{"name": "Vernier", "package_name": "vernier", "description": "Vector editing toolkit: smart snapping, topology validation, polygon splitting to exact areas, attribute and spatial joins, DXF/DWG and KMZ exchange, autosave backups, and an optional CAD Mode with a typed command bar.", "about": "Vernier is a vector editing toolkit for QGIS.\n\nThe toolbox adds a one-click snapping profile, a topology validator that\noutputs styled error layers, topology-aware Remove Close Vertices,\nFind Duplicate Geometries, polygon splitting to exact target areas,\npolygon centerline (medial axis) extraction, styled DXF/DWG import and DXF\nexport with labels, multi-layer KMZ export with label placemarks, attribute\nand spatial joins, quick symbology templates, versioned autosave backups with\na restore browser, and a live area readout for selected polygons.\n\nCAD Mode (off by default) adds a typed command bar with autocomplete, a dark\ncanvas with a scalable grid, and a live status strip. It follows the workspace\nconventions shared by AutoCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD, GstarCAD, DraftSight and other\nDWG/DXF software, and the import/export tools read and write drawings from any\nof them.\n\nEXTERNAL DEPENDENCIES - all core tools run on a stock QGIS with no extra\npackages. Only these optional tools need more:\n\n* DXF import/export needs the 'ezdxf' Python package. The plugin offers a\none-click, consent-based install into a private folder of the QGIS user\nprofile - never into the QGIS installation, and never without asking. The\nprofile folder is used so the package survives plugin updates. It can also\nbe installed manually with 'python -m pip install ezdxf' from the OSGeo4W\nShell on Windows or your system Python on Linux/macOS.\n* Centerline extraction uses 'shapely', which already ships with QGIS.\n* DWG (not DXF) import needs the free ODA File Converter, installed\nseparately by the user. The plugin only locates it on disk and never\ndownloads it.", "homepage": "https://ryxlabs.dev/qgis", "repository": "https://github.com/ryxlabs/vernier", "tracker": "https://github.com/ryxlabs/vernier/issues", "author": "RyxLabs", "tags": ["vector", "autosave", "editing", "zwcad", "snapping", "split", "parcel", "kml", "dwg", "autocad", "topology", "command line", "centerline", "bricscad", "join", "validation", "dxf", "backup", "export", "spatial join", "import", "digitizing", "kmz", "symbology", "cad"], "downloads": 398, "latest_version": "0.10.0", "versions": [{"version": "0.10.0", "experimental": false, "qgis_min": "3.28.0", "qgis_max": "4.99.0", "downloads": 197, "uploaded_by": "ryxlabs", "upload_datetime": "2026-09-02T05:38:11.622773"}, {"version": "0.9.0", "experimental": false, "qgis_min": "3.28.0", "qgis_max": "4.99.0", "downloads": 201, "uploaded_by": "ryxlabs", "upload_datetime": "2026-08-21T07:49:27.806820"}]}
