How do I georeference Vector Data with Cartographica?

We don't directly support georeferencing a Vector file in Cartographica. There is indirect support for it by allowing the editing of the Projection/CRS that the data is presented in, and that's generally what we suggest in such cases. The challenges for this are two-fold:

If your data is North aligned already, then once you know the horizontal and vertical offsets, you can adjust the CRS by doing the following:

  1. Choose Layer > Set Layer's Projection
  2. Select an appropriate base coordinate system (for example a State Plane system if you're in the US)
  3. Click Edit (which creates an editable clone when you have selected a projection from the library)
  4. Adjust the x_0 and y_0 for the offsets from the coordinate system to bring the reference frame of your vector data into alignment.
