Unable to use shp files with ReportBuilder 3.0
Unable to use shp files with ReportBuilder 3.0
- I am trying to work with Reportbuilder 3.0 and pull in a ESRI Shp file. I click create a Map. Select ESRI shapefile. Browse to the Local File location for the .shp. The .dbf file is in the same location. The preview does not show anything. If I complete the wizard, I still can not see any part of the layer.
Is this susposed to work in this release? If so, what am I doing wrong. I do not get any errors.

Can you select the Map and open Viewport property dialog from the context menu? Try to change the 'Coodinate system' to 'Planar' and see what happen.

- Thanks, That was it.
We will automatically detect the coordinate system in next CTP and make it works by default.
