Hi,
I am looking for the definiton for Calgary 3TM
coordinate system.
Searching the web, I have got a few parameters, but
not the entire definition. It will be great if anybody
can help. I am hoping to view City of Calgary shape
and dgn files using the coordinate system.

Central Meridian = 114
Scale Factor - 0.9999

What about the latitude of origin and False Eastings
and Northings ??

Thanks In Advance
Murali Krishnan
