|
Task Description
As per https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=9089, I suggest to extend the distance information tools:
* show Delta Z (at least when any of the elements has Z information) * allow switching between 2D and 3D distance * maybe allow to show both * maybe change the text to distinguish between them (”Distance” → “Distance 2D/3D”)

Task Description
See drawing: I can’t seem to be able to manually change to the “To” variants – that is, override the decision of the label/arrow placement engine.
The circle in the attachment is a borderline example of when even just in this form I would more like it on the outside. If the drawing is crowded in that area, it would be even more useful to have it the other way around.

Task Description
This one is a really important one for me, as currently I am doing a lot of dimension and annotation drawings. I would like to request an option to be added to the dimension settings for both drawing and application settings to be able to choose whether the dimension text is to the right or left side or over the top or underneath the dimension line. This would help tremendously when a lot of dimensions are needed!
Regards

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

2 |
Task Description
Hi,
With the new block attribute feature available in QCAD 3.3, there’s little to be done in order to make QCAD a good environment for typesetting circuits and other diagrams. In particular, the only killer feature that lasts is support for connectors: orthogonal lines that connecting one endpoint to another creates a connection line; when the concerned entities are moved the connection line is re-arranged. I’d like to know whether commercial support for this feature is available.

There is the Synchronize attributes feature which works well. But It affects only block references in the active layout(modelspace, block layout).

That is the reason I would like to modify Synchronize attributes feature to affect all block references in a drawing, or add new Deep synchronize attributes feature.

|
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.

Hi,
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.
This example shows the “Absolute Cartesian Coordinate” but of course all corresponding format settings should be used within messages.
Absolute Cartesian Coordinate: Setting = semicolon (;) but the message will use division (/).

2354 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | copy-paste between two QCAD instances | Assigned | |
2 |
Task Description
Hello,
I’ve quite often the task to transfer changes from one set of drawings to another (similar) set. My ideal setup would be to open one set in one window and the other set in another window. Both windows would be arranged side-by-side (larger monitor). Changes would be copy-pasted from one set to the other.
From #2352 I’ve learned that there is a command-line option to achieve this.
Unfortunately it’s not possible to copy-paste between these instances.
And yes, it’s important to do this in two windows to see both versions at the same time. So, tabs are not the answer.
It’s also ok if i could detach a tab from one instance and arrange it aside of the main window (like the property editor). Than all data transfers would happen inside the same instance.
Best regards, Klaus

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.
