On the other hand I checked the EXTENT once again and it was wrong so I changed to the appropriate one (EXTENT 17.00 33.00 32.00 42.00) which I checked on QGIS in WGS84 so it should
be fine. If STATUS is set to default or On there's no difference. I also changed TYPE to line and polygon just to be sure but nothing. </span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 19px; font-family: 'bookman old style', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;" class=""><span class="" style=""><br></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 19px; font-family: 'bookman old style', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;" class="">My shapefile is a polygon with boundaries.
