[Qgis-user] Align points to lines

[Graham Walker]

Hi Tyler, not exactly what you need, but I use a combination of the
following to snap a point shp to a line shp.

v .to.points set at 0.5m distances on line layer (obviously the lower the
more accurate)

Distance to nearest hub from original point to newly created point,output
as line

Join attributes by location using v.to.points layer as target and nearest
hub layer as join vector layer. Wet predicate to touches. Take attributes
of first located feature and only keep matching records.

You could probably query to find the closest line from each point once you
have run distance from hub.

Hope that's of some use.

Cheers
Graham
