[Qgis-user] move vertex to specified coordinates?

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Matt,

I don't know why it fails for you, but in my projects snapping works 
perfectly fine as expected and similar to all other GIS software. I can 
select one or more snap layers, tolerances and it works fine. I can also 
select whether you want to snap to vertices or segments.

Maybe you set insufficient snap tolerances? You have to set them in map 
units, as far as I remember.
