[Qgis-user] Measuring line length while drawing

[M.E.Dodd]

I second this as a good idea as I have often wanted to draw lines of a predetermined length.  And even have tools like in drawing packages where you can draw a line or other shape of set size and be able to duplicate and move around and rotate to the location you want.  Useful for designing field experiments, cities etc.

I guess that it may be like digitising lines of specified length and our cursor will be indicating length of segment during digitization, as being done in Measure tool presently. Will be useful in digitising lines of predefined lengths.
