<font size="-1"><font face="Verdana">Hi Marco,<br>
<br>
Looking at the discussion [0], I don't see strong opinions
against this, but indeed the node was not usable, many of its
features where missing.<br>
Here is the list of remaining things to do to bring it at a
usable state at that time [1].<br>
<br>
While discussing refactoring of the node tool for circular
strings, which went without any QEP, I was asking to use the new
snapping API and to integrate it in the advanced digitizing
tools. I thought we agree at that time.<br>
<br>
I find a real pity that such a big change was not integrated
into existing effort. Now, it will make things even more
complicated.<br>
<br>
I admit that, one year earlier, the first discussion did not
yield to a solid agreement [2]. Although, this is the kind of
behavior that is not really easy to speak about until you really
tested it. I have a solid belief that click-click is the right
approach since:<br>
- people using it find it better<br>
- other QGIS tools behave the same<br>
- it allows integration of CAD tools, cancelation of current
editing action with right-click, and avoids digitizing errors.<br>
<br>
We had the same type of discussion when we remove the fact that
right click was adding a last node to the digitized line or
polygon.<br>
Some were strongly against any change, but from now it looks
much more natural.<br>
<br>
So, yes, effort will start again to make the node tool more
integrated into existing framework and workflows.<br>
Although, it will be brought to QGIS 3, so it might be easier
for such a change.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>

It was not only reverted because of bugs, it was mainly because
some users strongly disliked the behaviour changes. If you make
a new go, it will be good to have a QEP about it.<br>

The goal was to integrate CAD tools at the same time as
circular string.<br>
It was merged unfinished shortly before feature freeze
(2.12) and thus reverted.<br>
<br>
With some comunities, we will be contracting a developper in
a very short time to start this development again. It will
be merged after 2.14.<br>
It will bring some changes in the behavior (click-click), so
at the end it might be a better idea to wait for 3.0.<br>

<br>
<br>
wasn't there once a vertex editor available along with a CAD
digitizing mode - that was pulled out of version 2.12 because
it wasn't fully mature? <br>
<br>
Is this still not put back into master? I can't seem to find
it. <br>
<br>
Thanks for your information, <br>
