[Qgis-user] Edit polygon and measure

[Agustin Lobo]

After using the edit tools to
draw candidate footprints for aerial frames,
I have the following suggestions:

1. It would be most useful having the length
of each polygon side displayed while you draw,
as with the measurement tool. And/or, being able to
save as a polygon the figure drawn with the measurement tool.
As I had to draw rectangles of a given size, alternating
both tools was a bit tricky. Another, simpler, solution would
be letting be the measurement figure on the screen while
using the edit tool.
2. New vector layer should take by default the
projection of the project.
3. An option to draw rectangles would be appreciated.

Otherwise, great and simple editing.
