| Feb 20, 2016 at 7:11 | comment | added | charliec | I realize that in QGIS the CRS has to be assigned when the shapefile is created (as it was for the 1st test), or when it is created from another shapefile using a Save As (as it was for the 2nd test). Any other actions can cause problems as you indicate. | |
| Feb 20, 2016 at 6:55 | comment | added | charliec | I do have OTFT turned on. In fact I have to enable OTFT to project the map. Then if I disable OTFT I do get the correct DMS readout, because the map CRS reverts back to GCS Camacupa. In other words the map is no longer projected. If I leave OTFT enabled the map is properly projected, but the DMS readout is untintentionally transformed to WGS84. And WGS84 is not referenced by the map or the layer. | |

Change the canvas CRS should be ok, but Change the shapefile CRS using Set Layer CRS will corrupt your data. Use ` Save As ...` instead.
