QGIS plugins from GeoDrafter
QGIS 4 moved from Qt5 to Qt6, and many plugins people relied on in QGIS 3 have not been updated. GeoDrafter's plugins are written for QGIS 4 from the start and also run on QGIS 3.40 LTR. They are free, open source (GPL), collect no telemetry and are made by Henrik Rosenskjold, a GIS consultant in Denmark. Pro Trace started as a tracing tool he wrote for his own digitizing work.
- GeoDrafter Pro TraceTrace along every visible line and polygon layer without setting up snapping first.
- GeoDrafter MeasureMeasure distance, area and true geodesic radius circles, and keep the results as map layers.
Coming next
GeoDrafter Coordinate Capture, a QGIS 4 version of the popular Coordinate Capture plugin with DMS, UTM and MGRS, is next. The port has first been offered to the plugin's original author, so it will be released here a little later.
Installing a plugin in QGIS
Plugins from the official QGIS catalogue are installed from inside QGIS: open Plugins ▸ Manage and Install Plugins, search for the plugin's name and click Install Plugin. Each plugin's page says whether it is already in the catalogue.
