Converting SPCS Shapefiles to Lat/long

Data Manipulation, then the Resample/Reproject Shape file menu.

• You must correctly pick either a point database, or a line/area shape file.
• Pick the state, and the correct zone if the state has more than one, and the horizontal units.
• Pick the shape file to convert.
• Pick a name for the converted shape file. Appending an "-ll" for "lat/long" can be helpful as the original file is not changed. You can delete the original file when you are sure you got the conversion correct.
• Pick the state and zone if required. If the state is not listed, you picked the wrong projection type.
• Select database field with SPCS easting (x coordinate).
• Select database field with SPCS northing (y coordinate).
• The file will be converted.
