Class: QgsAdvancedDigitizingDockWidget

class qgis.gui.QgsAdvancedDigitizingDockWidget

Bases: QgsDockWidget

The QgsAdvancedDigitizingDockWidget class is a dockable widget used to handle the CAD tools on top of a selection of map tools. It handles both the UI and the constraints. Constraints are applied by implementing filters called from QgsMapToolAdvancedDigitizing.

class CadConstraint

Bases: sip.wrapper

The CadConstraint is an abstract class for all basic constraints (angle/distance/x/y). It contains all values (locked, value, relative) and pointers to corresponding widgets.

Note

Relative is not mandatory since it is not used for distance.

Parameters

  • lineEdit – associated line edit for constraint value
