Good morning,So I'm not a developer by any stretch - but I'm using QGIS for 90% of my GIS desktop needs. I have a suggestion/question on snapping. I'm currently using QGIS on a large project in the US Virgin Islands. We ran into a problem (I hate to call it that) with snapping between two point layers. If I set up snapping properly I can add a feature and have it snap to the other data layer (point on top of another point). If I bring in two existing point layers I can't get them to snap. Example (excuse poorly drawn attachment).
* I had an existing layer of Houses as points. * I collected data using a GPS and needed the new GPS point to snap to the existing house point. I know I can most likely do this in postGIS (and I can do it in openjump).I can also do this in ArcGIS. * I move the GPS point towards the house point (within snapping tolerance) and it doesn't snap.I tried several different things to try to make this work. * This also came up in the QGIS class I taught last week and several of us tried but couldn't get it to work. All the people in the class were arcgis users.Question (and I know this should head to the user list) am I missing something? If not - Can this functionality be added to help users in the snapping realm?
Thank you for all of your excellent work on the 2.0 release. Randy Randal Hale, GISP North River Geographic Systems, Inc http://www.northrivergeographic.com 423.653.3611 <tel:423.653.3611> [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> twitter:rjhalehttp://about.me/rjhale
