Hi,
I have a shape file which has already been saved with a spherical mercator projection. When I load that and apply a rotation projection it places the shape file way off from where it should be. It does correctly rotate it but I’m not sure why it puts it way up in Canada. Here are images which show it with and without rotation.
Without any rotation applied to the shape file.
With rotation projection:
Any idea why this would be happening?
Here is the code which is applying the rotation projection to the shape layer.
Dim
rotProjection
As
RotationProjection =
New
RotationProjection(currReplay.GetSelectedSensor().MagVar)
With
{.SourceUnit = GeographyUnit.Meter}
rotProjection.Open()
shapeLayer.FeatureSource.Projection = rotProjection
In this particular case the magnetic declination angle is -9.
Thank you!
Best,
Kevin
