Hello, I have a raster file with huge extention values:

Top 2862682.68853

Left -8067545.46588

Right 17050954.5341

Bottom -2862317.31147

Spatial reference WGS_1984_Mollweide

Liniar Unit Meter 1.00000

Angular Unit Degree (0.017453292519943299)

Datum D_WGS_1984

And I want to fit it in the same projection as a shapefile

Geometry Type: Polygon

Projected Coordinate System: WGS_1984_World_Mercator

Projection: Mercator

False_Easting: 0.00000000

False_Northing: 0.00000000

Central_Meridian: 0.00000000

Standard_Parallel_1: 0.00000000

Linear Unit: Meter

Geographic Coordinate System: GCS_WGS_1984

Datum: D_WGS_1984

Prime Meridian: Greenwich

Angular Unit: Degree

I have been trying to batch in the same projection but nothing really worked. Do you know how can I do that?

Many thanks!

Hi Adriane,

That is a pretty large raster; about 63% of the earths circumference...  I'm kinda curious; what type of raster data is this, how large is it (several TBs?), and more importantly why do you want to do this?

In general it is a lot easier to project the vector data (shapefile) to the projected coordinate system van the raster. If you project a raster you will probably apply some resampling and create a second dataset (which, depending of the cell size, will probably be huge too).

Kind regards,

Xander
