<div dir="ltr">Richard;<div>I was hoping to take advantabe of the offline editing functions in QGIS to allow multi user editing. I have done some testing and discovered that the function can allow multiple user edits in an sqlite database as long as users do not edit the same feature.

Tyler,<br>
As a Drafting Tech, who moved to GIS and QGIS, might I suggest you
let the Tech work in the medium of choice, as long as they utilise
Layers and save the data in dxf format, QGIS can easily handle and
convert dxf into any format you need on the GIS side and back to dxf
also.<br>
I actively work in both environments, and utilise the strengths of
each to complement the other.<br>
Only issues I have faced is in relation to Polygons (Closed
Polylines AutoCAD) If you are just working on lines and points you
should have no problems!<br>

<div>I discovered some of what you said last night, I also
installed 3 or 4 other CAD like tools adons as well as Survey
Calculator. Last AutoCAD training I had was 2008 and I never
used it in a production environment but I still understand
some of the concepts. The person I am trying to set this up
for is a drafting tech familiar with AutoCAD so this might
work well for him.</div>
<div>Anyway I will try your direction distance and distance
along path work flows and see what happens.</div>

if you know autocad you can use QAD plugin.<br>
Direction Distance tool can be emulate drawing a
construction line from a known point (QAD has its own osnap
modes) to a point indicated by the @len>angle syntax<br>
Distance along Path tool can be emulated by the Progressive
distance osnap mode<br>
Distance distance tool can be emulated drawing two
conctruction circles and then using the intersection osnap
mode.<br>
If you need more tools please explain what the tool has to
do and I will happy to find a solution in QAD environment
(if it exists !)<br>
bye<br>

Hi;<br>
I am looking for tools that will allow me to add
points based on<br>
measurements from other features, or lines based on
deflection from either<br>
another line or segment and distance. I installed a
whole bunch of tools<br>
that are "CAD" like addons I have been exploring (too
many to list) but I<br>
have not yet found the functions I am looking for.<br>
If anyone is familiar with Esri I am looking for QGIS
counterparts to;<br>
Direction Distance, Distance along Path, Distance
Distance, etc... for<br>
adding new features (mostly points and Lines) to our
GIS Data.<br>
Thanks for any ideas;<br>
Tyler<br>
