<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m after your suggestions for the best work flow for adding spatial data to existing tabular data.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Say we have a tabular list of playground equipment – I want to associate a point object with each row in the list – so I end up with spatial and attribute data in the one table.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I used to do this in MapInfo, you could open a table of purely tabular data, select a row in the attribute table, adding a point in the map window would create a map object for the selected row (rather than adding a whole new row to the
table). I don’t think I can do it like that with QGIS – am I right in thinking if there is no geometry for a row it will be excluded from the attribute table?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How do people do this in QGIS?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Martin.<o:p></o:p></p>
