Thanks Curt everything works. Ok. It's a little bit of a hassle, but the only way the program knows you've completed a polygon. It then computes the area enclosed and gives you the popup to name it and such. -- Curt, WE7U. archer at eskimo dot com http://www.eskimo.com/~archer Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.

Probably. Unfortunately, I am unable to reproduce it on my own Ubuntu 8.04 system. I've also got the latest CVS on that machine, no problems at all with CAD objects not showing labels. I had guessed that it could be a LANG issue (since sometimes that breaks things) but I tried LANG=en_us and LANG=en_us.UTF-8 and Xastir wrote out the CAD object file with the label lat/lon and area Just Fine with either one. -- Tom RussoKM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "Argue for your limitations and sure enough, they're yours." -- R.

[Xastir] Draw CAD Objects
I am trying to learn how to draw CAD objects but having problems with the labels and comments showing on the map. The polygon draws fine, it can be edited from dashed lines to double dashed or solid lines. I have tried toggling all the selections as well as just toggling the comment and label toggle. But the label and/or the comment does not show on the map. I have two different computers both running ubuntu 8.04 and have the most current cvs update on both. The labels and comments do not display on either computer. Running both with online tiger maps. I talked to Curt before he left for vacation, his worked fine. He suggested I post to the list for further assistance. Any thoughts? kim - ac7yy ___ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
