Is it possible to place a point at a coordinate in QGIS?


Is it possible to place a point at a coordinate in qgis?


I have a map, using irish grid reference and wish to place a point at an exact 6 digit coordinate. Is it possible to do it.


Previous to this i have placed the point roughly and then moved it whilst zoomed to the exact location, surely there is an easier way.




Answer



Yes you can place a point at exact coordinates. There are a couple of ways you can do this. One is interactively by digitizing a point and then, while still in edit mode select the "Numerical Vertex Edit" button at the right hand end of the edit toolbar. You highlight a point and then type in the location in the popup box.


The other way, if you have several points is to make a CSV file in Notepad (say) and import that using the "Add Delimited Text Layer" button.
