[udig-devel] Projection WGS 84 as default

[Jesse Eichar]

Hi Jose,

Usually this happens only when the shapefile does not have a  
projection file associated with it.  You should be able to view the  
layer's properties and change the projection on the layer.  Then it  
should behave correctly.  Once you have told uDig what the correct  
projection for the layer is you can then change the projection for the  
map.

Or if you just change the map projection you should be able to press  
the zoom to layer button to show the shapefile.

Let me know if this helps.
