Import vector data with SNAP 12

I am trying to import a shapefile to use for masking. I use
File > Import > Vector Data > ESRI Shapefile
I get a window, I select the file I want, and then nothing happens. I’m expecting something to appear in the Product Explorer window, but there is nothing other than the GRD files I’m using. I opened the Mask Manager window too and there was nothing there. I’m not familiar with the other vector formats in the Vector Data menu, except CSV, and I’ve tried to save my polygon to a CSV and it won’t work, so I’m stuck with .shp. Does anyone have any advice?

Where did you get the ESRI Shape file from? Was it external or a product from SLC?

It was one I made and saved from Python for an area of interest for my work.

how can i post a question here? in this community?

@galloran By going to the home page and using the “New Topic” button.

The imported shapefile appears under the Vector Data folder within the product.

Check under the Vector data folder in that case

Thanks! :+1:t4:
