I am trying to set snap mode within QGIS plugin.

So far, I have tried:

QgsSnappingUtils().setSnapToMapMode(QgsSnappingUtils.SnapAdvanced)

and

QgsSnappingUtils().setSnapToMapMode(2)

without success.
QGIS Snapping options (Settings>>Snapping Options...) continue with: Snapping mode = Current layer

Any hint? (Using v 2.14.0)

  • @Joseph No, it does not help... setSnapSettingsForLayer() works fine and I can define snapping tolerance for each layer without problem. I can't "jump" to Advanced mode with python (setSnapToMapMode).

I fund the what you shearch here: QGIS doesn't update some snapping options from Python 

proj = QgsProject.instance()
proj.writeEntry('Digitizing', 'SnappingMode', 'advanced') 
layer = qgis.utils.iface.activeLayer()
proj.setSnapSettingsForLayer(layer.id(), True, 0, 1, 30, True)

I find a solution to that. As it seems to be impossible to access snapping mode from the QgsProject, I try to access it from the QgsInterface. This works for me in python Console:

from PyQt4.QtGui import QDockWidget, QDialog,QComboBox

iface.mainWindow().findChild(QDockWidget, 'Snapping and Digitizing Options').findChild(QDialog).findChild(QComboBox,'mSnapModeComboBox').setCurrentIndex(0)

Change the current Index to fit to your needs: 0 = current layer 1 = all layers 2 = advanced

then you can set your snapping's settings with QgsProject.instance().setSnapSettingsForLayer(layer.id(),...)
