2541QCAD (main)SuggestionVery LowConsider the unit "Microinch" to be non-metricAssigned
0%
1 Task Description

Andrew,

One Microinch is equivalent to 25.4 nanometers and I don’t consider that to be metric.

RUnit.isMetric(this.getDocument().getUnit()) returns true for RS.Microinch or value 8.

https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/master/src/core/RUnit.cpp#L145-L155
Returns false for: RS::Inch ; RS::Foot ; RS::Mile ; RS::Mil ; RS::Yard
... and true for all the rest.

Also see last note in: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=9506&p=38295

Not to be confused with RDocument::isMetric() because that returns the measurement system unless that is RS::UnknownMeasurement what is rather impossible with drawings created by QCAD.

2021QCAD (main)Performance IssueVery LowCannot work with big dwg filesAssigned
0%
Task Description

Openning a big file or doing any action in it, takes minutes to load.
Even dragging the scrollbar slightly left or right, takes mintues to redraw the canvas again, which makes QCAD un-usable for professional use.
Is there a way to make QCAD usable, after loading completed:
- Like suppressing edit until user says so,
- or taking snapshots of rendered canvases to another file and use it, as windows uses thumb.db ( for negative latency :P )

PS: I wish I could help a bit, but my hand are tied. I am just a java freak, I am opt to any idea of porting it to java, if she is still alive.

»> Auto zoom of ‘Block 1’ (Intended behavior)

»> Returns to Model_Space with the zoomstate of the removed Block
»> Halfway down the drawing

Intended behavior is that the zoomstate of Model_Space and Blocks don’t mix
See: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=7797&p=30371#p30378

This proves they do, even if the block doesn’t exists anymore.

2547QCAD (main)Bug ReportVery LowBlock > Purge Unused Blocks > Removes _DatumFilled bloc...Assigned
0%
1 Task Description

Andrew,

The _DatumFilled Block used by Datum entities (DT) is considered as not used and is purged by Purge Unused Blocks (BP).
There is no block association for these special types of arrowheads in QCAD.

After purging the Datums are not immediately updated but the special arrowheads will eventually disappear. Adding new Datums will not fix that.

Not problematic because the _DatumFilled Block is re-created on save/reload when Datum entities exists. Datums are updated.

Probably not OS or version related.
Related forum topic: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=10694

Best solution would be to support different types of arrowheads and all related:

Without the ‘remove’ option it can’t be undone.

The 3dConnexion Space Navigator would be wonderful as a pan and zoom control. I find it extremely useful in SketchUp and when I switch from that to QCAD am always disappointed to find it doesn’t work.

While full support for the buttons and such would be nice, just the ability to map the axis to pan and zoom would be wonderful.

I find myself with reasonable regularity needing to change the background color between black and white. It would be much more efficient to have a toggle button on the ribbon to make this sort of instant (kind of like the “screen based line types” button works but make it for background color and just between black and white or let people define their dark and light themes and toggle the background between the two.
