I second this as a good idea as I have often wanted to draw lines of a predetermined length. And even have tools like in drawing packages where you can draw a line or other shape of set size and be able to duplicate and move around and rotate to the location you want. Useful for designing field experiments, cities etc.

Will be useful in digitising lines of predefined lengths. harish On Thu, Aug 16, 2012 at 7:06 PM, Alexandre Neto <[email protected]> wrote: > Maybe using this? > > http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/25542/splitting-lines-at-a-spec > ified-distance > > > On Thu, Aug 16, 2012 at 12:42 PM, Jakob Lanstorp <[email protected]> > wrote: >> >> Is there any way of measuring the line length on the fly while >> drawing the line? >> >> I have a starting point and need to draw say a 1,234 km long vector >> line on top of a raster map in lat long degrees. >> >> Are there other alternatives? >> >> Cheers, >> Jakob >> _______________________________________________ >> Qgis-user mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user > > > > _______________________________________________ > Qgis-user mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user > -- Harish Kumar Solanki, Assistant Professor National Institute of Rural Development (NIRD), Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India Jaipur, Rajasthan, India- Pin-302006 Email- [email protected], [email protected], Tele-Fax-0141-2209905, Mo.- 09214446732, 09414291732 Website- http://www.nird.org.in, http://watershed.rajasthan.gov.in/ LinkedIn: www.linkedIn.com/in/hksolanki _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user -- The Open University is incorporated by Royal Charter (RC 000391), an exempt charity in England & Wales and a charity registered in Scotland (SC 038302). _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
