I'm working in a UTM projection and bringing in dxf layers from a different program. The dxf files are all in the correct UTM coordinates already, but when I bring them in I need to change the CRS to UTM 17N instead of WGS 84. Is there a way to change this default CRS?

Working in QGIS 2.6 Brighton

Reset to default

In Settings -> Options -> CRS tab, you can select to Prompt for CRS for new layers.

That should avoid the automatic assigning of wrong projections.

  • Perfect! And the option is there as well to change the default CRS if I know everything I'll be bringing in for that project will be UTM 17N - no prompt necessary
