Title: Can't open .shp files in Pro version (reason I bought Pro version)
Post by: digitalhippie on April 02, 2012, 08:11:13 PM

Hi Guys

Apologies if I am missing something obvious.

I've purchased the Pro version of Topofusion so I can work on .shp files, however Topofusion can't open any of the .shp files, instead returning the message:

Error Reading File: followed by the file name

Any help would be appreciated. I can provide one of the .shp files if needed.

Thanks!

Hiya,

If you can either attach one of the .shp files here, or send it to me by email (in sig), I'll take a look-see.

Thanks.

Thanks Scott, have emailed one of the .shp files just now.

I just noticed the same thing with a .shp I was trying to load.  I have had success in the past when loading .shp files.  The main difference is that I am now using Arc10. 

Is there something I need to do?

I believe there is a bug in the shapefile routine, introduced in the latest version.  I get it figured out and a new version out next week.

After looking at this closely, I did not find any errors.  I upgraded v4.5 of TF to the latest version of the shapefile library, however that did not help read your file.  It just immediately throws an exception that it's not a valid shapefile from the get go.

Let me know if you guys still experience problems.  Maybe libshapefile hasn't supported certain extensions for Arc10 yet.  Thanks.

Still throwing the error for me.  I'm going to try to run the shapefile through QGIS to see if it 'fixes' it.
