I am marking forestry boundaries over google satellite tiles. The forest in question has areas of farmland within the outer boundary. One area of farmland has a patch of forestry within it's boundary. I need to see the g sat tiles through rh hatching for forestry and lh hatching for farmland. I have tried making farm and forestry separate layers but where farmland is I get crossed hatching. I think I'm asking if it's possible to draw a polygon with a hole in the middle.

1If your question is about creating/filling hole in polygon look at these answer : https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/308659/creating-polygon-from-hole-in-qgis and https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/29280/how-to-create-a-hole-in-a-polygon-in-qgis – J.R Oct 15 '19 at 09:28

I have looked at the second of the links. On my QGIS 3.4 there were no icons showing to cut a hole. I added the Digitizing Tools Plugin but when I try to use it I get a message "CAD tools are not enabled for the current map tool" and the cursor remains a hand. When I click on the Toggle Editing icon the Digitizing Tools icons will become active or grey out but nothing happens. – Vic Oct 15 '19 at 10:01
