Hi Cameron Two suggestions, but not an excact solution: You can use the mmqgis plugin and select "Hub Distance". With this you can transfer an attribute (or an ID and then use a join afterwards) to a pointlayer from the nearest line in a linelayer. But be aware that "nearest" line will be based only on a "centre point" for the line and if your lines are very curved or of varying lengths you may not get the expected result. You might use the "Vector-Geometry Tools-Extract Nodes" to convert your line layer to a point layer and use this point layer as the Hublayer instead of the line layer. Anybody knows an excact method? ----- Regards Morten (Qgis 1.7.1 and Win 7) -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/Snap-points-to-nearest-line-tp6994907p6995832.html Sent from the qgis-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
