Hi,
I agree with your response because richard ask for an entire dataset.

I like only add that if the user is likely to retrieve the single feature it could try to do a
GetFeatureInfo (the identify of qgis) on the wms layer asking for "feature" instead of "html"

The wms often return the geometry.

Regards,
Andrea

Finbar,
Short answer is no, unless the data source is also providing WFS. You can  check this by changing the last part  of the URL “…..wms?” to “…..wfs?” and paste add it as a WFS Layer, if there are any WFS layers available they will then appear in the list of Layers.

In the main, most WMS/WFS Providers will have this locked down anyway, with Rights and completely different WMS, WFS links.
Regards,

Richard

Hi,

Is it possible to convert a WMS layer to a vector layer in QGIS? If so… how?

Regards
Finbar
