Precise digitizing

Feature description

Good afternoon ! It would be GREAT if in QGIS was implemented a feature that would allow to copy the geometry resulted from using the Measurement Tool and then to paste it in a polygon layer, as I suggest in the file attached. This new feature would allow very precise digitising.

Have a good day !

Just use advanced digitizing https://docs.qgis.org/3.28/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_vector/editing_geometry_attributes.html#the-advanced-digitizing-panel

Advanced digitizing does not allow to create irregular polygons of a given area.

At present you could enable labels for your layer being digitised that showed the area of the polygons being drawn using the $area expression. This isn't quite as live as the measuring tool dialog as it is only updated once a polygon is drawn or a vertex is moved, but gets you most of the way there.

An alternative feature request would be for the measurement window to stay open during the use of the digitising tools to report the area as a polygon is being drawn (it closes currently), or for the advanced digitising panel to report the area of the polygon being digitised.

Thanks for your explanation. I used the label ling method You described, but, as you said, it resolves only partially the issue.

I don't understand why the advanced digitising panel doesn't show the area of the polygon being edited/created, taking into consideration that in QFIELD, the measurement tool shows the area of the polygon while it is being created. I suppose that the same algorithm could be implemented in QGIS. Have a nice day !

It is GREAT that, with the Lima version, it is possible to copy the coordinates of a line created with the Measurement Tool. It would be really useful that the same option will be, in future versions, available for area (polygons). I wish you all the best.
