Hi Larry,
this is even better than what I had in mind! I like the red pencil
indicating the dirty status of the layer. Many thanks for that. However
I would change the tooltip to "Save edits in all layers" because as it
is now we have "Save all edits" vs. "Save edits" which might puzzle
users: Does the latter one not save all edits?

Hi Angelos,
I agree that some 2 to 5 tools should go into cadTools. What we have until
now:
- parallel move of polygon side (IMHO CAD-like function)
- split feature with selected feature from another theme (general digitizing
function)
- cut out from feature with selected polygon from another theme (general
digitizing function)
- continue editing an exisitng line (general digitizing function)
- save all layers being in editing mode in one go (general digitizing
function)
This was added here [0], but only for layers that have unsaved edits.
Also, a red pencil legend layer icon was added to indicate when a
layer has unsaved edits. Let me know if you have any comments on or
suggestions for their implementation.
The 'Save All Edits' functionality will be added to the project close
notification, when layers are found to have unsaved edits (currently
just shows some red text that can be overlooked).

- fill hole(s) in polygon feature (general digitizing function)
- fill spaces between polygons (general digitizing function)
- avoid intersection when copying/pasting polygons (reported bug)
- split lines with points (IMHO fTools)
- prolong a line, i.e. move its endpoint in the direction of the last
segment (CAD-like function)
from a users point of view it would be nice to have everything related to
digitizing in one plugin on the other hand users probably do not expect the
functions I marked as "general digitizing" in a plugin called cadTools.

Hi Bernhard,
I agree that some editing ideas are not strictly CAD but we have to
think the end user and where the tools are expected to be found more
easily. Also the number of new tools are important. For 2-5 new tools,
extending cadTools would be more appropriate than a new plugin.

Angelos,
would you see this functionality rather in cadTools or in a new plugin?

Dear list,
during a course I realized that my institution needs some more editing
tools for advanced editing tasks e.g.
- prolong a line
- cut polygon with feature (line or polygon) from another layer
- save all layers being in editing mode in one go
- some more
A little background: when digitizing data we are not starting from
scratch but are digitzing on existing data in many different layers
(parcels, restricted areas ...). A new polygon normally needs to fit
into these existing boundaries. Trying to digitize along existing
boundaries of several layers and snapping to them is cumbersome and
you are very likely missing snapping nodes (even when using trace
digitize plugin).
Is any of you aware of similar functions in a plugin (I know
cadTools)? Is anyone interested in joining me to create such tools as
a Python plugin? Which functions would you like to have?
regards
Bernhard

Hi Bernhard,
Excellent timing, I was thinking about creating a new functionality that
I need for a parcel digitization project.
One tool I have in mind is parallel moving of a side of a polygon in
order to achieve a specific area for the polygon (and at the same time
maintain topological integrity with near polygons.
Cheers,
Angelos
