Custom projection in 10.1

How to add a custom projection (local coordinate system) to the ArcGIS Server 10.1?

Used a variant described in the article User Defined Objects. In version 10.0 it worked - GeometryService return the correct result. But now (in version 10.1) the GeometryService returns an error '400': the input data are not geographic coordinate system or a projected coordinate system

try C:\Users\arcgis\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Server10.1\ArcToolbox\Coordinate Systems (x coordinate system)
C:\Users\arcgis\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Server10.1\ArcToolbox\CustomTransformations (x custom transformation)

Thank you very much.

Problem solved. Tried the proposed version, but the server did not work with the suggested folders. Began to look for an option to specify how these additional folders in the server configuration files, and came across a topic The PEOBJEDITHOME variable does not work on localized versions of ArcGIS 10.1. Now it works.

Thank you for link. I had used only CustomTransformations for a ntv2 in arcgis server

Hi all,

Great article and gets me really close to being able to define a custom coordinate system for ArcGIS for Server.

Is there any information as to what needs to be placed in the PEOBJEDITHOME folder? Do i just put in there my custom .prj files?

Thank you

In the catalog PEOBJEDITHOME placed files that define parameters of coordinate system, projection or transformation. File name is determined by the parameters that it describes. For example, to describe the projections in this folder place a file PROJCS with rows as follows:

PROJCS,202001,"MyProj",4284,43005,PE_PAR_FALSE_NORTHING,0,PE_PAR_FALSE_EASTING,11500000,PE_PAR_CENTRAL_MERIDIAN,33,PE_PAR_SCALE_FACTOR,1.0,PE_U_METER

Each row contains the projection parameters. To determine the geographic coordinate system created file GEOGCS etc.
Detail described in the article: User defined Objects

Codes of standard coordinate systems and projections can be taken from documents: "geographic_coordinate_systems.pdf", "projected_coordinate_systems.pdf" and "geographic_transformations.pdf", included in the documentation ArcGIS for Desktop.
