[Gvsig_english] New User - problems withsplitting geometries andattributes.

Now it’s my turn to say wow – I’ve never heard the term "inexpugnable"
before – mssrs Google and Wikipedia tell me it means ‘impregnable’, so I see
where you are coming from...

I’ve attached one of the shapefiles in question; ff you can have a look at
it that would be great, but no problem if not.  I’m afraid it is a mess, but
I didn’t collect it!

Regards

Cain

Wow,

If we were archaeologists we would say it's an "inexpugnable" shapefile.

If  nobody tells you the solution in a reasonable time, you can send one of
those shapefiles to the list so we can test it ourselves.

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:

All best,

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

Cain Hegarty
