<p>Hi Grant,</p>
<p>As often - there are several ways to achieve to create/edit features with exact coordinates.</p>
<p>* The add as CSV file way that others already mentioned</p>
<p>* The NumericalDigitize plugin</p>
<p>* The CAD-Tools - allow you to construct features on exact coordinates and distances/angles (not sure exactly with which version whis was introduced - maybe 2.8 or 2.10)</p>
<p>* The Plain Geometry Editor plugin (you need to first add an approximate point and then set the exact coordinates)</p>
<p>* The vertex editor panel (starting from 2.12 --> requires you to first set an approximate point and then edit the values to the exact coordinates in a second step - you need the node tool to see the vertex editor panel)</p>
<p>The first two options are probably easiest to use - but the three other may be useful to work with exact coordinates in existing layers where you need to modify specific nodes of polygon or line features. For a point geometry they may be too complicated to use.</p>
