601 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Für Berechnungen neu zu erstellende Elemente Werte von ... | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Es wäre schön wenn ich Werte wie zum Beispiel Längen von Linien direkt abgreifen könnte um diese weiter in Berechnungen verwenden zu können.
Beispiel: Ich habe eine Linie konstruiert wobei sich eine Länge y ergeben hat.
Nun möchte ich eine Linie zeichnen die 5 mal y sein soll.
Linientool → Wert 5* eingeben und y durch Auswahl mit der Maus von dem vorhandenen Elements übernehmen.
Natürlich könnte ich die Geometrie Info benutzen um den Wert abzulesen oder auch über die Zwischenablage zu benutzen. Ein abgreifen mit der Maus wäre aber schneller, direkter und wahrscheinlich auch mit weniger Fehlern (Human error) verbunden. Wahrscheinlich auch genauer da QCad, denke ich, mit mehr Nachkommastellen rechnet, oder?

|
Task Description
Dear Andrew, just in case you should ever run out of ideas for enhancements; As an advisor I sometimes get PDF files and recently, some CAD drawings contained layers, which is kind of nifty to reduce the clutter.
Sadly though, qprinter/qpainter seem to be unaware of OCG (Optional Content Groups, the PDF jargon for layers) at the moment, so my plea is for the back burner now. Probably in SVG though it can be done? Yet that is of a little less use, maybe…

Task Description
dwg2svg supports exporting the layer name (and probably others?) as namespaced XML attributes (`qs:layer`) which works well. However I’d like to export block attributes as well, as seen on the following screenshot:

(...so `ROOM_NAME` would become `qs:ROOM_NAME=”Eötvös terem”` on the respective XML element).
Thanks in advance.

2287 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Very Low | Evaluate draw order for preference "Prevent white-on-wh... | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
The Application Preference setting “Graphics View - Appearance - Prevent white-on-white/black-on-black display” seems to be a global setting that doesn’t take the draw order into account. For example: With the setting enabled, it prevents creating a white hatch of a higher draw order on top of a larger, colored hatch with lower draw order (background). The preference does not seem to evaluate if the object is truly drawn as “white-on-white”.
With the preference enabled, setting the object color as “white” will set the “white” color label, but the object color actually stays black. Its hard to determine why it happens in that case.
Is it possible to let the global preference setting be applied to objects after evaluation of the draw order, and determine if the object actually is a true case of white-on-white?
My workaround: Disable the preference setting (I think it is default = on), and only enable it for ad-hoc checks of hidden and overlooked objects.

1934 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Diametric text - overlaid | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Diametric text is always placed above a horizontal measurement.
I often want to indicate both the inside and outside diameter of an object e.g. a wheel using diametric text. The text is overlaid and illegible.
To avoid text overlapping, I use Horizontal Aligned because I can control the position of the text to avoid illegible text.
A better method would be to alternate the placement of diametric text (alternatively) above and below a measurement so that in the majority of cases an overlap would be avoided.
Similarly for a vertical measurement, the text is overlaid and illegible.
When the angle is almost vertical, the angle controls the side the text appears however it also reverses the direction of the text (which is logical but not attractive).
Kind regards Simon

805 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Create tool radius compensation / tool path generation | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
This is how I would implement this:
This would be a modification tool. Parts are selected, a toolpath is generated, and a dialog pops up to allow putting the tool path into an existing layer, a new layer, or replace all drawings in an existing layer.
This is how the toolpath is generated:
We iterate through all elements and explode everything but text into line segments. Then we connect the line segments into chains wherever the line endpoints are less than some tolerance away from each other. The chains can be very chaotic, but at least we have separate entities for now.
For every chain, we need to find the largest complete loop. A good drawing would only contain non-overlapping loops, but we can’t expect that. Everything that is not on this loop can not be defined as a part or as a hole, so we will merely create a tool path segment that is equivalent to the line segment. Every segment that *IS* on a loop is either an outside edge (part outline), or an inside edge (hole outline), (or overlapping, in which case it is neither, and we have an operator problem).
In a perfect world, we need to find exactly which shape is inside which other shape, and then create alternating tool offsets from the outmost loop (part edge) to the second outmost (hole), to the next (part) etc. .
In a simplified world, we can used the bounding box of the loop instead. This works OK for rectangular shapes, but a circle next to an “L” shape could be seen as inside the L’s bounding box, hence inside the L, wrongly accused of being a hole, not a part.
Now all that is left to do is to create a new loop, offset by the tool radius. Oh, and since we have the connections from line segment to line segment in the correct order already, we can use the opportunity to order all cutting loops from inner to outer, or from small to large, and order non-loop edges by travel distance.
The new drawing in the new layer can now be exported without further hassle to create a nice laser cut file.
PS: of course, a user could create multiple layers for marking, cutting, enraging, etc. . Additional Layer attributes for cutting speed and laser power (and a few more) would be needed.

I have created a drawing, where the CENTERS of the most outer lines have a distance of 3.06mm in both X and Y. The line weight of these outer lines is 0.6mm, so the whole image is 3.06mm + 2* 0.6mm/2 = 3.12mm wide and long (center to center plus half of the line weight on every side). Additionally in the export there is a frame around the image, making it 3.12 + 2*frame. The export function however calculates 3.06mm when setting the resolution to 1000Pix/cm, so it does not include the line weights and the outer frame.

1681 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Auto-dimensioning | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
You can apply the command to Lines, PolyLine segments, Arcs, Circles, and Rings:
For linear entities parallel to an axis of the coordinate system, aligned Dimensions (parallel Dimensions) are created. For linear entities not parallel to an axis of the coordinate system, either aligned Dimensions (measuring the absolute distance between two points) or horizontal or vertical Dimensions (measuring the horizontal or vertical distance between two points) depending on where you move the pointer are created.
For curved entities, you can create radial, diameter, linear, angular, and arc length Dimensions.
To dimension entities:
Click Dimension > Auto (or type AutoDimension). In the graphics area, select an entity to dimension. Click to place the dimension line. To use another dimension type for Circles or Arcs, specify an option: Diameter. Creates a diameter Dimension. Radial. Creates a radial Dimension for an Arc or Circle. Linear. Creates a linear Dimension of the diameter of a Circle or an aligned, horizontal, or vertical Dimension between the end points of an Arc. Angular. Dimensions the angle between the end points of an Arc. Arc length. Dimensions an Arc length. Note: The chosen option is the default the next time you use the AutoDimension command.
When you move the pointer during a linear dimensioning, you can: Lock. Determines the current dimension type (aligned, horizontal, or vertical) regardless where you move the pointer. Unlock. Unlocks the type of linear dimension used. Press Enter.
*** In short, when you use this tool you click on an entity and it will know what dimension you’re looking for. For Circles, you can specify in the command window R or D for Radius or Diameter. This would be extremely useful on large drawings where a lot of dimensioning is to be done. One tool and start clicking on entities for dimensioning.
