Plain geometry editor for QGIS 3.0?


In QGIS 2.18, I had been using the plugin "Plain Geometry Editor" to view, copy and paste the WKT geometry of features (as a solution to this question). However, this plugin is not available for QGIS 3.0. Is there any new core functionality within 3.0 that will do the same thing? or perhaps another plugin? ("GetWKT" allows me to view and copy, but not paste, the WKT data.)



Answer



In QGIS 3 you can use (like in earlier versions) the copy&paste of the objects in the attribute table. When you paste them you get the WKT and also the other attribute values. If it is not working the option is probably not set in the options (submenu datasources).


That means you have to paste it into another program an copy only the WKT from there if you don´t need more. Spreadsheet software like Calc do automatically recognize the delimiter of the copied data. Therefore you get an own column only for WKT.
