The add polygon process looked fine, it shows up in the attribute table, the calculated acreage is 0.004 acres when it should be 1.4 acres, and all the areas of the other polygons are OK. When I click zoom to selected rows from the attribute table it zooms to the entire polygon, but when I click the polygon on the map with the Information button there is nothing there. Then or any time in this process it may crash. This is on a map with some photos as base and a few other layers. So, I tried an experiment and opened a new QGIS project, opened the shapefile and was able to add a polygon with no problem. Then I closed the new project, opened the old project, and was able to open the edited polygon and update the properties, etc. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>With another project with some of the same layers I tried to make a new shapefile layer and went through all the steps, the layer was created, (all the basic files are visible in Explorer) but I could not actually create a polygon that was visible. So, I went to the simple “new project” (no rasters) described in the prior paragraph and was able to create a new layer and create the polygon I wanted.
