But from what you describe you should resave the shapefile you’re interested in as a new shapefile. You will be able to change the CRS whilst resaving. Open the newly saved shapefile in QGIS and it will now have the CRS you chose.</div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;"><br></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;"><br></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;">MR</div> <br> <div id="bloop_sign_1422525027444705024" class="bloop_sign"></div> <br><p style="color:#000;">On 29 January 2015 at 09:36:03, Akalya Anandharaj (<a href="mailto:akalya.anandharaj@lynxanalytics.com">akalya.anandharaj@lynxanalytics.com</a>) wrote:</p> <blockquote type="cite" class="clean_bq"><span><div><div></div><div>
