Is there any suggestion please? If you know what projection the shapefile is in, then go to spatialreference.org, and search for that projection. When you find it, there's a link to download the correct prj for that projection. Rename the downloaded file to the same name as the shapefile (except for the prj extension, of course) and that's it. If you do not know the projection of the original, then I'm afraid you are, as the _expression_ says "up a creek without a paddle" Thanks in advance and greetings -- Giulia Baldissera This mail was received via Mail-SeCure System. ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user This mail was received via Mail-SeCure System. -- Micha Silver GIS Consultant, Arava Development Co. http://www.surfaces.co.il ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
