After creating (Adding) new polygons in a specific feature layer why does GM not create a new row in the related dbf file with the new shape's features?

Hello Geert,
Since you mention a DBF file, I assume that the source data was in a shapefile. Updates to feature data are stored internally by Global Mapper, but do not get automatically applied back to the original input data source. After changing your features, you will need to export the data to a new shapefile in order to get a new row in the DBF file (or you could overwrite the original file, I suppose.)
Cheers,
Bob
