All, I have a map in NAD27. When I "Save Copy As..." the map to another file, changing the projection to NAD83, all the features in the new map have the exact same lat,long values. I was under the impression that a feature's specific location in NAD27 would change a little bit in NAD83. ex:

Re: MI NAD27 to NAD83

What changes is the objects' actual positions on the earth, not their coordinates. In other words (-105, 40) in NAD 83 is about 150 feet east of (-105, 40) in NAD 27. If you create a point at this location and save it in a table with a NAD83 projection, and then save it to another table with a
