Re: [Qgis-user] Error by changing the CRS

Hello Harrissou,

 

thank you. Save my vector layer (based on the original shapefile in WGS84 format) as a new shapefile 

in UTM CRS has worked and pretty easily.

 

Many thanks

Pat

Hi Pat

Hello,

 

i have an issue under 2.18.13 which i havent had under 2.18.4

 

I have a shapefiel with the CRS in WGS 84 which i would like to 

change to UTM 32N by projection.

 

I set the project CRS to EPSG:25832, i set the CRS in the imported layer to the same

but still i have the coordinates in WGS84. 

I have done the same under 2.18.4 some months ago w/o any problems.

 

I'm afraid you did it wrong now and the previous time.

If you just want to display your map in UTM 32N then changing the project CRS and activating the On the Fly reprojection might do the trick; no need to change layer projection.

 

But if you wanted to have your layer in UTM 32N, note that changing the CRS value in the layer properties doesn't mean that features will be in that CRS. The CRS option in layer properties is meant to set the projection of a layer: a projection that you know is the good one but which QGIS couldn't find either because there's no prj file with your shapefile or it's a custom projection.

In your case, your data are already in their good CRS, so to put them in another CRS, you need to do a reprojection, using some of the Processing tools

See http://docs.qgis.org/2.18/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_vector/vector_properties.html#coordinate-reference-system and also http://docs.qgis.org/2.18/en/docs/training_manual/vector_analysis/reproject_transform.html

 

Regards,

Harrissou

 

I have attached some screens.

 

thx
