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.
