Q&A - Question Converting KML to SHP Question PetH asked on December 08, 2016, keyword: Developer Kernel Hi im trying to convert from kml tp shape with this code: TGIS_LayerKML kml = new TGIS_LayerKML(); kml.Path = inputFile; kml.Open(); TGIS_LayerSHP shp = new TGIS_LayerSHP(); shp.Path = outputFile; foreach (TGIS_FieldInfo fi in kml.Fields) { shp.AddField(fi.Name, fi.FieldType, fi.Width, fi.Decimal); } foreach (TGIS_Shape sh in kml.Items) { TGIS_Shape newShape = shp.AddShape(sh); foreach (TGIS_FieldInfo fi in kml.Fields) { newShape.SetField(fi.Name, sh.GetField(fi.Name)); } } shp.SaveAll(); And it works but when i try to import the shape file in my gis software i get the message "coordinate system not defined falling back to WGS84" how do i define the coordinate system to WGS84 ?
