[Qgis-user] Starting QGIS

[Eliana Acosta Valero]

Thanks....!!

I've found the plugin and I'm trying to work with this, but what  I exactly have to do is to construct polygons with lines, and the way to create those lines is with specific lengths and circles intersections... I don't know if you have ever work with "Distance Tool" of ArcGIS. There, I have two lines and I can close the polygon finding the intersection between two circles of an specific radio, something like this:

_________
|                    '
|
|                  10 mts
|                    '
|-    6 mts  -x

Where,  "x" represents the point where a distance of 10 mts and 6 mts intersects...

Do you know if QGIS has some plugin who can do something like that?....

I really appreciate your help!

Eliana.

The plugin has the bit misleading name "Improved polygon capturing" cause it also handles lines beside polygons.
It adds a button and a field for the specific lenght to the digitizing toolbar.
In editing mode of the layer, instead of the normal "add feature" button, click the button which has the tooltip "Capture Line with preset Edge Lenght" and set the desired length in the box. Click in the map to start drawing and move the mouse for setting the direction of the new line.  
Right click to finish the line.
