Re: [Qgis-user] Measure distance along line

Thanks all for your answers. To resume the possibilities : - Create a temporary line layer, create a line with automatic tracing on. Get the length of the created geometry - Use Shortest path (point to point) tool, which allow to click on two points on the line to create a temporary line layer

Re: [Qgis-user] Measure distance along line

Hi, If you have lines, just use the field calculator, add a length field and  use  "$length" (with no quotes) in the expression box. If you CRS is in meters, you will get meters. Nicolas On 2021-04-29 8:49 a.m., Prud'homme Jérémie wrote: Hi, Thanks, I didn't thought about this tool but

Re: [Qgis-user] Measure distance along line

Jérémie, That does sound like a cool feature. The work around I would use is: - Create a Line Scratch Layer - Trace the path of interest (using the automagic trace feature in snapping) - Get the derived length by using the identify tool. -Bas On Thu, Apr 29, 2021 at 8:49 AM

Re: [Qgis-user] Measure distance along line

Hi, Thanks, I didn't thought about this tool but it can do the job. Having the ability to follow the line in the measure tool would be simpler for QGIS beginners, though. BR, Jérémie. Le jeu. 29 avr. 2021 à 14:03, Ujaval Gandhi a écrit : > The closest I can think of is to use the 'Shortest

Re: [Qgis-user] Measure distance along line

The closest I can think of is to use the 'Shortest path (point-to-point)' tool from the Processing Toolbox. It will allow you to select 2 points on your line layer and give you an output line with the distance along the line as an attribute/ [image: Logo] Ujaval

[Qgis-user] Measure distance along line

Hi, I am wondering if it's possible to use the Measure distance tool to measure the distance between two places, following a line. For example, I click on a first place on the line, I click on a second place and the tool automagically follow the line. Same behavior as what we can do with the use
