[Qgis-user] Advanced Digitizing Panel

[Randal Hale]

I've got a question.

I'm doing some work for a forestry client where I need to digitize a
road 650 feet long. So....Advanced Digitizing Panel to the rescue.

Except......

I'm on 2.14.9 (windows) and 2.18.1 (windows and Linux).

* On 2.14.9 the panels appears with all the correct icons and things -
but it has "Error" at the top.
* On 2.18.1 (Windows and Linux) - I get "CAD Tools are not enabled for
the current map tool".

In both cases I've enabled editing, disabled editing, created a scratch
layer, set a layer in PostGIS, etc - and I can't get it to enable. On
Linux I moved my .qgis2 folder to .qgis2-old to create a new one and
nothing.

Usually by this point I would think bug - but I still half think it's me.

Advice? Angst? Questions? Answers?

Hi,
What's the projection of the data or of the project? I think it might not
be a geograhic one (can't tell which of the issues is related, though).

HTH,

The data and project is in EPSG:2274. At one point I had the data in 2274
and the project in 4326 - same result (I think - not at my computer
currently).

OK - figured it out. I think I was floating back to some long forgotten
ArcGIS reflexes.

Advanced Digitizing panel isn't enabled UNTIL I start adding a feature.
I was attempting to add the feature by using the Advanced Digitizing Panel.

Sorry for the noise on the list - but thanks for the help.
