1262 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Missing some kind of "QCAD is still working" indicator. | Assigned | |
1 |
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.

2341 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | manage image references | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
QCAD. ver. 3.27.1.0 (3.27.1) Qt version: 5.13.2 Architecture: x86_64 OS Windows 11
It might be useful to have the possibility to manage the references of the images contained within the drawing. A design could use recurring images, stored in a folder outside the one in which the design is located. Moving the drawing or folders (or changing the PC) will lose the folder references and the images are not displayed when the drawing is opened again. I imagine the possibility to view the references of the images (and if necessary modify manually or with a pointer) with the option of: attach, detach, reload, etc., as in the example below (referred to ActCad - based on Intellicad technology)

2421 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Make the preview of Shorten (LE) more visible | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
Andrew,
When we use Lengthen/Shorten (LE) with a positive amount the result is clearly visible when indicating a side of an entity. With a negative amount there is seemingly no preview. It is generated and shown but one can not distinguish it especially with solid lines.
Adding an orthogonal auxiliary preview shape some N pixels long would do the trick.

Andrew,
Related topic: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=10094
When entering 1’ 1’‘ in an input field. - As the size of the rectangle in the topic - As the length property of a line selected in the drawing - ....
Returns 13 in a drawing in mm. And also in a drawing in inch what turns out to be correct. But also in a drawing in foot.
Similar, entering 1’ with a drawing in kilometers it returns 12 units = 12 kilometers.

2161 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Make Polyline from Selection (OC) configurable for simp... | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
QCAD Professional Win installer 32bit Version: 3.25.2.7 (3.25.2.7) Internet: QCAD.org Build Date: Dec 16 2020 Revision: e06f230 Qt Version: 5.13.2 Architecture: i386 Compiler: Unknown
Not related to OS, nor version.
The method Polyline from Segments (OC) can be configured for tolerance and simplification in the Options Toolbar. The method Polyline from Selection (OG) has no UI or none showing.
OG retrieves a tolerance from QCAD.ini, what is initially not set:
var tolerance = RSettings.getDoubleValue("PolylineFromSelection/Tolerance", 0.001);
The tolerance will be default = 0.001 similar as the default in AppPrefs. The tolerance setting is included in QCAD.ini after changing the AppPrefs entry.
OG calls PolylineFromSelection.autoJoinSegments with this tolerance:
var counter = PolylineFromSelection.autoJoinSegments(di, tolerance, this);
PolylineFromSelection.autoJoinSegments calls PolylineFromSegments.createPolylineShape with simplification hard coded to true. (last parameter)
// create polyline from line, arc, spline or open polyline entity:
var polyline = PolylineFromSegments.createPolylineShape(
entity, doc, vTolerance, op, undefined,
traversed, callBacks, undefined, true);
I would like to see the simplification optional and default = true.

Task Description
Provide configuration option to raise / lower maximum reference points that are shown for selected entities (currently fixed to 1000).
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

Task Description
Would it be possible to extend the tool for importing points with a label so that when importing points into the drawing (as it is now), the attributes of the point are taken from the csv file and written to the point’s own properties? See attachment. This would extend the functionality of the tool and I assume that it would also lay the foundation for the possible re-export of such points from the drawing to a csv file, including all the details.

Task Description
Task: If I like to make a hatch and the contour isn’t closed I get a Grey circle Info where the contour isn’t closed. Nice!
But ..... I have this Info only for ONE not proper connection and only for the moment when the mouse pointer is over the Hatch Tool Symbol.
If I have to zoom into the Problem - I will lose the Info where the problem is
To get the “Problem Info” back I have to select it again - but for that I have to zoom out ...............
It would be nice to have this “Problem Info” longer in the drawing - maybe until I solved all problems.
And it would be nice to have ALL Infos for not connected lines at the same time. It is not really helpful to repeat this function 20times if I have 20 connection problems ... ;)

Task Description
Andrew, On behalf of user Kmeelo
Polygonal Area adds measurements text with 12 decimal digits and then as short as possible.
Current formatting path see: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=10450&p=42833#p42805
Related forum feature request: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=10458
I also see a misconception of the term ‘precision’. Numbers precision is the amount of significant digits disregarding the position of the decimal point. 12 decimal digits is about the largest precision for numbers with 5 integer digits.

Andrew,
Usually I point to something to start with. Sometimes I want to point away from here but then the arrow is where I just clicked.
An option on creation would be nice. The capability to reverse the Leader orientation afterwards is another method to get it pointing the intended way.
A Leader entity is stored similar as a polyline. I think it would not be difficult to reverse the basic polyline and update the dimension shape accordingly.

It would be less confusing to read messages in the command line protocol if it would use the same coordinate separators like the settings below Application Preferences / General / Coordinate Format.

Absolute Cartesian Coordinate: Setting = semicolon (;) but the message will use division (/).

1705 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Connect certain actions and layers | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
When dimensioning my drawings I always want the dimensions to be on the dimensions layer. When adding text I want the text to be on the text layer. When drawing an infinite line it is always a construction line, therefore I want it to be on the construction line layer. When drawing a line segment it almost always is on my outline layer.
So I propose a new option to bind certain actions to certain layers. Whenever those actions are selected the layer should automatically be switched.
I can imagine this being implemented in the General→Tool Settings menu, where the short cuts are defined.
