Hi all,

If I may chime in:

this is a long-standing user wish - being able to georeference vector files in QGIS (in an easy way). This needs to go into core, not as a plugin that breaks with future QGIS releases or has dependency issues.

The same discussion also pops up in the Swiss and QGIS user group e-mail lists again and again and I believe it should be able to come up with funding, if some developer could take the lead on implementing this in QGIS core. I was hoping that Jürgen would be available to implement it, as he also did the DXF/DWG importer and it would make sense, that the DXF/DWG importer also integrates with a vector georeferencing solution.

Jürgen - would you be available to work on it? Or Alex?

Would someone be available to summarize the requirements and approaches in a QEP? I think this would help tremendously, writing down the requirements. Unfortunately, I don't have time currently to work on the QEP myself. But I will help to find funding to get this functionality into QGIS core.

Thanks,
Andreas

I've received a 3D AutoCAD file from an architect that i managed to convert into 2D .dxf format and import into my QGIS project, but it is out-of-scale and out-of-place, so i guess i need to add some georeferencing coordinates to the file.

This should be easy enough, since it's an accurate representation of a building that's already in the project -with an additional wing tacked on- so i'm thinking i could just use a few corners of that existing buildings as ground control points, and map them to the corresponding corners on this .dxf model, then maybe all other co-ordinates could be automatically generated by some tool, if i could just find the right one for the job.

Is there in fact any such easy way to do this thing?
