qgis - How to transpose the lat/lon coordinates of a shapefile?


I need X to be Y and Y to be X (switching lat/long) within the polygon shapefile. If it were a point shapefile I know I could simply reverse the lat/long or x/y parameter and import from a table. I'm not sure how to do something similar with a polygon layer. Is there any editing tool that would accomplish this? I have QGIS and ArcMap 9.3 ArcInfo licensing available. Its projected as WGS 1984.


I'm working with a large polygon file so manually changing it would be very tedious. Any thoughts on how to do this?

There is no out of box solution in ArcGIS. But you can use scripts to achieve this. Try this form arcscripts catalog http://resources.arcgis.com/gallery/file/Geoprocessing-Model-and-Script-Tool-Gallery/details?entryID=DDFDC6B9-1422-2418-7FA8-E61F0683523D
