[Gvsig_english] New User - problems with splitting geometries andattributes.

[Cain Hegarty]

Dear Juan Lucas - I can get lines I have digitised to split, or imported from other sources, just not the shapefile I have imported from the GPS...

Dear Anna - Thanks for that.  I have already been using your manual, and very useful it is too.  

And I can't update ANY attribute tables manually; is there a freetext option when adding fields to tables, or are they all numeric?

Thanks again, 

Cain

A basic tutorial on splitting geometries (and vector data editing in gvSIG) can be found within our Open Source Survey & GIS Manual: http://library.thehumanjourney.net/367/

All best,

Anna

Hello,
the split geometry tool is enabled when a geometry is selected. Use this tool to select the geometry you wish to split:

http://forge.osor.eu/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/*checkout*/trunk/extensions/extIconThemeBase/images/22x22/edition-geometry-select.png?root=gvsig-desktop&rev=15922

As for the input issue, I have no idea. Try to input simple values, perhaps you are trying to input too many digits?


Regards,
Juan Lucas Domínguez Rubio

Hi,



Can anyone help? I am a new user, learning on the job, and I’m having a few problems.



I have new layers from shapefiles exported from a GPS; I can open the data, manipulate it (move, copy etc) but cannot do anything more fundamental to it.



For instance, I want to split polylines but the Split Geometries tool remains permanently greyed out. Also, if I try to add information to the new fields I have added to the attributes table, when I [return] after inputting, it reverts to ‘0’.



I have probably missed something incredibly basic, so please, any suggestions (apart from ‘have you made the layer editable’!) are very welcome!



Thanks in advance
