<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Do you know the EPSG code of your source shapefile?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Does it have a .prj file by the .shp .dbf and .shx files? If so, what is the content of that .prj file?</DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>Hello,<BR><BR>I'm a fairly novice GIS user trying to adapt from ArcGIS to gvSIG for<BR>financial reasons. While I seem to have managed the very basics of the<BR>software, I cannot seem to properly alter the projection of my files.<BR><BR>At present, I am working with a single .shp file, borders for the countries<BR>of the world. The default for the file is a transverse mercator. I am<BR>attempting to convert it to a Gall-Peters, Mollweide, or really any<BR>cylindrical or pseudocylindrical equal area projection for the time being.<BR>So far all of my attempts either lead to the shapefile ceasing to display,<BR>or being rotated about 15 degrees. I have tried the help files and other<BR>online documentation. It would be appreciated if someone could lay out the<BR>steps for reprojection simply.<BR><BR>Many thanks,<BR>Dan<BR><BR>--<BR>View this message in context: <A href="http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/Basic-projection-issues-tp6501680p6501680.html">http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/Basic-projection-issues-tp6501680p6501680.html</A><BR>Sent from the gvSIG users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Gvsig_internacional mailing list<BR>Gvsig_internacional@listserv.gva.es<BR><A href="http://listserv.gva.es/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gvsig_internacional">http://listserv.gva.es/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gvsig_internacional</A><BR></FONT></P></DIV></BODY></HTML>
