Projections

The projection of a feature class is defined during import, and the feature class will be stored in the specified projection (see Import tools).

When a feature class is opened in a Map data view, it will however be reprojected to a common projection such that the user will not have to handle feature layers of different projections in the same map. This "common projection" is a user setting which is set in the System manager.

Changing the user projection

To change the user projection, open the System Explorer, right click on a user and select Edit from the context menu.

The User profile data view opens.

The Coordinate system setting defines the projection all feature layers will be displayed in when opened in a map view.
