Project: QGIS

Version: 2.14.0

Feature: Trace digitising tool

The new trace digitising tool is an advanced digitising tool that allows you to digitise features in one layer by tracing features in another layer.

The trace tool:

  • uses Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm to find traceable routes
  • can trace routes over multiple distinct features
  • can be used with Advanced Digitising tools (e.g. reshaping)
  • can be enabled and disabled by pressing T on your keyboard while digitising
  • is fast and easy to use
