Right, but where is org2org? I've looked in many menu items, help, etc. to no avail. Sorry to be a bit thick but how is it accessed? Also, GRASS has v.transform and v.rectify but starting a new GRASS mapset fails with no reason given. Great tools but why are they so hard to access?

ogr2ogr is a command line tool, Terminal/Shell on Mac/Linux, OSGeo4w shell on Windows. Supposedly the Vector Georef plugin wraps this functionality into QGIS. -Alex On 08/09/2015 12:08 AM, Springfield Harrison wrote: Right, but where is org2org? I've looked in many menu items, help, etc. to

Hi, There is one sure way to do this, Use your CAD Package to align the property survey to the correct CRS, using two common points. What CAD Package are you using, if you have AutoCAD, then you can use the align command to preform this, I assume that other packages have similar commands!
