fly', and see what the coordinates are for the data.

Just some suggestions, I really cant explain why there difference. AFAIK,
A/I coverages shouldnt matter, but they are rather archaic.
