Hello,

I have a shapefile that I am trying to upload to Community Analyst.  It is a polygon file of school districts, the zip file is 1.5MB.  When I click on the "Import" button, nothing happens.  I am able to successfully import this zipped shapefile into ArcGIS Explorer Online, which tells me that the file is not damaged (at least, not for ArcGIS Explorer Online).  I have been able to successfully import other zipped shapefiles into Community Analyst.

File is attached.

Any idea what the problem is?

Thanks,

OK, I took the original U.S. Congressional District file and fixed the projection problem.  Then I selected the Colorado districts and exported a shapefile.  That file successfully imported to Community Analyst.

I'm concluding that the problem was a projection problem.   I think the file you created may have too many vertices - when I overlay it with the full U.S. file that I have, your file is much more detailed.

Thanks for your help!
