[Qgis-user] clip still not working on osm shape

[Reginald Carlier]

Hi,

I found that the problem was the conversion of the CRS. When I select the shape of the town (Lambert 72) in QGIS Browser and choose WGS 84 as CRS the extent is still in Lambert coordinates. I tried the same in ArcMap and there I got the same result. Then I tried a function in the toolbox under Data Management > Projections and Transformations > Project where you can choose the CRS and also the transformation algorithm. Then the shape of the town was shown in the right spot. I wonder if there is such a tool in QGIS.

Hi,
Are you running the latest Qgis 2.16? If so, vector tool should be in the processing toolbox and not in the vector menu.  I have only worked one day with 2.16 but it was long enough to see that it needed a complete removal of all previous versions as the menu had a mixe of the old and the new version.  After that, vector tools disappeared from the vector menu and reappeared in the new processing menu.  I had read about this in a French blog so I was expecting it.  Could this be the cause of your problem?

If not, make sure both layers are in the same CRS (like you did) but that they also align properly when the "CRS on the fly" is not activated.  Try loading only those two layers.  You could test to see if it's the osm file format that is giving you problems by testing the two .shp file.

Hi Nicolas,

I changed the CRS of the shapefiles so they match (EPSG 4326).
It takes about 30 seconds before the algorithm (Vector > Geoprocessing > Clippen) finisches.
Then it loads the resulting shapefile in QGIS but the attributetable is empty and the resulting shp is 1 kB.
It looks as the Clip function doesn’t work.
