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

The problem with these files is that the UNIT of Foot_US is not being recognized. If you upload some files as Sean suggested, I'm sure someone at Unidata can look at this further.

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
