The data in the attribute table will not change when you reproject the geometries.

After reprojection, you have to add new columns with $x and $y values. These will be in the coordiante system at the moment when you add them. You can delete the old columns with coordinates if they are not useful to you anymore.

  • Sorry, i pressed enter to early. What i mean is, e.g. i have GK : 3472026/ 5895225 and want them to UTM- coordinates :471961 / 5893308. With $x and $ y i just get the lat/long. or am i wrong? thanks for your help !!

  • You get the coordinates in the CRS that is current at the time of editing. So if you reproject to UTM, you get UTM coordinates.
