You will need to add this new Map Layer to your map and/or Geodatabase, and remove the old Map Layer that uses the incorrect Coordinate System.You can think of geoprocessing as a language, where nouns are geographic data, such as features and tables and rasters, and tools are verbs, such as copy and clip and join. Then click OK twice.īy changing the name of the Shapefile/Map Layer in the Projection process, you've created a new Map Layer/Shapefile with the desired Coordinate System.

#ARCMAP TOOLS HOW TO#
The following directions will walk you through the process of checking your Map Layers/Shapefiles to find out which Coordinate System they are using and how to change them if they are different. In order for multiple map layers to work properly together, they must all use the same Coordinate System.
