[Qgis-user] Extending an existing line with the vertex tool - combination with tracing possible?

[Simon Dietmann]

Hi Andreas,
 
as a workaround for your problem I would suppose you draw a new line feature using the tracing function and then merge it with the one you want to extend.
That should work without any problem.

Hi,
 
To my knowledge, when using the vertex tool, you click on the last node and then, you can extend it once.  I think you need to reclick the last node again if you want to add a new point.  I don’t do much vectorizing lately and in the past, used AutoCAD to do it. There must be some other way of doing it. Maybe there is a shortcut or something like the shift key we need to use.  I would check the user manual to see if there is an option under the vertex tool.  I see that lots of new tools have been added lately making QGIS a good contender for tracing.  I guess you could just create a new line and then merge both together.
 
Just my grain of salt…

Hi,
When I am extending an existing line with the vertex tool (by enabling the vertex tool and clicking on the small "plus" symbol), can I then still activate the "tracing" functionality to follow along other features?
If yes, I haven't found out how - any hints would be appreciated a lot!
Thanks,
Andreas
