Hi, > > I can see that the Chicago Ward Boundaries layer is in WGS84
it is not in WGS84, it is in "NAD83 / Illinois East (ftUS)" and was *reprojected* over a WGS84 layer, or a Google Mercator one, etc. Beside the layers from the openlayers plugin -that are not reprojectable- you can do also the other way around --> wgs84 (or whatever else) to "NAD83 / Illinois East (ftUS)" (or whaterver else). You control this by a) giving all layers their *own* CRS b) setting the CRS for the project c) enabling OTFR everything will be reprojected in the *project* CRS > but I'm not able to make it work with this layer from the Census.

I have downloaded the "Primary and Secondary Roads" layer of Illinois. The layer is in the "EPSG:4269 - NAD83" CRS, a geographic one (the wards layer is in a projected CRS). In the attached image you see that everything matches perfectly: the project is in "NAD83 / Illinois East (ftUS)" OTFR is enabled this way both the "EPSG:4269 - NAD83" layer and the WGS84 layer are reprojected in the "NAD83 / Illinois East (ftUS)" CRS. http://ubuntuone.com/5UQj3Yi7S8QhhECwsM7dxf try also open this project http://ubuntuone.com/0Yv3yPV3kL5tXdfLsy0NS9 cheers -- Giovanni -- _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
