Coordinate Systems

[John Thompson]

Are coordinate systems and localizations stored in project archives?

I recently unpacked an archived project that used an LDP as the default coordinate system. The LDP was in the list of coordinate systems already in the LS, but when it unpacked, the CS of each page was set to a localization. I just changed it back to the LDP and everything worked fine. Is that supposed to happen?

Also, I am in the process of removing old projects and localizations from old projects. Seems like in the past, J-Field would not allow me to delete a coordinate system that was in use in one of the projects. I just now tried assigning a localization to a page, then deleting the localization. I successfully deleted it. Is that supposed to happen?

I just found out that J-Field will not let me delete a coordinate system that is in use in the current project, but I can delete coordinate systems that are in use in other projects.

Coordinate systems are stored in projects archives and pages should be set to the same coordinate system as when the project archive was created.

I'm not sure why sometimes coordinate systems can still be deleted when they are still associated with another project but I have noticed this too. I don't believe it is a problem as they should be recreated when that project is opened.
