ESRI.ArcGIS.DataManagementTools Namespace : DefineProjection Class


Records the coordinate system information for the specified input dataset or feature class including any associated projection parameters, datum and spheroid. It creates or modifies the feature class's projection parameters. This tool supports coordinate transformation using either of two projection systems. It can be used to define a feature class as a spherical coordinate system with angular units (such as Geographic) or a planar coordinate system with linear units. Most geoprocessing tools assume you have a planar, two-dimensional feature class. So if your feature class is in a geographic coordinate system in Decimal Degrees (DD, angular units), use the Project tool to project your feature class to any suitable projected coordinate system in linear units (meters or feet).
