What is base map GIS?
The term basemap is see often in GIS and refers to a collection of GIS data and/or orthorectified imagery that form the background setting for a map. The function of the basemap is to provide background detail necessary to orient the location of the map. Basemaps also add to the aesthetic appeal of a map.
Is the shp file importing but not displaying?
Yes, that is correct – the original linking of the shp file showed the map objects. After closing and reopening they no longer display. And now starting with a new drawing and linking the shp file anew won’t display the map objects. 04-26-2017 03:53 AM
Why is the new.shp layer not showing up?
If a fresh file is started and I bring in ‘new.shp’, it will appear, but any other layers imported after does not. On the flip side, if other layers are imported first, the other layers appear, but ‘new.shp’ will not show up.
How to delete the shapefile in Windows 10?
Navigate to the folder wherein the shapefile is stored. Look for two files with SBX and SBN extensions. If the shapefile is called PARCELS, the files that form the spatial index are PARCELS.SBN and PARCELS.SBX. Delete the two files. If there is only one file, delete it.
Why is my drawing not showing on shp?
If the SHP has a CS (a PROJ file) then you can see at least what CS is assigned then to your drawing and if you can see the geometry or not. When the connection to a drawing without CS works, but the connection to a drawing with a predefined CS does not work then you might have a problem with the transformation between 2 different CS.
