Task Description
Hi,
my setting for “Auto Zoom on load” is checked to on. That works perfect for me for most of my drawings.
But if I save a drawing with Layout Viewports then I have to adjust every Viewport again after loading.
Would it be possible to have an option below Application Preferences / Graphics View / Appearance / Auto Zoom on load / ON which excludes drawings saved with Layout Viewports?

If I’ve to duplicate a layer with a bunch of sub-layer it’s a kind of a Sisyphus task to get it done. Currently I have to duplicate each single layer. Then in an additional step I’ve to address each child layer to the proper parent layer.
Current lack: Marked parent layer with all sub-layer / Duplicate Layer / only ONE layer will be duplicated.

675 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Option for fixed Text and Dimension heights ... | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
I think it would be nice to have the possibility to decide a fixed Text and Dimension (inclusive Arrows) height what is not affected by the Print scale. That means: If I have a given height of 3,5mm it will always be printed with 3,5mm - no matter what the scale for the printing is. Yes, I see also the problem that I could run in space problems after I twitch to the Print preview - but that will also happen when I change the Text hight in the preferences for a 5:1 printing. Maybe this Feature Request doesn’t looks important if you are usually working with Metric Units but if you have to handle Imperial Units then it is a pain in the back to make always the calculation to get the same heights. Try it by your self; 3,5mm = 0.137795” = 1”:1” Now I like to print it in 1”:256” ops - to small - ok 1”:64” ... no, to big, maybe 1”:128” .......and QCad can’t remember the previously numbers.

Task Description
Hi Andrew,
1. I cannot find a way of selecting individual dimensions and changing the precision lets say from 0.00 to 0.000 for these particular dimensions only without affecting all the rest of the dimensions in the drawing - could an option be added for doing this in the property editor or not?
2. Would it be possible to add an option in the drawing preferences so that automatically a symbol is added at the correct placement fo all dimensions, in this case a tolerance plus/minus symbol?
Many thanks
Clive

Task Description
Hi, In paperspace I can scale and rotate etc. a viewport but I can’t mirrow it for to me unknown reasons. After reading and testing this user request I agree that it would make sence to have such an option. The solution from Andrew to accomplish that task with blocks / edit block in place is already a nice solution but to me it feels like paperspace would be the correct place with less action to manage. The user can still design the drawing as usal in modelspace without thinking about the “special treatment” for the block which is used for the mirrowed presentation.

|
Task Description
Most of the other slightly non-standard CAD/eCAD tools I work with (e.g. Diptrace, PTC Creo Elements) use the right mouse button to drag. So when changing between these applications, it’s slightly confusing/annoying that I need the middle mouse button to drag in QCad. Even worse, the middle mouse button on most mice is the scroll wheel which is not really comfortable to hold while dragging.
So I’d propose an option to switch the function of the middle and right mouse button to allow users to choose the preferable option.

Task Description
Some functions / methods can generate some sort off entity or part with NaN / Null / Null-lenght ... props. Some explicitly don’t and test their actions with isNull().
As these serve a purpose in some processes, trails of them can be part of the results. For some users Null / Null-lenght are meaningfull, for other users these produce errors down the line. In a few cases its a desirable feature eg. controlpoint spline. (Allthough there are no Null props involved with equal successively controlpoints)
Many problem post on the forum are related to Null - Zero and so on.
In some cases it can’t be undone by re-editing the drawing. https://qcad.org/bugtracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=1925
If it can’t be undone by Undo/Redo it is a bug. https://qcad.org/bugtracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=1757

Task Description
Previous Feature Request #1285, dated 2015, incorporated in QCADPro 3.24. I regularly adjust linetype scales on hidden, centreline and phantom lines to achieve the best appearance on the drawing when printed. I note the Paint Properties feature copies all the attributes of the chosen line but does not copy the scale. I have to change the scale of each line, even after ‘painting’. This copying all Properties is something AutoCAD does. I know I could change the line to Hidden2 etc. and tick the ‘scale lines’ box in Drawing Properties but that is not always successful- copying properties is a quick and useful way of achieving the required result. QCAD Pro 3.24 Windows10.

Task Description
I guess this is a case of wording and wrong expectations.
The polyline tool “Delete Segments between two nodes” removes nodes, but not segments as the title and the icon suggests.
I propose to rename it to “Delete Nodes between two nodes”.
A tool which actually removes line segments from a polyline, leaving gaps, could indeed be useful to some users.
I think of a straight polyline with several segments. Then I remove some segments. I end up with a polyline with “holes” in it. Now I could stretch that polyline and all the remaining segments and holes stretch proportionally. Could be handy some times.

Hi,
unfortunately I need to use from time to time different Units in a drawing. It works nice with the Scale possibility but to keep my drawing readable I need to label then the DIM accordingly. Sadly I don’t have a Postfix option so I work with a workaround what means I use <>”, or <>’ and <>mm in the Prefix field. If I then terminate the DIM tool and start it again I will loose my settings except the Scale Factor.
May I ask for an additional Postfix option or/and a remember functionality of those fields?

We have in QCAD a rectangle tool with a two point diagonal determination but this is limited to two points and it will only work in a horizontal and vertical direction.
My feature request is based on the idea to draw a rectangle with 3 points - regardless the angle.

2. second point: determination of the first side (width?) and it will also provide the angle for the rectangle
3. third point: determination second side (height?)

Task Description
See: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=10379
Could you add “plain text paste” as ctrl-shift-V Why? Because sometimes the clipboard comes in with rich text formatting that’s anti-helpful. The workaround is to paste into a plain text editor, or the console, then recopy and repaste into qCad.
Either way the ctrl-shift-V shortcut is useful for those trained on other software but: one could also argue that qCad should NEVER take rich text, and rather only accept the plain text with both CTRL-V and CTRL-SHIFT-V.
— CHV says
Agreed, having encountered it numerous times while documenting with text snippets from elsewhere. :roll: Even copying Info measurements from the Command Line are Rich Text.
The best place to file a feature request is QCAD Bugtracker: https://www.ribbonsoft.com/bugtracker/ You may need a different account there or make a new one.
May I remark that Ctrl-Shift-V is already in use for Paste along Entity (PE) But not when the Text Editor Widget has the focus and dialog Widgets are always modal on a Win OS system. :wink: Still, I’ll vote for it in any way.:P

1 |
Task Description
Andrew,
When we alter about any property of a Hatch entity it seems to be recreated with a newer/higher handle. This doesn’t influence the drawing order in direct. But already changing the drawing order of a Hatch it is recreated as a new entity.
It starts to matters in drawing order when there are multiple entities with the same drawing order and that after save/reload. Entities with the same drawing order then receive a new drawing order based on the original but sequentially increasing based on handle.
Because a Hatch is recreated with a newer/higher handle each time a property changes it will thus always end up above the others with the same order even when the original was created earlier.
This is more pronounced when copying/pasting entities from a source to a target drawing. The original Hatch drawing order is retained but it will always be above existent entities with the same drawing order in the target drawing after save/reload.
Most other entities are probably just updated in situ. It is unsure to me at this point if merely updating a Hatch is even possible. And perhaps this is related to the addObject ForceNew flag what is false by default.

Task Description
Hi,
I believe prior QCAD version 3.22.0.0 there was no rotating preview. The rotating preview shows the outcome regarding to the chosen center point. I know that it is also common for move/copy. However, for me it is very confusing and difficult to chose the correct center point for a rotation if I’m constantly been distracted by the most of the time overlapping preview of my selection. This said if the drawing is very detailed I have to zoom in extremely to be able to snap to the right entity. That wouldn’t be necessary without the preview. Additional rotate a large drawing selections will compromise the performance - CPU is going like crazy.
It would be nice to have an option to turn this preview on/off.

1 |
Task Description
In a medium complex drawing it may be too much details to have all layers in a drawing visible at once.
Instead a number of views would be created that saves not only zoom level and position but also what layers are visible and not (as appropriate for the purpose of that particular view). This is very cumbersome (to the extent it is not really realistic) to achieve today and requires a lot of duplication of both model and layers.
The advantage of adding this is the ability to have only one model (with multiple views) and avoid duplication of work and the risk of inconsistency inherent with many copies of the model.
As a further (and natural extension to this) would be the ability to used this functionality with view-ports to be able to create (possibly many) paper-spaces from a single model. This would however require view-ports to be aware of what view they are a window into. A single change in the model would then propagate to all defined view-ports and paper-spaces.

Task Description
Currently, the model space can display lineweights at scale 1:1 It’s very convenient when drawing small objects that will be printed at scale 1:1 : it makes it easy to anticipate the final aspect of the printed drawing. But this feature is unusable for architects or users who draw large objects.
Therefore, it would be very useful to have a factor to multiply lineweight display in model space. For example : if i know my drawing will probably be printed at scale 1:50, i set the value of the lineweight factor to 50. Then every line would be displayed 50x thicker in model space.
