[Qgis-user] Buffer by Attribute Issue

[Peter Devanney]

Example point in the project CRS ( EPSG:3857) -11923424,5461258

I have had the buffer problem with a GCS like but just usually convert to a
UTM to do analysis.
I was using a pseudo mercator here because the web maps are in that CRS and
don't distort as a base map for a quick view of some data. Buffer works
with a fixed distance specified in the Buffer dialog; but not when I try to
use an attribute from the table as a buffer distance variable.

thanks
Peter
