create and edit shape-files in QGIS

In this video I'll show you how to create point-, polyline and polygon-shapefiles in QGIS. We will also cover merging and splitting of shapefiles as well as creating island-polygons.
Attention: the video is broken after 10:40. I'll come up with a new recording shortly!

[@MrTalifa]

thank you very much

[@RiccardoKlinger]

you are right. seems like the whole file is also corrupted on my recording. I'll record a new one! sorry for the inconvenience.

[@naveenchoudam8842]

Thank You. Is it possible to capture line & Polygon features in single shape file ?

[@heathbell9364]

Thank you Riccardo, you are doing a splendid job. Was there ever any update on the sound problem after 10:40? I would really like to hear the rest of this tutorial.

[@RiccardoKlinger]

Hi Heath, thanks for this kind words check my editing tutorials here: creating and editing polyline shapefiles in QGIS and here: creating and editing point feature data in qgis

I'm using Qgis version 2.0.1. When I try to create a new polygon shapefile the imagem that is formed is not transparent like in the video (in version 1.7.4). Do you know how can I fix it?

[@EddieYeti66]

also...I try to create an alias in my shapefile for lone field names and sometimes it will save and sometimes it won't. then sometimes it appears to save the alias field name but when I remove the shapefile and call it back in there are not there. what gives? this is very frustrating. Great program if I can get this one thing to work.

[@RiccardoKlinger]

To me the sound is fine... Do you have an example?

[@AbdullahSalimalig]

Good One..sound is missing after after a while. please upload a new one.

helo sir, i am Tenzin from Sherubtse college, Bhutan. I am a beginner in the usage of Arc GIS software and for now i am learning about creating a shape file. however i have some doubt regarding the use of shape file. Why do we create a shape file, sir?

[@EddieYeti66]

sound is gone after 10:40. other than that it was very useful. Please update.

[@thepretzl]

[@callamjad80]
