Hi Roderick- On 11/28/12 12:10 PM, Roderick Pearson wrote:
All, I kept the files in their orginal .zip file. (only way to download them). No luck when using as a background or loading as data. As per Don's suggestion I uploaded a zip file to IDV support.
I played around with this some. I downloaded one of the zip files (El Paso something or other), I extracted the .prj file, and edited it to change "Foot_US" to "foot", and added it back to the zip file. With this, I was able to display the data, but it shows up in the wrong place. So, either there's a bug in the prj parsing code, or the state planar projection is not defined completely by all the other parameters.
Unidata can look into this for you. Don
