Reprojecting to County Coordinate System

I am trying to reproject an existing MrSid to Dane County Coordinates in Wisconsin from NAD27. I can set the existing coordinate reference system but can't find Dane County Coordinates in the list for the target system.

It is a standard projection in ArcMap. EPSG is 103412 I believe.

Even tried creating a custom WKT but it generates error "Unrecognised PROJECTION 'Lambert_Conformal_Conic'

Code: Select all
PROJCS["NAD_1983_HARN_WISCRS_Dane_County_Feet",
    GEOGCS["GCS_North_American_1983_HARN",
        DATUM["D_North_American_1983_HARN",
            SPHEROID["GRS_1980",6378137.0,298.257222101]],
        PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],
        UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],
    PROJECTION["Lambert_Conformal_Conic"],
    PARAMETER["False_Easting",811000.0],
    PARAMETER["False_Northing",480943.886],
    PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",-89.42222222222223],
    PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_1",43.0695160375],
    PARAMETER["Scale_Factor",1.0000384786],
    PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",43.0695160375],
    UNIT["Foot_US",0.3048006096012192]]


Anyone done this?

Also, Is there a way to fix the text on the dialog boxes in GeoExpress. They are all crowded and very hard to read at a screen resolution of 1600 x 900.

I tried the projection and didn't get an error. I imported it as a PRJ file from here:

h_t_t_p://spatialreference.org/ref/sr-org/6675/

Try browsing for the PRJ file when you add a new WKT in GeoExpress instead of pasting your WKT file.

As for the text, if your DPI is set to something larger, the text will expand in GeoExpress. Try setting your DPI to normal.
