This would probably need a revamp of the tool but it would be more in line with how you do current edits using standard qgis tools, also this would reduce clicking.

e.g. Select Circular Arc Creation tool (just one icon), you select 3 points then right click to finish, tools keeps in that mode until you select another one.

This would speed up digitizing efforts.

Capture orthogonal lines/polygons function works incorrect. In polygonal layer it draws lines and in line layer it draws points (vertexes). When you trying to complete object creation the error appears.

CadTools 0.6.1

In process creating new features (polyline/polygonal) with "Capture Vertical/Horizontal Lines/Polygons" or "Capture Orthogonal Lines/Polygons" tools of CadTools plugin and disabled QGIS option "Suppress attributes pop-up windows after each created feature" (Settings->Options->Digitizing-Feature creation) pop-up window not showing.

proposals:

1. instead of using a QMessageBox to indicate e.g. too few lines selected use iface.messageBar (with duration), so user needs not click on OK before being able to continue
2. or (better) activate/deactivate tools according to a proper selection condition
3. simplify the tool bar by removing redundancy, try to merge all select something into one tool (i.e. seperate tools for line, point, vertex). Proposal 2 needs to be in place for this. E.g. select with left click, deselect with right click and keep the order in which the elements were selected. Thus if two elements are needed by a tool the last two will be used for processing, no matter if more have been selected.

Steps to reproduce
It is not alway reproducable, but when digitizing and trying to use the measurement tool, it comes up with this error.

If I have an editable layer before turning on the CADTools plugin, the tool Modify circular arc and the following four tools are inactive. Even if I stop editing and start editing on the same layer, the tools remain inactive, I have to start editing on an other layer to activate these tools.

Installed the plugin manually (offlinepc, Windows 7) under:

Hi,

I just recently came across the problem with latest QGIS. When I create parallel line

CadLayer is not created.

I have two machines with QGIS 2.8.3 LTS and CadTools 0.6.3 with big slows down when enabling/disabling editing or saving changes with the plugin enabled. Usually that happens after 30-60 minutos after de file is open. It doesn't matter if It is a database connection (MSSQL) or shapefile/memory layer.

Currently to be able to use the tool one has to have a point layer before hand, this leads to double digitizing, you have to first create the points that define the arc in a point layer and later select them using the tool. I think it would be better if the tool could accept snapping points from other layers (lines, points, polygons) but also on screen digitizing, that is clic on point to define it. This is particularly useful when you are tracing imagery.

As it currently stands there is a lot of duplicated effort towards creating arcs and really time consuming once you need to do more than 2 or 3 arcs

Hi,
while trying to create point at intersection of two segment, selecting the first tool and then clicking on the line does nothing. The line doesn't become red as it does with QGIS2.4 (tried also this day). And after having clicked on the two lines (though nothing is shown as selected), when you try to create the point, got message "Not enough line segments selected", confirming that no line has been selected.
Tried arc intersection with success on same layer...

Hello
Recently I have installed qgis version 2.8.1 successfully. I have noticed that the plugin CadTools doesn't work in this version. Do you have the same experience? How can this be solved?

We tested QGIS 2.5.0-42 with CadTools due to some performance issues (network wise) of older QGIS versions. Performance issues are gone, yet CadTools throws this exception when trying to add a point based on a line segment.
Is this an issue concerning the recent QGIS API or will this be gone in the official 2.6 release?

Thank you.

I believe the plugin uses memory layers to do the work, I think this is problematic since memory layers are really not saved to disk and a qgis crash means loosing whatever you have worked on. An option would be to be saving to file every x amount of time but I think overall the best solution would be for the plugin to edit the layer you want the data you are working on to be written.

Data saved from views into tables are not refreshed in the indexing for features to snap and then not snappable.

How can we trigger this indexing could maybe help us solving this issue?

Hello. Do you plan to release this wonderful plugin for GIS3? Maybe there are some other tools with similar functions? In particular, there is very miss of Arc intersection.
