How to change the coordinate system of a WMS service?
Right-click the WMS service layer in the table of contents and click Change Coordinate System. Click a coordinate system from the drop-down list. If your map contains more than one WMS service, you can choose a coordinate system that is supported by all the layers in all the WMS services in your map.
What does ArcMap do if the coordinate system is not supported?
If that service layer is added to a data frame with a coordinate system not supported by the WMS server, such as World Fuller, ArcMap uses the image previously received from the server and projects it on the fly.
Can a server support more than one coordinate system?
WMS servers may only support a limited set of coordinate systems, depending on how the service has been published by its author. In addition, each WMS sublayer within the WMS service can potentially support different coordinate systems.
How to change the coordinate system of a data frame?
The Change Coordinate System dialog box allows you to change the data frame’s coordinate system to one that is supported by the WMS service. If you launch this dialog box by right-clicking any group or layer inside the WMS service, it will only list the coordinate systems supported by the group or layer you right-clicked.
Where to find WMS service layer in ArcMap?
Following are some common tasks for working with WMS service layers. When added to ArcMap, the WMS service layer’s entry in the table of contents is contracted to save space, but you can expand it and its groups to see the individual layers it contains.
Where do I find the EPSG number in WMS?
Both the European Petroleum Survey Group (EPSG) number, which the WMS server uses to distinguish coordinate systems, and the name of the coordinate system are shown. This information is also listed on the WMS server’s Properties dialog box in ArcCatalog.
