[Qgis-user] cut several segments into a polygon

[Bernhard Ströbl]

Hi Jake,

I had a plugin in preparation that amongst others does exactly what you 
want: within an editing session cut out from polygons in editable theme 
with selected polygons from another theme.
The plugin is called DigitizingTools and is planned to contain more 
tools in the future. I uploaded it to the plugin repository just now, 
feel free to give it a try and report any problems.
It is marked as experimental (because it is not well tested right now) 
and only works with current master (aka QGIS 2).
