 884 QCAD (main)Feature RequestLow Tool for copying/pasting selected entities along a path Closed
100%
Task Description

Not sure how complicated this one might be to develop/implement ?

But a tool for copying/pasting entities along a given path would be great. In the attached snapshot you can see what I am trying to acheive - to copy/paste the brick along a wall contour. A dedicated tool for doing something like this would be great...sure I can do it with the tools provided in QCAD already but it sure would make life so much easier if there was a tool specific for this kind of thing.
I am actually working on some ‘real’work projects with these requirements and it does take a bit of time to get correct!

Or maybe an additional Points tool option to plant points along a curve would be good!

0%
1 Task Description

Eine oft Hilfreiche Zeit/Klick sparende Erweiterung wäre eine “Total” Option bei dem “Lengthen” Tool.

Aktuell ist es mit dieser Funktion möglich ein Element zu verlängern oder zu verkürzen um den Amount X. Der Referenzpunkt (von welchem Ende) kann bestimmt werden.

Die Erweiterung die ich mir wünschen würde wäre auch ein “Total” um ein Element auf eine bestimmte Länge zu bringen ohne einen Taschenrechner benutzen zu müssen. Referenz (welches Ende oder Mitte) sollte (muss) dafür wählbar sein.

Die Funktion “Property editor” stellt bereits über die Geometry Eigenschaften die Möglichkeit zur Verfügung einen “Total” Wert zu manipulieren. Leider bin ich aber hierbei nicht in der Lage zu bestimmen welcher Element Referenzpunkt dafür benutzt werden soll. Könnte ich die Referenz wählen (welches Ende oder Mitte) wäre auch dies dann durchaus akzeptabel ;-)

2091QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowToggle redrawing of hatches Assigned
0%
2 Task Description

Because modifying hatches have lag issues I’d like to propose a toggle that turns of the redrawing/rendering of the hatch. Especially while modifying the hatch.

The hatches always have a boundary that can be worked with right? So when we move or stretch the hatch we can still see the boundary and its handles to perform all the actions.

This could be a new view mode that turns of the view of the interior/pattern of the hatch but leave the boundary of the hatch.
Or the draft mode can be extended to include simplified hatches while modifying.

Hi Andrew

In QcadCAM when using the new Themes or User Created Themes the Layer and Block Tabs Appear to be reversed in East and West Positions.
I have discussed this with forum user PeteVick and he cannot reproduce this behavior in Qcad Pro... he suggested submitting this bug report.
I didn’t notice this until he pointed it out and don’t expect it to be high on your list of things to do..

‘Edit Block In-place (BB)’ is never used in this drawing.
There was never a Block in this file.
I might have switched focus.

Re-installed QCAD a dozen times meanwhile.
Wiped all what remained of QCAD twice.
Cleaned up the windows registry twice.
Lastly left out all kinds of my custom scripts.
Simply a bare install with the msi file.

How to replicate:
- Start QCAD in normal mode
- Load included file
- Set App.Prefs .. Startup .. Restore open files
- Close QCAD
- Start QCAD in debugger mode
(-rescan -enable-script-debugger -always-load-scripts)

Boot fails.
Every successive trial.

When booting in normal mode I see the BB options toolbar blink shortly.

3 Screengrabs in DebuggerModeError.zip in the same topic.
The blink I can’t catch.

I can Boot with no file to retore on open in debugger mode and load the file.
I have several of those files, all were open that day at 2:56 am

0%
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!

 627 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow Text: Falsche Info beim editieren der Formatierung ... Closed
100%
Task Description

Grundsätzlich finde ich die Optionsauswahl beim erstellen oder editieren eines Textes im “Text Option Window” als sehr Komfortable.

Trotzdem gibt es hier für mich noch einige Ungereimtheiten die ich als Bug bezeichnen würde da es untypische Informationen liefert und verwirrt.

QCad, English, XP, Text Optionen Window:
Im linken Bereich gibt es den sogenannten “Main Font”. Dieser kann aber nicht unter Application/Drawing preferences vorgegeben werden, richtig? Hier würde ich mir wünschen das ich diesen vorgeben kann und es somit ein “Default Font” wäre. Für Bemaßungen benutze ich z.B. eine Vorgabe von 0.137795276 inch (= Deutsche DIN 3.5mm für Texthöhen) und bin Heilfroh das ich dies als Default vorgeben kann ;)

Im rechten Bereich des Text Options Windows kann ich im “Rich Text” Tab den Text formatieren - grundsätzlich eine schöne Sache.
Leider verwirrt mich dieses Fenster immer wieder:
Fallbeispiel:
Text erstellt, individuell formatiert(Textfonts, Höhe, Farbe), positioniert in der aktuelle Zeichnung.
Doppelklicke ich den Text um ihn zu editieren poppt das Optionsfenster auf und der Text ist markiert. Im Text font wird mir gesagt das es der Text Arial ist mit einer Höhe von 1 und schwarz. Da ich aber NICHT Arial verwendet habe und die Texthöhen unterschiedlich sind und alles in rot ist dies eine falsche Information.
Hier hätte ich erwartet: Font = *VARIES*, Höhe = *VARIES*, Farbe = *VARIES*. Klicke ich dann mit der Maus in den Text (Markierung verschwindet, Cursor blinkt im Text) habe ich immer noch die selbe Info - erst ein zweiter Klick spuckt dann die richtige Info aus.

Zurück zum Main Font: Wie nutze ich diesen wenn ich bereits andere Formatierungen verwendet habe - neu eingeben? Gutes Gedächtnis vorausgesetzt ;-) Spaß bei Seite: Sollte dies nicht eine Vorgabe sein die “auf Knopfdruck” verwendet werden kann?

Und da ich neugierig bin .... wofür ist die Option “Simple Text”?

How to reproduce the issue:

  3. save and reopen the file
  4. the dimension shows correctly the string but its label only the normal text, for example: t

Note that if the button “Use auto measurement” (next to the “label” field) is pressed, the real measurement is showed along with the sub/super script, which now can’t be removed.

 "ReferenceError: Can't find variable: RTextBasedData" 
Warning:  "<anonymous>()@/tmp/qcad/scripts/Draw/Text/TextDialog/TextDialog.js:838"          

The Tool options toolbar does appear and it can be interacted with. The Text tool does not appear at all (and text input in the Toolbar can not be placed either).

In ab3e02, the Text tool works as usual.

Hope I got it right this time – several clean builds have been made to double-check results.

Original topic: “ugly text strings in a draught, after Visio 2003 AutoCAD file conversion”

Hello!

I have a Visio2003 mnemonic, and I tried to convert it to AutoCad file format (interchange and other), but this conversion makes ugly any text string in a result draught, like this (look at the attached QCAD.png):

 "\fArial|b0|i1|;Насос шнековый (для откачки осадка)"
 "\fArial|b0|i1|;сборный" 
 ... and so on.

I tried to open result draught in a DraftSight - it works with strings fine, there are no ugly string on the screen.
If I try to open CAD files created by DraftSight in QCAD 3.4.6 - I have an ugly text strings too.

A process of manual corrections of this ugly text strings in QCAD is very very laborious, I think, you need to make a some new instruments to automatic conversion strins like this “\fArial|b0|i1|;сборный...” to strting “сборный...” by checking some postions in your new instruments and clicking “Apply” button.

Thanks.
