[Qgis-user] Node Tool not working

[Ramon Andiñach]

Hi Jay,

"Could not snap to segment"?
If so, it means that the Node Tool couldn't find anything to work on where you clicked. 

My understanding is that the Node Tool is for editing existing shapes. There should be a button two to the left of the Node Tool called Capture Polygon (or Line or Point depending on the shape file type) and I use that to draw a polygon. 

Hope that's helpful. If not, it might be useful to the others to know which version of QGIS you're using and your OS. 

-ramon.

I used to get some warning message about setting precision, snapping, or something similar.  I  followed the instructions in the message with no success.  I got tired of seeing the message so eventually checked the box 'don't show this message'.  Now nothing happens when I try to draw a polygon and I can't remember exactly what the message said and there doesn't seem to be an option for displaying these types of messages again.
