I'm looking for a way to quickly refer to the projection I have set for a map without clicking through the Properties.
Is there a setting to turn on a display element which will show the current map's projection?

Most folks know the projection of their map canvas. If they don't, then it's available in the properties. I guess you could make a toolbar to do this, but it doesn't seem like it would have enough demand to make it into a new feature– VinceCommented Mar 8, 2022 at 12:52

If you're in a layout, there's a dynamic text element for 'Spatial Reference'– BrennanCommented Mar 8, 2022 at 15:59

@Vince I've got a bunch of places to map in one project. If it was just one projection to remember? Sure - easy to remember, but 45? I couldn't if I tried! That's why I was hoping for a little active display at the bottom of the map window.– CS_geoCommented Mar 10, 2022 at 15:06

@Brennan Yes. I'm using that in the layout, but before I get there. Thanks.– CS_geoCommented Mar 10, 2022 at 15:07

The simplest thing to do here is just rename your map frame to include the projection used for that map (ex. "Working Map 02 (UTM 14)").

1Thanks! Appreciate the idea for a workaround. Seems like the feature doesn't exist.– CS_geoCommented Mar 10, 2022 at 15:08
