Description

Hey!!

I've tried to transform a shapefile from EPGS:4618 (SAD69) to EPGS:4674 (SIRGAS2000), but the product of this transformation doesn't shifts. It seems that QGIS export a shapefile with the new projection, but it is unable to apply (in fact) the values of the new ellipsoid.

Here are the official parameters for transformation between the both datums:

DX = -67,35

DY = +3,88

DZ = -38,22

I've attached the .gsb files (NTV2 transformation) used by the department of the brazilian government, IBGE, which is responsible for cartography etc.

SAD69 Original (SAD69_003.GSB)

SAD69 reviewed in 1996 (SAD96_003.GSB)

If I open in QGIS a shapefile originally created in ArcGIS in SAD69 and other in SIRGAS2000, also transformed from SAD69 to SIRGAS in ArcGIS, without activate OTF, I can see the displacement between them. But when I transform the ArcGIS-shapefile-SAD69 to SIRGAS2000 in QGIS, the QGIS is unable to show their displacement, even with OTF activated. Why does this happens with shapes transformed in QGIS?

And the last problem: The QGIS doesn't create properly the .prj file, both for SAD69 and SIRGAS2000, as exposed here:

SIRGAS2000

GEOGCSGRS 1980(IUGG 1980)"DATUM*["D_unknown"*SPHEROID["GRS80"6378137298257222101PRIMEM["Greenwich"0]UNIT["Degree]]

And the correct one, from ArcGIS is:

GEOGCSGCS_SIRGAS_2000"DATUM["D_SIRGAS_2000"SPHEROID["GRS_1980"63781370298257222101PRIMEM["Greenwich"00]UNIT["Degree]]

SAD69:

GEOGCSAustralian Natl &PRIMEM["Greenwich"0]UNIT["Degree]]

And the correct one, from ArcGIS is:

GEOGCSGCS_South_American_1969"DATUM["D_South_American_1969"SPHEROID["GRS_1967_Truncated"6378160029825PRIMEM["Greenwich"00]UNIT["Degree"00174532925199433]]VERTCS["WGS_1984_Geoid"VDATUM["WGS_1984_Geoid"]PARAMETER["Vertical_Shift"00]PARAMETER["Direction"10]UNIT["Meter]]

Here are the original data that I'm working with. These data are mineral rights from Rio Grande do Sul State, south Brazil:
Shapefiles in SAD69
Shapefiles in SIRGAS

I asked for help at the QGIS Forum. They've found the same problem and couldn't solve it.
Thanks!!
