I tried to draw polygons in QGIS 1.7.0 and somehow I can't find or failed to find the "Snapping" option.
I'm used to ArcGIS 10.0 where you have some snapping options, like placing points of polygons at points/edges/shapes/etc., see image below.
Is this also possible with QGIS? And if yes, how to activate it?
I've tried to figure out all the editing options, but couldn't find any snapping or similar.
The select tool has a "Select by Rectangle" option. (There are also freehand/polygon options if that would be more appropriate.)
The node tool is for digitizing. I don't think that's what you want to do here.
Then, right-click on the layer in layer list and use "Save selection as ...". This will create a new file with the features you selected. (You can chose from many different formats.) Afterwards, load the file into the same old or a new project.
If I understood you correctly, you have to move the selection anchor first:

In
Settings / Options / Digitizing, you can define the distance radius in pixel or map units to snap to other points.And in
Settings / Snapping optionsyou can choose which layers can be used for snapping.In QGIS 3.12, find this under
Project > Snapping optionsand a new (possibly docked) window "Snapping and Digitizing Options" will appear (in my case, under the Layers panel).The only thing that does not work is snapping to the points of a line or polygon you are just creating.
