Description

If one copies selected features from one layer to another with different CRS (e.g. old Swiss system EPSG:21781 to new Swiss system EPSG:2056) the datum transformation is not correctly applied.

This concerns features that are copied with the digitizing tools, with copy (in one layer) and paste in the other layer.

Selection map tool and snapping are also affected.

History

#1 Updated by Andreas Neumann over 7 years ago

This is in a project where the project uses EPSG:2056 and where some layers are in EPSG:2056 and some in EPSG:21781

Assuming that the datum transformation for on-the-fly transformation (display) is correctly specified, using the CHENYX06a.gsb file from Swisstopo (https://shop.swisstopo.admin.ch/de/products/geo_software/GIS_info --> free download, but need to confirm terms of usage). You have to download "NTv2 grid CH1903/LV03 -> CH1903+/LV95"

Hi Andreas,

a genuine question... is copy/paste features expected to work between layers with different CRSs? I was remembering that they need to have the same CRS, but may I am wrong?

If you need to transform layers CRSs using NTV2 grids remember that there is this

http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/ntv2_transformations/

that also includes Swisstopo grids.

@Giovanni: Apparently copy/paste between two layers with different CRS seems to work. It is just the datum transformation that isn't properly applied.

I will prepare a small sample data set and strk will have a look at it.
