Transferring coordinates unit from Imperial to metric in Arcmap

Question

I have a raster with NAD_1983_StatePlane_Indiana_East_FIPS_1301_Feet coordinate.

Is there any way to transfer the coordinate to metric in ArcMap?

Answer 1

There are three methods. Two are temporary and the other will create a copy of the raster using metric coordinates.

Temporary 1

1. Add the raster to ArcMap.
2. Open data frame properties and select the General tab.
3. Change the display units to meters.

Temporary 2

1. Add the raster to ArcMap.
2. Open data frame properties and select the Coordinate Systems tab.
3. Pick a metric-based coordinate system.
4. OK the dialogs (you may also have to change the display units; see above).

Permanent 1

1. Open the Project Raster Tool.
2. Fill out the tool, using a metric coordinate system as the target.
