Re: [idvusers] Using shape files with Texas state plane projection

Greetings Roderick,

Can you try putting all of the files into a .zip file and load that into the IDV?

Thanks!

Sean

All,
I am attempting to overlay some data on maps produced by our regional mapping 
authority.  When I open the files in IDV I only have a line.

How do I get IDV to recognize this file, if possible?

I have been working with the projection setting but nothing has worked.  I am 
assuming this projection is not one IDV can ingest.

The maps are shapefiles.  Here is the info from the .prj file

PROJCS["NAD_1983_StatePlane_Texas_Central_FIPS_4203_Feet",
GEOGCS["GCS_North_American_1983",
DATUM["D_North_American_1983",SPHEROID["GRS_1980",6378137.0,298.257222101]],
PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],
UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],
PROJECTION["Lambert_Conformal_Conic"],
PARAMETER["False_Easting",2296583.333333333],
PARAMETER["False_Northing",9842500.0],

Thanks
