Re: [Qgis-user] New Shapefile Features Fail to Save

[Springfield Harrison]

Hello Carlos & Group,

        Sorry for the delay.

        Carlos, I believe you have got the solution.  I simplified the snapping options as you suggested and things started operating normally again.  Thank you very much for that tip.  I need to reread the instructions on the "avoid intersections" option.

        However, when I run the topology checker, it often flags a variety of errors although I am careful to create polygons by only snapping to existing vertices.  It does a great job of finding the errors, but I can find no instructions on methodology for repairing them.

        I will likely post this query as a different topic, thank you again, Cheers . . . . . . . . Spring Harrison

Hi Carlos,

Aha, this may be it. I've never fully understood all the Snapping options. And this is what might differ from my previous Adding Feature sessions which have always worked well.Â

I'll try your suggestions and report back . . . .

Hi Springfield:

I've had similar trouble some time ago, as a QGIS beginner user. Previous given advices are for not too-beginner users, but I think my experience can be useful for the list (or even for you?):

That time my error was my Snapping options: I had selected two or three layers and it was selected the "avoid intersections" option, then, when I added new digitized polygons, they were splitted or deleted (as you tell) because new polygons were intersecting marked layers in snapping options. It fixed when new digitizing shape was the one marked (of course to avoid intersections between her elements) .

Yes it was something simple, my foul. Is it not same trouble?. If so, Check it in "Configuration --> Snapping options --> Change the Self-assembling mode to "advanced" and be sure that "avoid intersections" is marked in your target layer only.

Cheers,

Carlos Cerdán

Hello Group,

        Am using QGIS 2.10.1 and have done so without significant problems for many months. I am attempting to create simple polygons in a shapefile by direct vertex entry or copying polygons from another shapefile layer and pasting them into the active layer.

        In almost every case, these features disappear. There is an entity entry in the attribute table but there are no polygons created. In one case a polygon was created but it was not the shape that I digitized; no more polygons could be created although the process for doing so appears to be working. No error messages were created. The CRS for the project and the shapefile are the same.

        The shapefile can be opened in another GIS but has no content.

       Â

        Here are some product details: QGIS version 2.10.1-Pisa QGIS code revision d20c5b7

        Thanks very much for any help you can render, Cheers . . . . . . . . Springfield Harrison
