Improve the advanced digitizing by angle #30133
Comments
This tool come from a CAD perspective using polar coordinate.
This options has been discussed years ago and could be added in QGIS. AFAIK, ArcGis propose a similar option |
The really bad is that it depends on the mouse position : With Advanced digitizing panel open, digitize one point at the screen center. For me, it's a bug, not a feature request... |
I would like to see updates on the advanced digitizer as well. possibly angle options such as setting the 0 deg direction, allowing other angle options such as bearing (DMS). Maybe even allowing for entering a list of point coordinates. |
@antoniolocandro azimuth is read only for now, but it would be a nice improvement indeed. |
It would make my aviation training a lot easier! |
I measured some things using the distance and bearing measuring tool, and then opening a layer to commit those thoughts to the project I discover that the adv. construction angle tool is still based on geometric mathematical quadrants and not having any relation to the measuring tool for bearing. Has this been added as a configuration option? Edit: As a workaround, install the Shape Tools plugin - Azimuth, Distance Tool |
Advanced digitizing angle seems completely unusable.
The angle (sadly only in degrees...) is not from 0 to 359, but depends on the cursor position (its quadrant). In absolute mode, one should be able to use any angle modulo 360.
Another annoying thing is that 0 is not oriented on north as it could be (mapping needs to work with compass), but on the east. It should be an option.
Finally, angle could be clock oriented. It should be another option.
