Hi Larry, +1 for the revert edits button One thought about the save/revert all buttons: they can damage the user's data. Because the undo history is gone then. With these buttons all changes are committed and there is no confirmation asked from the user. How if a list of the layers in

Hi! Hi Giovanni, You're probably talking about Ringer plugin. yes to include this functionality into fTools. Because of that I don't move it to new repository. that would be nice. What do you mean about asking for attributes? To copy them from parent polygon or popup form for each

* the tool should be able to fill all holes and/or spaces (with polygons) in one go that is similar but different from what I had in mind. I was thinking about the user clicking in a hole or space and just this one is filled. The algorithm however would be the same. a plugin that works

Hi Leyan, I know avoid intersection and it works ok but having several layers as digitizing base and creating a new polygon it is not very handy (open menu untick what is ticked, tick what you need now, digitize the polygon). It seems more straight-forward (especially from a user's point of

Hi Bernhard, I agree that some editing ideas are not strictly CAD but we have to think the end user and where the tools are expected to be found more easily. Also the number of new tools are important. For 2-5 new tools, extending cadTools would be more appropriate than a new plugin.
