[Qgis-user] Export polygon coordinates qgis

[Tomasz Bigaj]

Hi Lester,

 

Thanks, it works but… I still get XY coordinates, not lat/long. The question i show to convert from XY to lat/long ?

 

Regards – Tomasz

Hi Tomasz,

This is easy to do.

Go into edit mode and select the feature(s) you want (highlighted yellow usually). Open the attribute table for the polygon shapefile and click "copy slected rows to clipboard" (4th icon from the right on the toolbar).

Copy this into a text editor and you get something like this:

wkt_geom    id
POLYGON((-2.72439024390243922 1.60975609756097571,-2.72439024390243922 1.95121951219512213,-1.77073170731707341 2.02926829268292686,-1.57073170731707323 1.42926829268292699,-2.21951219512195141 1.06341463414634152,-2.72439024390243922 1.60975609756097571))    1

Just edit this file to leave the X, Y coordinates and away you go! Coordinate pairs are separated by commas.

Cheers

Lester

Hello,

 

I need to export polygon coordinates from shp  to text file.

I can mark an object on map and use “Ctrl+C” but only x y coordinates are copied.

How can I recalculate X Y coordinates to get lat/long geographical coordinates? I’d prefer to do it in Excel, because have a lot of extracted X Y data.
