Hi Randy, I've come to accept that's just the way it is. It would be nice if the move tool did snapping. I guess it might be tricky to implement - with the node tool the cursor position and node being moved are one and the same, but with the move tool that’s not always the case.
As an aside are you using the wonderful CAD Node Tool plugin, https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/issues/69 ? The built node tool became quite sluggish for me after QGIS 2.8 for some reason. The plugin is much more fluid and the best thing is it does topological editing across layers. Its not perfect though - you can't select a sequence of nodes and move them at the same time. Cheers, Martin. -----Original Message----- From: Qgis-user [mailto:qgis-user-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Randal Hale Sent: Tuesday, 30 May 2017 11:53 PM To: qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org Subject: [Qgis-user] Snapping: Move Features vs Node Tool A question. In an attempt to help a client I'm doing some data cleanup - which is good. I spend too much time talking and not enough doing. I need to snap points to the endpoints of lines. If I set snapping up and use the move features tool the point doesn't snap to the line. If I move the point using the node tool the point snaps to the line. I've been looking for an option or something to change. I'm not seeing one. Is this expected behavior? To me it would make more sense for both tools to snap data - but I may be missing something. If I add data, the data snaps as I would expect it. The good people I'm helping immediately started moving data and it didn't snap - and I've instructed them to use the node tool to make the edits.
