[Qgis-user] cut several segments into a polygon

[Jake Maier]

Hi Bernhard, 
Thanks for your help, but I'm still on 1.8 and frankly I can't find the
place to download 2.0 for windows. I googled it several times, trying to
find the nightlies, but I seem to get old, slow, and feeble. I so far was
not able to get 2.0 for windows 7.
Jake

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).
