Doing an Import from Farmworks to Arcview
Just a few notes for me.
To import a shapefile from Farmworks to Arcview (BMG Nutrient in particular) switching from decimal degrees to UTM in arcview 3.1
1. Export as shapefile from Framworks (Usually done by BMG)
2. Create a view with units as decimal degrees
3. Add the exported shapefiles as themes
4. Convert the themes to shapefiles (step 3 and 4 help avoid some errors)
5. Use Arcview’s projection utility
a. select converted shapefiles,
b. Coord System is Geographic GCS_North_American_1927
c. Units Degree
d. Next
e. No to saving coord system
f. Projected
g. WGS_1972_UTM_Zone_14N
h. Units Meter
i. Next
j. No
k. Next
l. Finish
6. Close Project
7. Open Project, add new shapefiles
