2072QCAD (main)SuggestionLowInserted and flipped block mirrors text and dimAssigned
0%
Task Description

Text and/or DIM used in blocks will be mirrored if inserted with a vertical/horizontal flip option.

Text/DIM which was successfully used in previos QCAD versions are now mirrored if they are loaded in the current version.

Version 3.23.0 doesn’t shows this behavior.

2371QCAD (main)SuggestionLowInclude more properties for polylines in the Selection ...Assigned
0%
1 Task Description

Andrew,

Not OS or Version depending.

We can’t filter on some specific properties of polylines.

Handy would be:
- Global Width
- Orientation

Specific:
- Polyline Pattern
But I don’t really search for them ... For some post-op I just need them all to be set to ‘No’.
- # of vertices
Filtering the complex from the more simple ones.
- Including Bulges or not
To seperate polylines with arc segments form others.
There some operations that don’t really work with bulging.
- Z values and/or global Z
This would make sense for some but filtering on Z is not common under QCAD as it is 2D.

1323QCAD (main)SuggestionLowImprove command line support in QCADAssigned
0%
Task Description

Hi,

As a typical command line draftsman (still using acad10 for dos, since microsoft doesn’t supoort Win NT anymore),
I noticed a severe lack on command line acces in QCAD.

For example I find the icon and pixel selecting methods within qcad very confusing and rude.

With the normal cad Select command I can select exactly what en how I want it.

I intend not to be rude, but I find my drawing screen littered all over with all kind of very specialist menu’s,
tools and options. Sorry, I just want to make a drawing at the natural intuitive way, as with a pencil.
So I use command line Commands, such as Move, Copy, Change, Select, a.s.o.
For a ‘Command scripting’ user (-batching is a different tool!-),
it seems to me logical these basic commands should be accessable.

2297QCAD (main)SuggestionVery LowFew UI inconsistencies Assigned

Task Description

1) Line with command prompt in Command Line widget is missing padding/margin - letter C is glued to frame.
2) In the “Selection Filter” widget there is an “whitespace” character before colon “:” symbol on multiple places, it doesn’t seem repeat anywhere else

Two useful commands make it necessary to

1-”delete all the history of the command lines without terminating QCad” ; and

2216QCAD (main)SuggestionLowDIM modification cause overlapping textAssigned
0%
1 Task Description

When I modify partly a DIM with “Stretch” or changing one Extension line position with drag and drop the Value text is updated which is nice working. Unfortunately the previous value stays in place and is overwritten by the actual value. I think for a good readability the previous value should disappear in the moment when the new value is presented.

1368QCAD (main)SuggestionLowContext Menu - suggestionsAssigned
0%
Task Description

I love using the context menu, speeding up my workflow indeed.

I would like to suggest that we have the added option to show only icons if desired and also that maybe an option to save and show commonly used tools!

Maybe the context menu could be configurable to show two columns, one for the normal last used tools and the othjer one for the user saved tools?

What do you think?

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.

2140QCAD (main)SuggestionLowChanging navigation mode for mouse wheel doesn't change...Assigned
0%
1 Task Description

Looks like error, but may be that’s feature request.

CAD software uses typical navigation behavior as:
Wheel = Zoom; Ctrl+Wheel = Scroll up/down; Shift+Wheel = Scroll left/right.

Any other software like browsers, office software (openoffice writer, ms excel and so on), 2d paint software like GIMP (Photoshop and so on) uses other behavior:
Wheel = Scroll up/down; Ctrl+Wheel = Zoom; Shift+Wheel = Scroll left/right.

Users, that intensively use CAD and other software simultaneously prefer to make same behavior in their applications switching CAD scroll to plain mouse wheel.

QCAD’s “Application Preferences”: “Graphics View: Navigation”: “Mouse wheel/ two finger swipe”: “Scroll” allow user to assign scroll up/down to wheel mouse instead of Zoom. But there is mistake Ctrl+Wheel didn’t change to Zoom. Ctrl+Wheel continues to scroll up/down, as the wheel.
Wheel = Scroll up/down; Ctrl+Wheel = Scroll up/down; Shift+Wheel = Scroll left/right. No zoom!

Draw manipulation at this mode like a hell: you need to use wheel in conjunction with Ctrl/Shift to point draw in desired position, than move your hand to +(-) for make desired zoom.

1469QCAD (main)SuggestionLowCartouche automatiqueAssigned
0%
1 Task Description

Would not it be possible to create a kind of template for printing?
We draw our room without cartridge. The cartridge will automatically appear when printed. The scaling could be automatic so that it goes in the A4 and therefore also will post the scale automatically. The name of the play could be the file name, date last saved after it the rest of the information that would be to add somehow (material index, designer, ...).

Original suggestion:

Bonjour,

Ne serait il pas possible de créer une sorte de template lors de l’impression ?
On dessine notre pièce sans cartouche. Le cartouche s’affiche automatiquement lors de son impression. La mise à l’échelle pourrais être automatique pour que ca rentre dans le A4 et donc l’échelle s’afficherai aussi en automatique. Le nom de la pièce pourrais être le nom du fichier, la date du dernier enregistrement après c’est le reste des infos qui serait à ajouter je ne sais comment (matière, indice, dessinateur, ...).

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

2242QCAD (main)SuggestionLowBill of MaterialsAssigned
0%
4 Task Description

It would be a very interesting feature to add to future versions.

I also use AutoCAD Mechanical 2012 and the BOM is synced with every balloon on the drawing. Making it easy to edit.

The core BOM accepts formula fields and we can easily calculate the mass of a part, with some Ifs and math.

The BOM that is shown in the actual drawing is more simplistic, and has just Part number, Quantity, Mass and the Description. But it’s related to the “core BOM”.

It’s a very interesting thing! It would be great on QCad.

1789QCAD (main)SuggestionLowApplication Preferences / General / Performance :0Assigned
0%
1 Task Description

Hi Andrew,

we know that you need to have always software performance in your mind to decide which features / tools can / should be implemented and on which way.

I really appreciate your effort to find the best middle way between software features and performance but I think also it’s a tough call to appraise worldwide the overall customer equipment to make the software workable to the best for everybody. That isn’t possible without compromise.

Maybe it would make sense to think about a new dialog in the “Application Preferences” to let the user decide what kind of feature are absolutely needed regarding to his/her work-task / equipment. I don’t mean that you need to cover every single thing but the main “performance jeopardy’s” should be covered with an on/off switch.

Yes I know - that isn’t done in 5 minutes but I think that can make your life easier in the long run and will cover even more customer.

Just my two cents. ;)
