On The Fly Projection

AccuGlobe supports transforming map layers from one coordinate system to another prior to drawing the features to the map. This is useful when you have data in more than one coordiante reference system but want to display them together. Currently, this feature only works for shapefile layers.

  1. Right-click on the layer in the legend.
  2. Click on Layer Properties on the popup menu.
  3. The Layer Properties dialog will display. Click on the On The Floy Projection tab.

  2. .
  3. The Layer Properties dialog will display. Click on the On The Fly Projection tab.
  4. Pick the map projection and units that the map layer is stored in. When the map is drawn it will now convert the coordinates from this projection to the map projection of the map. See project settings for setting the map projection for the map.
