Hi guys,

Just let me explain how that tool works. The "add event layer" button appears when gvSIG has any table loaded (because without tables that button is useless). If you load a shapefile on a view and open the attribute table, this table appears also as a "table document" at the project manager (you know, the view/table/layout interface) so the button appears at the view interface.

To add a CSV you have to follow the gvSIG manual instructions at [1], taking care of the delimiters!! Once you have the new "table document" you can add the event layer following [2].
