Hi, all, I'm translating a dwg file to a tab for the area of Abra, Costa Rica. I'm having problems matching up the projection information I've been given (see below) with the parameters required by the prj file.
The info I've been given is: Projection : Conic Lambert North and South Lambert North False Absisa 500.000 mts False Ordenate 271.820,522 mts 1st Paralel North 10 degree 28 minutes north latitude 1 st Meridian 84 degre 20 minutes West longitude Datum:ocotepeque I've matched (hopefully correctly!) this with: "--- North American Coordinate Systems ---" "Lambert Conformal Conic (North America)", 3, 62, 7, -96, 23, 20, 60, 0, 0 I can't seem to find a match for Ocotopeque datum for the second parameter, plus I'm not sure what to put for the 2nd parallel parameter since I seem to only have one. I assume the 'False Absisa' and False Ordenate' are false northing and easting... Any guidance would be great. Thanks in advance! Erin Rubio Spatial Insights, Inc.
