Hi All,

I am still having trouble reprojecting a file. The original projection is;

3 degree Transverse Mercator projection (3TM)
Reference Meridians of 111, 114, 117 and 120 degrees west longitude
Datum is NAD83
Location: Alberta, Canada - Red Deer to be specific

The file format is ESRI Shape, no prj file exists, just *.dbf. *.shx and
*.shp


When I load the original translation the file is in British Columbia, at the
correct Longitude but obviously the wrong latitude. No matter what I seem to
try nothing will change the position of this data set. Does anyone have any
idea on how to fix this? Are there any other projection utilities I can try?
Is there a header type file that I could open in a text editor and force the
bounds of the data to fit where I want it to? TIA.

Steve

Hi All,

I am trying to import an ESRI shape file using the Universal Translator. The
import works fine until I try and change the projection. I want a Lat/Long
NAD83 projection, if I try and change projection during import then nothing
appears in the map browser althought the translation was "Successful". If I
do a save copy as the projection changes in name only and does not repostion
the data to where it should be. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can
reproject this data? TIA.

Steve
