<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>I have found some issues testing dimensioning plugin (dimensioning version 0.0.2, from <a title="Plugins by Stefan ZIegler" href="http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/author/Stefan%2520ZIegler/" target="_blank">Stefan ZIegler</a>, with QGIS 2.10.1 Pisa, Win7).<br><br></div><div>Some basic ideas (more testing required...):<br></div><div><br><br></div>A. On QGIS 2.10.1 you should edit .qgis2\python\plugins\dimensioning\tools\utils.py<br></div><br> A.1. Edit line 35:<br><br>original line:<br>QgsMapLayerRegistry().instance().addMapLayer(vl, True)<br><br></div><div>shoud be:<br></div><div>QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().addMapLayer(vl, True)<br><br></div> A.2. Recommended, delete utils.pyc (compiled version of utils.py)<br><br></div> A.3. It is no required to restart QGIS nor the plugin. Please not re-install the plugin, your edit would be lost.<div><div><div><div><br><br></div><div>B. The plugin database .qgis2\python\plugins\dimensioning\sqlite\dimension.sqlite comes pre-filled with some sample data (26 dimension lines). You can load it to browse the content.<br><br>C. All the dimensioning features are common to all your QGIS proyects and layers. A field layer_id should store an integer code for each layer you are interested in dimensioning, and the dimension length, the offset of the help lines, and the length of the help lines.<br><br></div><div>D. Select your feature layer, then you are able to click the points selector button, select two vertex, then click the dimension button and set the four parameters required, click Add and then close. The sqlite database is loaded (if it isn't yet) and a new line added to the layer "Dimension main lines", and in theory two lines added to the layer "Dimension help lines".<br></div><div><br></div><div>E. Some issues:<br><br></div><div>E.1. You have to select a new layer_id for each dimension. I think this could be a bug, caused because the fields in the database are not correctly filled with the proper data. More testing soon...<br><br></div><div>E.2. I can't guess how the offset fields are used by the plugin, unexpected results... No reference system is set to the database nor to its layers.<br><br></div><div>Obviously the plugin needs to be upgraded and improved, but some expertise on python in required...<br><br>Finally, I don't know if it is feasible to manage dimensions (in the sense of CAD features) inside GIS software. Could be useful for very basic tasks; and use a free and open source CAD for more advanced works.<br><br></div><div></div><div>Enrique.</div></div></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2015-08-21 8:31 GMT+02:00 Franco Cazzola <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:F.Cazzola@amga.it" target="_blank">F.Cazzola@amga.it</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
