The files with the monuments co-ordinates are exactly the same ones copied over by drag and paste there are no differences between the originals and copied. Two of the files work to don't. They show in the left hand column of the qgis window but nothing on the map itself.


(Returning the the maillist, maybe someone else will have ideas)

Does each of the shapefiles have a *.prj ? Maybe the monuments are in some different CRS? Try to right-click on the monuments and choose "Zoom to Layer".
Just reaching at straws here...


Both of the files that are not showing have .pri files, the two that do not do not have them.  I also checked the fields, the working files have fields while the non working ones do not. They also do not show when I click on 'Zoom to layer'.


The files for the map, map contours and county outline are exactly as copied over and work fine.

So you have 4 sets of shapefiles on two different computers. All 4 display as expected on one computer, but when they are copied over to a different machine, one of the 4 does not display? And all the components of all 4 shapefiles are identical on both machines?
One machine is ubuntu, the other fedora 16, and both are running QGIS 1.7.4. If that sums it up, then indeed there are some gremlins at work here...


That is correct, except that it is two of the shapefiles and yes they are identical.


(Again, keeping this on the maillist)
Would you be able to post the problem shapefiles somewhere public, so I can have a look?
