I want to transform from one projected coordinate system (pcs) to another using ArcGIS 10. Unfortunatelly the starting system is not predefind by ESRI and thus I´m not sure the software is doing what I want. The parameter of the starting system are the the following:
Europe_Lambert_Conformal_Conic Authority: Custom
Projection: Lambert_Conformal_Conic False_Easting: 0,0 False_Northing: 0,0 Central_Meridian: 10,5 Standard_Parallel_1: 48,667 Standard_Parallel_2: 53,667 Latitude_Of_Origin: 51,0 Linear Unit: Meter (1,0)
Geographic Coordinate System: GCS_WGS_1984 Angular Unit: Degree (0,0174532925199433) Prime Meridian: Greenwich (0,0) Datum: D_WGS_1984 Spheroid: WGS_1984 Semimajor Axis: 6378137,0 Semiminor Axis: 6356752,314245179 Inverse Flattening: 298,257223563
... and this should be transformed into: ETRS_1989_LAEA (WKID: 3035). What I have done is: 1. unprojecting to GCS WGS 1984 2. transformation to GCS ETRS 1989 (using the transformation option: ETRS_1989_To_WGS_1984) 3. projecting to ETRS_1989_LAEA
Now my question: does ArcGIS recognize the different userdefined standardparallels of the Lambert Conformal Conic projection as there is a predifined Lambert Conformal Conic projection already included in te software while unprojecting. The parameters of the predifined psc are the following:
Europe_Lambert_Conformal_Conic WKID: 102014 Authority: ESRI
Projection: Lambert_Conformal_Conic False_Easting: 0,0 False_Northing: 0,0 Central_Meridian: 10,0 Standard_Parallel_1: 43,0 Standard_Parallel_2: 62,0 Latitude_Of_Origin: 30,0 Linear Unit: Meter (1,0)
Geographic Coordinate System: GCS_European_1950 Angular Unit: Degree (0,0174532925199433) Prime Meridian: Greenwich (0,0) Datum: D_European_1950 Spheroid: International_1924 Semimajor Axis: 6378388,0 Semiminor Axis: 6356911,946127947 Inverse Flattening: 297,0
As you may recognize I`m not not really sure what ArcGIS is doing in the transformation process of of one psc to another, in contrast the transformation from gsc to another gsc is understandable.
