Hello,  
In order to update the coordinates system database and especially adding new vertical system, I am trying to insert EPSG.prj files. An error message is displaying “Unable to enter the coordinate system, Error e0010:” What does that mean ? I don’t find anywhere an explanation.  
Thank you for your reply,  
[8885.prj](https://community.pix4d.com/uploads/short-url/uJ0fI5kfWSidw2KcLlKtmkqP2uI.prj) (1.3 KB)

Hi,

May I ask if you found somewhere this file or you created it?  
Here is a document that you might find useful:

> **[How to obtain or create a .prj coordinate system syntax file](https://support.pix4d.com/hc/en-us/articles/202559979-How-to-obtain-or-create-a-prj-coordinate-system-syntax-file)**

Best,

Hi,  
I found these datas on [https://epsg.io/](https://epsg.io/) website. I copied the content in an existing prj file, change the EPSG name and that all. In this website, it is not possible to download an prj file, or I do not know how to do. I originally wanted to download an prj file (EPSG5720; EPSG8885) from [spacialreference.org](http://spacialreference.org) but I meet the same code error “0010”. I thought there might have been a clerical error with this file. The aim is to use an IGN69-RAF18 or RAF20 instead of EGM— or correct the géoïde height every time.

Hi pmambacher1,

Unfortunately, PIX4Dmapper does not support a .prj for the vertical coordinate system. You might want to look at PIX4Dmatic as it will support vertical coordinate systems.

Hi.  
I am faced with the same issues.

I have the Pix4D bundle, but for projects smaller than 1.000 pictures I like using Mapper.  
I am aware that I could just use the Matic program, but I find it easyer to use the Mapper. Plus it has some nice features I can’t seem to find in the Matic program.

Will there be an update for Mapper in the future that supports .prj files for vertical coordinate systems?  
Otherwise I dont find it necessary to extend my billing plan for the annual updates that are soon to come.

Best regards Lea
