Hey everyone,
I have converted the coordinate system of several point shapefiles from NAD27 to NAD83 using the following function in ArcToolbox:
data management tools/projections and transformation/feature/project
When the project window opens the input coordinate system is automatically entered as :
"NAD_1927_UTM_Zone_10N."
I chose "NAD_1983_UTM_Zone_10N" as the output coordinate system
For the geographic transformation pull down option, I chose "NAD_1927_To_NAD_1983_NADCON"
This creates a new shapefile. However, the UTM coordinates for the new shapefile are identical to the old shapefile, even though their respective coordinate systems are different according to the layer properties tab. Does anyone know how to correct this? These coordinates are in Washington State, and I am assuming that their would be a difference in coordinates between the two systems.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer with this.
Jason
