I understand, thanks for the explanation. Then why not disabling measurements when OTF is off? giving a totally false measurement does not seem a good idea. I believe 2.18 will be around for a good while, and I hate sending around wrong results of which the user has no clue whatsoever. Still unclear to me why the lack of ellipsoid would lead to 40% error, but that's my ignorance. All the best. -- Paolo Cavallini - www.faunalia.eu QGIS & PostGIS courses: http://www.faunalia.eu/training.html https://www.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=IT&q=qgis,arcgis _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list QGIS-Developer@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
