qgis - How to define a CRS using a projection rotated about a given point


I have a data set that uses a common projection, but has its own false easting and northing, and is rotated 315 degrees. I need to be able to work in this CRS and easily translate from one CRS to another, so using hacks such as CAD tools is not practical. I have a definition of it for MapInfo, which works fine. However, I need it to also work in QGIS and other software, which require .proj4 format. I have defined a CRS which gives the results I want, but when changing from one projection to another, there is an offset generated which is different depending on the projection being used.



The MapInfo definition is: "GRDMF", 3018, 31, 7, 173, -41, 2510000, 6023150, 7, 0.686785, 0.726871, -5539726.41, -0.726876, 0.686796, -2108424.34, -1000000, -1000000, 1000000, 1000000


The .proj4 definition I have is: +proj=nzmg +lat_0=-41 +lon_0=173 +x_0=2510000 +y_0=6023150 +no_defs +a=6378388 +rf=297 +ellps=GRS80 +datum=nzgd49 +nadgrids=nzgd2kgrid0005.gsb +towgs84=84,-22,209,-0,-0,-0,0 +to_meter=1


The projection is New Zealand Map Grid with NZGD1949. The CRS I need is based on NZMG projection, but rotated 315 about the coordinate 2310655.80 5535100.29, which translates to 70501.32 13497.54 in the custom CRS.


Some test coordinates are:


NZMG coords            Custom CRS
2292000 5539000 60522.871 29736.79
2296000 5552000 72720.155 35757.861
2330000 5527000 77898.623 -6126.353
2339000 5521000 79718.234 -16788.504
2333000 5511000 68329.450 -19294.963

2321000 5520000 66629.725 -4392.060

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
