Re: [Qgis-user] Limit to Geodatabase File Size?

I too am a new user, but I had an experience that may relate to what you have described. I loaded a base map. I then loaded a shape file from the local Regional District. I right clicked on that layer and selected "Set Project CRS from Layer". And the base map vanished! I finally

[Qgis-user] QGOS maps fort Garmin GPS

I am running QGIS 2.18.3 and am at a very early learning stage. I wish to create simple maps, with 2 or 3 shape files for my Garmin GPSMaps 76CSx. This map would consist of Trails and Streams shp files and maybe Contours. It would also be accepted by Mapsource and Base Camp. There were

[Qgis-user] Primitive Troubleshooting

Earlier I was trying to figure out why Composer wanted to export raster files, and I wanted vector. I finally reduced my 'map' to the raster base map and one local shape file, Roads. With this I found that selecting the layer Roads and using "Set Project CRS to this Layer" was causing

I no sooner ask my question, then I try 'not selecting' anything in the 'up/on/below' label option. This left the 'on the line' showing a grayed out check mark. And now my labels are on the line! Sorry for wasting bandwidth. Stephen On 20/02/2017 12:09 PM, Stephen Wandling wrote: I

[Qgis-user] Label on the line

I inputted Contour lines from a shape file. I want to put the label (elevation) on the line. QGIS 2.18, in Contours/Properties, will not allow me to select 'on the line' only and will select 'above' the line' also. When I accept this, it always places it above the line. I am pretty sure I

I found 2.12.2 here: https://qgis.org/downloads/ I thought I had found 2.12.3. I downloaded it and unzipped it, but reading the Install, I realized it entailed building from source. Like you, I am not keen on going down that road. If 2.12.2 can serve your needs, it can be found on the
