| May 20, 2015 at 12:24 | comment | added | Neil | Yes, I have multiple polygons overlapping. The reason is, I need to create a single large polygon, but the shape of polygon is in such a format, that it cannot be done at once. So i created multiple polygons, with some overlapping so that there is no merging issue. Then i merged those polygons | |
| May 20, 2015 at 12:03 | comment | added | Phil | I wonder if your issue is related to this bug in which case you may be creating issues with intersections/holes due to number of polygons added. If it were me, I'd maybe start a fresh layer to test and ensure the polygons snap together. | |
| May 20, 2015 at 11:58 | comment | added | Phil | Compared to @til_b I can open the file and enter edit mode, but can only move features or edit nodes; I can't delete or edit features. There are multiple overlapping polygons in that shapefile. I wonder if this is causing the problem? | |
| May 20, 2015 at 11:50 | comment | added | Neil | Its in EPSG(3857) WGS 84 | |
| May 20, 2015 at 11:45 | comment | added | Neil | There were multiple polygons, that I created and then merged few of them. Not sure, if that is the issue | |
| May 20, 2015 at 11:44 | comment | added | til_b | My QGIS can open and edit the file allright, but when saving the edits weird things happen: the new polygon jumps to a different position. ArcGIS cannot open the shape file even if I rename the .dbf to "my_polygon.dbf", complains about different number of shapes in shapefile and attribute table. I suggest something is broken with the shape file. Just for the record: what projection is the shapefile in? I assumed 4326 (WGS84). | |

| May 20, 2015 at 10:24 | comment | added | Phil | There should be a .shp, a .dbf and a .shx file see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapefile#Overview. You can zip them up in to one archive if that's easier. | |
| May 20, 2015 at 10:14 | comment | added | Neil | Would you need supporting files as well? I am sorry, I am new in this field. So not sure | |
| May 20, 2015 at 10:13 | comment | added | Neil | I have added link to my shape file dropbox.com/s/vnd3sgsdue2ohah/my_polygon.shp?dl=0 | |
| May 20, 2015 at 10:01 | comment | added | Neil | Ofcourse @phil. I am sorry if that sounded rude. I updated permissions of that file and restarted qgis. Still same thing | |
| May 20, 2015 at 9:59 | comment | added | Neil | Yes, I did highlight my shape file, and then clicked on toggle edit. | |
| May 20, 2015 at 9:59 | comment | added | Neil | I created it. So I should have the write permission. I also updated it to give all permissions to all users. Didnt help | |
| May 20, 2015 at 9:56 | comment | added | vinayan | have you ensured that your shapefile layer is highlighted in the layer list(left side)? I think it might be needed for the editing tools to be active. | |
| May 20, 2015 at 9:53 | comment | added | Phil | Have you checked file permissions for the newly created shapefile? Is it writeable? | |
| May 20, 2015 at 9:36 | comment | added | Neil | Yes, I did try that. Did not work | |
| May 20, 2015 at 9:28 | comment | added | Phil | Have you tried saving and restarting QGIS? When I've had similar errors this can resolve the issue. | |
