<h3>Coordinate Reference System Selector</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The Coordinate Reference System Selector allows you to set the projection for
|
||
|
|
the current layer.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
You can find a coordinate system by entering its name, EPSG code or the QGIS ID
|
||
|
|
and clicking the <label>Find</label> button. The list of recently used
|
||
|
|
coordinate systems will be available on the bottom for quick access.
|
||
|

|

|
||
|
|
When operating across layers, for example, computing intersections between
|
||
|
|
two layers, it is important that both layers have the same CRS. To change the
|
||
|
|
projection of an existing layer, it is insufficient to simply change the CRS
|
||
|
|
in that layer's properties. Instead you must save the layer as a new layer,
|
||
|
|
and choose the desired CRS for the new layer.
