2537 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | More variants for converting element types could be use... | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
I don’t actually have any use for this idea currently, but am just posting it here to document it for consideration.
Basically, it occurred to me at least a few more useful conversions between shapes besides the existing ones could be useful.
For example:
Converting lines into axially aligned rectangles of a specified “radius” or “diameter” (with an option to delete or keep the original line geometry).
An option for the above (lines –> rectangles) that causes the intersections between the resulting rectangles to be automatically removed, like a kind of “automatic/magic wall creation tool” based on laying down lines instead of rectangles and then converting via this tool.
Converting circles/ellipses and rectangles back and forth between each other via their bounding volumes. It seems reasonably likely that people will sometimes want to convert circular design elements into rectangular ones and vice versa (e.g. deciding a rectangular column makes more sense than a cylindrical one and vice versa).
Converting any arbitrary selection into a corresponding bounding circle (not rectangle, which already exists) of sufficient size to enclose all points in the selection.
Basically, QCAD already has tools for converting shapes with operations that are a natural fit for the existing geometry, but has less tools for converting to entirely different geometry, but such uses could actually still be very useful potentially!
It seems likely to be common enough as a use case to merit inclusion, rather than just using scripting.
I don’t have any pressing need for these and I know that I could script them to create them if I really wanted to.
These are relatively minor ideas. I’m just putting this out here as more ideas for making this already wonderful software even better. :)

2021 | QCAD (main) | Performance Issue | Very Low | Cannot work with big dwg files | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Openning a big file or doing any action in it, takes minutes to load. Even dragging the scrollbar slightly left or right, takes mintues to redraw the canvas again, which makes QCAD un-usable for professional use. Is there a way to make QCAD usable, after loading completed: - Like suppressing edit until user says so, - or taking snapshots of rendered canvases to another file and use it, as windows uses thumb.db ( for negative latency :P )
PS: I wish I could help a bit, but my hand are tied. I am just a java freak, I am opt to any idea of porting it to java, if she is still alive.

1323 | QCAD (main) | Suggestion | Low | Improve command line support in QCAD | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Hi,
As a typical command line draftsman (still using acad10 for dos, since microsoft doesn’t supoort Win NT anymore), I noticed a severe lack on command line acces in QCAD.
For example I find the icon and pixel selecting methods within qcad very confusing and rude.
With the normal cad Select command I can select exactly what en how I want it.
I intend not to be rude, but I find my drawing screen littered all over with all kind of very specialist menu’s, tools and options. Sorry, I just want to make a drawing at the natural intuitive way, as with a pencil. So I use command line Commands, such as Move, Copy, Change, Select, a.s.o. For a ‘Command scripting’ user (-batching is a different tool!-), it seems to me logical these basic commands should be accessable.

1368 | QCAD (main) | Suggestion | Low | Context Menu - suggestions | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
I love using the context menu, speeding up my workflow indeed.
I would like to suggest that we have the added option to show only icons if desired and also that maybe an option to save and show commonly used tools!
Maybe the context menu could be configurable to show two columns, one for the normal last used tools and the othjer one for the user saved tools?
What do you think?

Task Description
When selecting multiple blocks that contain the same attribute names, attribute properties appear with the values of the last selected block instead of “various”. I do not know if this is a “bug” or developer option, but “various” would be better in my opinion.

Module mise à plat d’un cone
Bonjour,
Serait il possible dans un futur d’ajouter un module de mise en plan de cone.
Une petite fenêtre sur lequel on donne par exemple : 1- Ø haut 2- angle de coupe du haut 3- hauteur du cône 4- Ø bas 5- angle du bas 6- épaisseur matière
Ce qui permettrai de sortir une mise en plan a plat de la forme

1915 | QCAD (main) | Suggestion | Low | Viewport does not rotate view-port when changed in pape... | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
To reproduce
1. Select a new view-port in model-space 2. Select the appropriate paper-space 3. When the paper space opens change the angle of the viewport.
Actual
The object in the viewport changes but the viewport itself remains unchanged
Expected
That both the view-port and the object changes angle as the angle is updated
Motivation
If you abort the placement (but keep the angle) and go back to model-space and then redo the operation the view-port is rotated along the angle. It seems that the viewport only picks up the initial angle once the paper-space is open and ignores any changes thereafter
Workaround
1. Select the view-port per normal in model-space 2. Open the paper-space and set the wanted angle but do not place the view-port in paper space 3. Abort the placement on paper-space and redo the whole operation
Once the paper space is opened again the view-port will have the chosen angle

Task Description
Building with the bundled version, 1.8.5, works fine.
When I try to build using the system version, which for Mageia Cauldron is 1.9.3, the build fails.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kekePower/mmbl/master/qcad/2019/12/11/20%3A13%3A48/log.qcad
Here is the current spec file for version 3.23.0.4. https://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/qcad/current/SPECS/qcad.spec?revision=1465894&view=markup
It looks like qcad is incompatible with versions above 1.8.5.
Are there plans to port to the new version?
Thanks in advance.

Text and/or DIM used in blocks will be mirrored if inserted with a vertical/horizontal flip option.
Text/DIM which was successfully used in previos QCAD versions are now mirrored if they are loaded in the current version.

Task Description
As it can be seen in the attached image, QCAD toolbars may dock to a position slightly outside the visible area of the screen. After having docked there, I have not been able to move them any more. Their current position is just in the middle of the screen.
The position of the toolbars remains the same after the deinstallation of QCAD, shutting down, restarting the computer and reinstalling QCAD. I kindly ask for help.
Kind regards Reinhard

2536 | QCAD (main) | Suggestion | Low | The little circle that shows the error location when us... | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
I was having some problems getting some shapes to fill with a solid fill and was frustrated by the awkward numeric coordinate it was giving me for where the error (the disconnected shape points) were, until I fortunately noticed that a tiny pale circle appears around the point where the error is for about just 1 second.
This is a very helpful error indicator circle but is far too easy to miss.
Perhaps making it last longer (or letting the user control that) would be beneficial.
I also wonder if showing multiple such circles (when they exist, as they did in the piece I was working on) at the same time or having that as a UI option would be good.
Anyway, goodnight all!
