1505 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | New feature - use info tools with scale | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
When using the info tools, like the point to point measure it would be useful to be able to select a scale as well.
For example, when I scale a drawing say to 1:20, when working on the scaled drawing I can measure accurately with the measure tool in 1:20 also, without having to keep refering to the 1:1 drawing.

Clive

Task Description
Could it be possible to add a simple function to add a new empty drawing (like File > New) to Simple.js ? Thank you. (PS, this simple.js API is awesome, btw :D)
( I already have my own to simplify my scripts, but it does not seem to work correctly if I set action.setRequiresDocument(false); in the init functions See more at http://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=4203#p15203 )

A new tool to create Spirals would be great to have, with an option to restrict the decline to achieve to draw either Logarithmic or Linear styles.

792 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | New 'Match' properties tool | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
To add a new ‘Match’ properties tool.
For example, I have a large drawing with lots and lots of entities on various layers and I want to select some entities (say 500 or more) which are all on different layers and change all these selected entities to match the properties of one other particular entity - but, but I want the ‘Matched’ entities to remain on their own layers.
OK, of course I can use the property editor for this and this is fine in most instances but I would first need to determine the the layer data for the properties of the entity I would like to match to (Color, Line weight and Line type) in the first place and then I need to remember these attributes in order to change things in the property editor in order to change all of my selection to match!
As I say mostly the above procedure would be fine to use but for convenience it would be great to have a new tool to do all this for me and cut out a few steps in the process.
A new ‘Match’ properties tool procedure could be something like this:
1. Select Match properties tool.
2. Select all entities to be matched.
3. Select entity to match to.
4. Tick or leave un-ticked - move to same layer.
5. Complete process.
* Actually, while writing this I`ve just thought of another useful addition which could be added to the Info tool set, ‘Entity’ properties info! Example - click on Info > Entity Properties and click on the entity in question and then the properties are displayed without going to the layer data for this! Just an idea ;)

Task Description
A ' Multi ' Breakout tool or added option to the existing Breakout tool.
For example see attached image.
An option to remove all segments within a chosen boundary would be good, in my example I want to remove all the hatching within the Red circle.
So after exploding the Hatch, currently I have to remove all segments singularly!
Of course I could have placed the circle first and hatched around it - but in this and most instances it is easier to design and to produce the Hatching first and then place my circle/shapes etc.

1170 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | More options for "Paste along entity" | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
The new tool “Paste along entity” is very useful! But I work mostly in mechanical engineering and would like to see more options to determine where it has to start with the first insert item.
Screenshot:
1. That is how it works right now - no chance to get it started on both ends of an line.
2. If I need to have my items also on the ends I have to use additional the normal “Paste” function.
3. If I could tell the “Paste along entity” that there is a start and end “Base” dimension then I’m a big step further.
I could tell the tool that it has to start at “0” or at “25” and the rest is just regarding the calculation. Correct?
However - you need many times in mechanical engineering etc. a hole pattern which will start at:
0,25,25,25,25,25,25,25,25,0
or
25, 123.5, 123.5, 123.5, 123.5, 123.5, 25
It would be very nice to have this also in combination with the “Paste along entity” tool

512 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Modify stretch and Restrict ortho | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
The modify stretch tool wants first and second corner, start and end point, then starts afresh. When I turn on restrict horizontally eg to align two points between start and end, the restriction sticks and I have to call restrict none, to be able to perform the next iteration, set the first corner then.
So, in the quest for a comfortable user interface, it was nice, if the modify stretch first/second corners parameter setting was not affected by current restrict/ortho etc. settings. Actually, that does not make any sense at all anyways, does it, a rectangle is defined by two degrees of freedom, isnt it?

|
Task Description
If I have to do some kind of intense tasks like converting a previous Polyline, which is now exploded to lines (maybe a couple hundred thousand short lines) back to a polyline (Polyline/Create from Segments) QCAD needs time to do that. In this “working time” I can’t see any indicator that QCAD is working. Not a Hourglass on the mouse or some other indicator. I have just the feeling: Nothing is going on right now ...
It would be nice to have some kind of visual info that QCAD is working.

The Offset tools could be located with the Modification tools.

Just a thought, but one that could be useful for machinists in particular - a measurement tool that can snap to a point as per usual, but then just displays the drawing coordinates in X and Y. This could be expanded to the dimensions tool set, so that you can click on a point and print the coordinates next to it.

1005 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Making use of mouse buttons configurable | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
According to the help, one requires a middle mouse to pan. Since few standard mice have middle buttons, this is a poor choice for this all important function. The default should be the right mouse button when ever the mouse is placed in an open area with nothing else to select. That way right click can still be used to invoke a pop down menu when ever the mouse is placed over an object that might have a need for pop down menu options. Additionally, the Pan mouse key should be alterable and selectable from a Preferences option, since if one does have a three button mouse, we should not prevent a user from employing this hardware if they have it. The same might be said for all mouse buttons to allow the user to configure the mouse operation to that which is most comfortable and efficient for their tasks.

Task Description
Stretching multiple points of an entity is not possible to my knowledge. I can use the stretch tool but this gives me a rectangular selection box and this limits my posibilities.

Original report:
Imported a spline-dxf from adobe illustrator. Converted the spline to polyline with explode command. Then no anchor points / vertex points / vertices were showing anymore. Simplified the polyline so that it had less than 1000 points. Vertices became visible.
I think some freeform objects need actually more than 1000 vertices. Also them need to be edited. Please increase the amount of vertices showing to biginteger

In ‘Startup’ (the obvious place for it) there was only an option for the splash screen.

1009 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Layer Order is Alphabetical vs the Order Defined Origin... | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
It would appear that when QCAD imports a DXF, it reorders the layers into alphabetical order (at least when importing R2011). I have not tested this extensively but on other programs, the order is different from alphabetical. Ideally the operator should be given a choice to order the layers as exported (assuming the DXF format remembers that) or alphabetical. This is because a drawing may have a certain stack up of layers (like a printed circuit board) and then alphabetic ordering is not useful nor desired.

To improve useability/efficiency I would like to propose the following changes/additions to the layer list:
1) Combining the show and hide button into one button.
Clicking once will hide all layers, clicking again will show them all again.
2) A “lock/unlock” button.
Clicking once will lock all layers, clicking again will unlock them all again.
Regarding the icons I suggest that instead of show both the black and grey version of the eye/lock, you could switch between them depending on the state the switch-button is in. Also the mouse-over-text could/should change with the state.
