Solimyr, Since mean_provaimp didn't have any extent data at first, it is created during the ogr2ogr process. There must be some features that are beyond the extents of the other shapefile for this to have extended extents. FYI, the bounds are stored in the .shp file's header from the 37th to 68th

Thx for the answers, now I get the right srs but the extent is different: SHAPE 1 ( the one where I want to get the info and copy to the new) $ ogrinfo -al provaimp.shp INFO: Open of `provaimp.shp' using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful. Layer name: provaimp Geometry: Polygon Feature Coun

Sorry, I do not understand...You mean to write the spatialRef to a txt file and then doing something like: $ ogr2ogr -a_srs spatialRef.txt dst_shape.shp src_shape.shp Is this what you mean? Where inside the txt file there is: GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984", DATUM["WGS_1984", SPHEROID["WGS_19

Solimyr, It's hard to express the SRS WKT on command line. The easiest way is to save the srs wkt into a file and use the filename in place of the srs_def for the -a_srs option in the command. On Mon, Jul 11, 2011 at 3:42 PM, Solimyr wrote: > Thx, I tried to copy the file .prj but didn't work s

Thx, I tried to copy the file .prj but didn't work so I moved to use the ogr2ogr method using -a_srs but I'm not able to do that... I get the spatialRef using ogrinfo, like: GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984", DATUM["WGS_1984", SPHEROID["WGS_1984",637813.0,298.252223563]], PRIMEM["Greenwich",0
