Hi Gabriel,

Yes - this is possible - but it is a bit hard to find.

I will try to explain (and yes, this would need improvements in the digitizing chapter of the QGIS manual).

Steps:

1. Enable Snapping on your active layer

2. Enable "Self Snapping"

3. Press the "Add Polygon Feature" button (but don't yet digitize)

4. Enable "Advanced Digitizing"

5. In the "Advanced Digitizing" panel select the angles you want to snap to

6. Start digitizing by pressing the left mouse button and adding the first segment with the second click

7. Add any additional segments by staying with the new segments within the angle tolerance in order to get new segments with proper right angles

8. If you want to close: first press "Alt-A" to fix the angle. Second: go to your initial start point and snap to it with the Left Mouse Button

9. Press "Right Mouse button" to finish editing the polygon

Here is a Video demonstrating the steps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JimwOpN8dOU (sorry about my voice, I don't have a radio voice ;-) )

As others have pointed out, you can uses the different "Add Rectangle" modes in the "Shape Digitizing Toolbars", e.g. "Add Rectangle from 3 points".

Hope this helps,

Andreas

Hello,

I'm digitizing a square using the advanced digitizing tool, however when I'm about to close the rectangle's last angle, the tool doesn't offer me to see how to close it with a perfect square angle at the last click. Thus cannot finish the figure as a perfect square (four 90 degree angles).

How can I perform the square with the 4 perfect 90 degree angles using the digitizing tool?

Thanks a lot for your help.
Kind regards,
Gabriel
