[Qgis-user] Qgis polygon tool

[Alexandre Neto]

Hi mike,



You seem to be doing everything right. You click with the left button for a
while and you finish with the right-click.

The dialog is normal to appear. Just press OK.

What version of QGIS are you using? In which OS?
What  CRS are you using.
Do you have any filter or special style associated with your layer?

Try adding some existing data beforehand to make sure you are digitising in
a logical place (in the context of the CRS)
