I am using QGIS. I have three different study sites on an island, and have defined these as three polygons using 'clip'. I want to export the geometry data so I could import it into 'Distance' for study design - however, the polygons have an attribute table that is basically empty. Therefore when I try and export, I get .csv file which only contains the column headings "shapeid" "x" and "y" but no data. 

I'm not sure what I have done wrong. The original shapefile that I used as base for clipping has a full attribute table with many points.
