[Qgis-user] inserting a new place or feature

[Christine]

Hi Hamish,
the simpliest way to find out the the coordinates of a position is to place
the cursor on the desired position and then read the coordinates in the line
below the map window (titled 'coordinate').

If you insert a new place with the insert function, you don't add it only to
the attribute table but to the underlying data layer. the coordinates are
added automatically and saved with the changes. You can also write them to
new attributes and make them visable in the attribute table.

Regards, Christine
