Dear QGIS Team,
I would like to create a circle whose diameter is 75 metres. I am using QGIS
version 3.16.3-Hannover.
My procedure so far has been like this:1. create a new shapefile layer ->
geometry type: polygon2. in edit mode of this layer: add circle with centre and
another point--> How can
Dear Madeline,
If you want to start with a point layer representing the center of the
circle, then you can use the Shape Tools plugin to create either a geodesic
ellipse or donut about the point. If you use the donut, just set the inner
radius to 0 and the outer radius to 37.5 meters. You can also
Dear Madeline,
you may start with a point layer : the point(s) as the mid point(s) of your
circle(s).
Then you can draw a buffer of a certain distance with the buffer tool
(geoprocessing tools) around your point(s). In case of a buffer for points
the distance is the same as the radius of the circle
Ah - and don't forget that you need to finish the circle with the
right-mouse button!
So the steps are (more or less):
- enable editing
- enable advanced digitizing tools (the button with square and ruler)
- enable the circle tool (e.g. "Add Circle by a Center Point and Another
Point" tool)
Hi Madeline,
You need to enable the "Advanced Digitizing mode/panel". See
https://docs.qgis.org/3.16/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_vector/editing_geometry_attributes.html#the-advanced-digitizing-panel
for details.
The shortcut "d" (distance) is your friend. When this mode is activated
you
