Thanks to Chad Theismann who responded quickly:
To create a point shapefile in a stateplane coordinate system from a
lat-long (decimal degree) text file:
1. Add the table to ArcMap (.csv, .txt, or .dbf).
2. Right click on the table file in the TOC, and go to 'Display XY data'.
3. In the "Display XY data" window, under "Specify fields for the X and Y
coordinates", select the Longitude data field for the X Field and Latitude
data field for the Y Field. Do not specify a spatial reference. Hit OK.
4. Project the data frame to the desired Stateplane Coordinate System.
Choose Yes to continue when the warning appears about the coordinate system
differing from one or more data sources in the map.
5. Right click on the point layer that you created with Display XY data.
'Export' the data and check the "use data frame coordinate system". You can
look at the .prj to verify the projection.
* NOTE: Be sure that the Longitude and Latitudes are appropriate for your
site remembering that Longitude values in Florida are negative and Latitude
values are positive.

Subject: GISList: RE: [ArcGIS] Lat Long to Stateplane
To clarify, I have lat-long text data (not a shapefile) and want to create a
shapefile that is in a Stateplane coordinate system. I used to use the
Add Event Theme option in ArcView 3.x to create the points in a map view
with no projection defined and then use the projector! tool to convert
Dec-Degree points to Stateplane points. I know this can be done in ArcMap or
Arc
Toolbox 8 but can't find it.
thanks for you help,
jeremy
GISers:
I need some help remembering how to convert decimal degree points
(lat-long)
into a Stateplane Coordinate system in ArcGIS 8.3. I did this all the
time
in ArcView 3.x, and did it awhile ago in ArcMap but I forgot how.
thanks, jeremy
