I have a shapefile that had its geographic coordinate system defined as the projection NAD 83 UTM Zone 18. The scale of the layer was correct but it was at the wrong point in space. I redefined the layer's coordinate system as GCS_North_American_1983 using Define Projection tool. When I did this, the layer's extent values stayed in meters but the units changed to decimal degrees, resulting in the scale to change to 1:167,078,124,575 in order to bring the layer into view.
Data Type: Shapefile Feature Class Shapefile: F:\ADKCouncil\RawData\Natural\Hydrography\NoSource\ADKlakes.shpGeometry Type: PolygonCoordinates have Z values: No Coordinates have measures: No
Geographic Coordinate System: GCS_North_American_1983Datum: D_North_American_1983Prime Meridian: GreenwichAngular Unit: Degree
The layer has the correct values for the projected coordinate system in meters however it is in the geographic coordinate system using decimal degrees.

I tried to project the layer into NAD 83 UTM Zone 18 using the Project tool however an error results, .
