<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Good morning, <br>
<br>
So I'm not a developer by any stretch - but I'm using QGIS for 90%
of my GIS desktop needs. I have a suggestion/question on snapping.
I'm currently using QGIS on a large project in the US Virgin
Islands. We ran into a problem (I hate to call it that) with
snapping between two point layers. If I set up snapping properly I
can add a feature and have it snap to the other data layer (point
on top of another point). If I bring in two existing point layers
I can't get them to snap. Example (excuse poorly drawn
attachment). <br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>I had an existing layer of Houses as points. </li>
<li>I collected data using a GPS and needed the new GPS point to
snap to the existing house point. I know I can most likely do
this in postGIS (and I can do it in openjump).I can also do
this in ArcGIS. <br>
</li>
<li>I move the GPS point towards the house point (within
snapping tolerance) and it doesn't snap.I tried several
different things to try to make this work. <br>
</li>
<li>This also came up in the QGIS class I taught last week and
several of us tried but couldn't get it to work. All the
people in the class were arcgis users. <br>
</li>
</ul>
<p><br>
Question (and I know this should head to the user list) am I
missing something? <br>
If not - Can this functionality be added to help users in the
snapping realm? <br>
</p>
<p>Thank you for all of your excellent work on the 2.0 release. <br>
