Re: [Qgis-user] Measuring line length while drawing
I guess that it may be like digitising lines of specified length and our cursor will be indicating length of segment during digitization, as being done in Measure tool presently. Will be useful in digitising lines of predefined lengths. harish On Thu, Aug 16, 2012 at 7:06 PM, Alexandre Neto senhor.n...@gmail.com wrote: Maybe using this? http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/25542/splitting-lines-at-a-specified-distance On Thu, Aug 16, 2012 at 12:42 PM, Jakob Lanstorp jlanst...@gmail.com wrote: Is there any way of measuring the line length on the fly while drawing the line?

Re: [Qgis-user] Measuring line length while drawing
I second this as a good idea as I have often wanted to draw lines of a predetermined length. And even have tools like in drawing packages where you can draw a line or other shape of set size and be able to duplicate and move around and rotate to the location you want. Useful for designing field experiments, cities etc. -Original Message- From: Harish [mailto:harry.om2...@gmail.com] Sent: 17 August 2012 07:19 To: Alexandre Neto Cc: qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org; Jakob Lanstorp Subject: Re: [Qgis-user] Measuring line length while drawing I guess that it may be like digitising lines of specified length and our cursor will be indicating length of segment during digitization, as being done in Measure tool presently.

I have a starting point and need to draw say a 1,234 km long vector line on top of a raster map in lat long degrees. Are there other alternatives? Long distances and lat/lon? The alternative might be to use Google Earth. Select the line drawing tool and in the box that pops up click the Measurements tab and then select your units of distance. Then click on your starting point and draw a short line. Then pick up the end of the line and move it. As you do this you will see that the reported line length changes. When you've finished adjusting the line click OK, then save the line as a KML file and load it into QGIS. Horrible really.

[Qgis-user] Measuring line length while drawing
Is there any way of measuring the line length on the fly while drawing the line? I have a starting point and need to draw say a 1,234 km long vector line on top of a raster map in lat long degrees. Are there other alternatives? Cheers, Jakob ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
