Hello Nathan,<br><br>
Right, the option may be OK, just make it prominent.<br><br>
Anything to avoid the mapset nightmare is welcome. That was another
time waster and I never did figure it out, especially the Group
option. One of the help screens showed a diagram of the umpteen
levels of folders but it still seems like an arduous process. I had
hoped that one could define a mapset to include a folder that already had
files in it, but it seemed that one had to create empty folders and then
import all the map files. Give me strength, there's only so many
hours in the day!<br><br>

Yeah there is on going talk about what we can do here. Maybe even
killing the simplified interface, not sure yet. <br><br>
The progressing toolbox should do what you need and you won't have to
worry about map sets and all that. <br><br>

<dd>Hi Nathan,<br><br>
<dd>        Now we are getting somewhere! I would just suggest
that this advanced/simple option be made more prominent, probably at the
top. I thought it was just a secondary title and never even saw the
drop-down arrow. Make it a radio button or something obvious.<br><br>
<dd>Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â And I think I see what Alex Mandel was referring to
about the raster image. By pretending to Georeference the raster image,
one will build a GCP file automatically. At least, I think that was the
intent.<br><br>
<dd>Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Anyway, thanks for this, I may actually get somewhere
now. This certainly beats jumping through all the hoops to set up a
GRASS session.<br><br>
<dd>Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Thanks again,
Cheers . . . . . . . . Spring Harrison<br><br>

<dd>        So what accounts for the difference? Some
installation quirk no doubt. I did select GRASS as an installation
option. In 2.8.3 it was listed under plug-ins, but under 2.10.1 is no
longer there. But it was installed as a standalone.<br><br>
<dd>Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Consistency does not seem to be a strong

<dd>Hi
<dd>I did this recently using the GRASS command v.transform.pointsfile
from the Processing Toolbox in QGIS. No need to actually go into GRASS
and create mapsets.
<dd>This worked really well for me for unreferenced DXFs. If you need any
more info let me know.

<dd>Ok, thanks. I'm installing QGIS on W7 yet again, trying to achieve
better functionality. That is a challenge in itself, prone to wrong
turns. Hopefully the VectorGeoref will then work.
