Hi, I try to import a shapefile (ESRI-Shape) I got from a french colleague. The shape file comes with a .proj file but this is ignored resp. not known by QGis during import. Thus I extracted the proj4 string in GRASS GIS which is: +proj=lcc +lat_1=45.8989188889 +lat_2=47.6960144444 +lat_0=46.8 +lon_0=2.3372291667 +x_0=600000 +y_0=2200000 +no_defs +a=6378249.2 +rf=293.466021294 +towgs84=-168.000,-60.000,320.000 +to_meter=1
Consequently I tried to set the CRS in QGIS manually by: Settings -> Custom CRS and copied the string into the parameters line and clicked on save. But I couln't find this custom definition under "User defined Coordinate Systems" when I tried to set the re-set the layer CRS. I work on Ubuntu (12.04) with QGIS 1.8.0 with GDAL 1.9.1. Any suggestion why there are problems with this projection? /johannes
