[Qgis-user] Digitizing points with azimuth and distance

[C Hamilton]

 Paolo,

To add some more information about ShapeTools. What Shape Tools can do is
selected from Vector->Shape Tools->Create Shapes. You will see a dot with a
line icon or line of bearing. What it does is to take a point layer and if
it has distance and bearing or azimuth then it will draw a line to the
second point. It uses geodesic calculations with WGS84 geoid, but I am
planning on adding in other geoids. It wouldn't be difficult for me to add
what you are asking because I have most of the code already there. If it is
of interest then I can add it. Let me know. I should have Shape Tools
working for QGIS 3.0 either today or tomorrow.

Thanks,

Calvin
