Export GPS file in Lambert 93 for Illustrator manipulation

Question

In Illustrator, i use some french IGN maps (1/50 000 scale) Lambert 93. I want to put on some GPX files to the right position for sure. I use QGIS to import the GPX file, i modify the reference to Lambert 93 (code : 2154)

I export it in DXF file. When i open it in Illustrator impossible to have the GPX file a the right place on my map

Any idea ?

Thanks

How do you "modify the reference"? Setting the CRS of the layer is not enough. You should Save as ... as Shapefile (don't forget a new name), choose EPSG:2154 as CRS, and add the layer to the canvas.

Now you can look if map and your file data align, by switching "On the fly-Projection" off and on. Your reprojected data should rest in place, while your GPX layer will vanish when checked off.

Then you can export it as DXF.
