QGIS – Floating Advanced Edit Widget

By David Crowther

QGIS 3.8 Zanzibar was released in August 2019 and the full change log can be viewed here:

Here is a great feature improvement which allows you to use a floating widget window to show the X&Y location and angle as you digitise.

Advanced Editing Floating Widget

In the video below we use the new floating widget window in the Advanced Editing panel to view the X&Y of the cursor location and the angle between the last and next point.

This makes digitising in QGIS 3.8 even more accurate!
