Hi Tom, > Okay, I was able to go through and follow the procedure you outlined. I can > see the files in > the VM but they are all grayed out and I cannot select the shapefiles to > load. What might be > causing that? Thank you very much for bringing this issue up actually. I was able to run our VM for CAVE v20 and the GIS import window looks really terrible for me. I'm not sure if it looks the same for you? Please see the attached photo to confirm. It should like the photos shown in our blog post: https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/news/entry/awips-tips-import-shapefiles-in So, what you actually want to do (which is not intuitive), but outlined in that blog, is to "..to open a file chooser and navigate to the folder containing your shapefile." So, it is perfectly okay that your shape files are showing up grayed out. You'll want to select the folder they're in, and then normally you'd hit the "Connect" button (shown in the blog). I've highlighted this in red, from my VM screenshot. Once you do that, the actual shapefile(s) should populate in the lower portion of the dialog. Please let me know if this helps? And we'll definitely put this on the list of things to address. --Shay Carter She/Her/Hers AWIPS Software Engineer UCAR - Unidata If you're interested, please feel free to fill out a survey about the support you receive: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeDIkdk8qUMgq8ZdM4jhP-ubJPUOr-mJMQgxInwoAWoV5QcOw/viewform Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: XCZ-543179 Department: Support AWIPS Priority: Low Status: Open =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
