Hi Marco, Thanks - now that I know that I need to enter the SRID with the "EPSG:" prefix, and that I need to use -1 in the Source Datum transformation I can confirm that it works.
It would be great, if somewhere in the metadata it would be visible that this file is now displayed using the nadgrids/GSB file. Otherwise, I have just to blindly trust, that QGIS does the right thing - which is a bit scary. Do you think it would be possible to add a note in the metadata or general section of the layer properties confirming that QGIS is using a datum transformation to display this file? I will make sure that the documentation will be improved regarding the global settings of the datum transformations. Thanks, Andreas On 2016-10-04 13:17, Marco Hugentobler wrote: > Hi Andi > >> 1.
