CONVERTING GRID LAYER TO SHAPEFILE #20

Closed bwmoths closed 6 years ago

bwmoths commented 6 years ago

QGIS 3.0 - Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but, trying to convert an OSGR Tool, grid layer to a shapefile using 'Layer - Save As' produces an error as in the attached. Regards Martin 15-05-2018 09-40-48

It looks like you've just typed name of the shapefile you want to create (WBF5kmgrid) straight into the QGIS 'save as' dialog. It's trying to make the shapefile in a folder where it doesn't have permission (don't know what that folder is). In any case, use the browse button with the ellipsis to the right of the box where you typed the name and browse to the folder where you'd like to save the shapefile. Then all will be well.

No worries Martin - that's what this forum is for (as well as tracking bugs, making feature requests and all the rest).
