Description

Hi,
vertex editor don't hook the polygon boundary

I attach 3 screencast that show this issues:
- the first (vertex_1) show how is difficult (sometime impossible) to hook right a polygon you want to edit;
- I need to edit polygon 65592 but it is impossible to hook it without move a vertex of 65600;
- once the 65600 vertex has been moved it is possible to hook 65592. but 65600 it becomes unchallengeable (as shown in vertex_2);

the 3th one screencast show how easy it is to perform the same selection using QGIS 2

  • Category changed from Editing to Digitising

I struggle to understand the problem even after having watched the screencasts.
Attaching a project with data possibly could help.

the data are already attached

the problem is: How I can edit the vertex of 65592 in I don't touch his vertex?

I hope this hel you

#6 Updated by Giovanni Manghi over 5 years ago

the data are already attached

opening the project asks for a layer that maybe was not attached here (or maybe was attached in a format I cannot open: fbr? 001? 002?).

The layer is in .7z (001 and 002) because too large (about 9MB)

.7z are 7zip files

.7z are 7zip files

the project you attached ask for a layer that is not in that zip file.

However the labels in screencasta are FID of data file I attached

this project ask for correct shapefile

sorry

#12 Updated by Antonio Viscomi over 5 years ago

I try to summarise:
1 - I starded editing_
2 - I move the mouse on polygon 65592 to edit his vertex;
3 - vertex editor was able to select all other feature except 65592 or 28478:
4 - I zoomed in to try to hook the vertex of 65592 but oly 65600 vertex were selectable:
5 - I moved out a vertex of 65600 (reshaping it) then I became able to edit 65592;
6 - after these operations the vertex of 65600 have become unselectable

I hope it's clearer now

I see what you say, but anyway this is "solved" by first selecting (with the selection tool) the polygon you want to edit. This may be very well something that was implemented by design. You should ask in the users/developers mailing lists, once you get a clear answer we can escalate (or close) this ticket.

If it is solved i 3.4 ok I'll try It,
but in older version 3.2.3 an 3.3 this of pre-selection does not works I'd also tried to select the polygon I need to edit (by select tool) but result remain the same

I'm not saying it is solved, I'm saying that if you pre-select the polygon you want to work on it works.
Try 3.4, all the past versions are not relevant anymore.

Hi all,
I confirm this ticket can be closed because selection by selection tool, now (in 3.4) make vertex selection able to select vertex

Many thanks

even if the qgis 2.x mode, ie clicking on the polygon (automatically select vertex) without having to select it in advance, I think was more functional and intuitive

I can't say I don't agree, but please raise your concerns to a wider audience, using the users/developers mailing lists.

I opened a discussion we'll see
