Using shape files in VA 8

[PaalNavestad]

Hi , I have several custom ESRI shape files. I get these imported, but I cannot figure out how I can use these in VA 8. Can somebody please tell me how or point me to the right part of the documentation.

Thanks

This is the version 8.5 documentation on using custom polygonal shapes:

Create a Geography Data Item By Using Custom Polygonal Shapes or Coordinates from a Geographic Data ...

Thanks, I followed this recepie. I get the data loaded, but get a message that none of this data is placed. If I take the same data and plot in a coordinate plot I get a result. So I'm still lost

I don't think we have enough details to understand your issue. However, here are some additional resources:

Thanks, for some reason or another I suddenly got the imported shapefiles to work

Hi @PaalNavestad,

I'm very glad to hear the imported shapefiles are working now.

If you figure out what wrong for you earlier, please let us know.

Thanks,
Sam
