1027 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Rectangle with a 3 point determination ... | Assigned | |
2 |
Task Description
Many times I’m faced with the situation that I have to use a rectangle related to other entities. Dimensions/Angle = unknown.
We have in QCAD a rectangle tool with a two point diagonal determination but this is limited to two points and it will only work in a horizontal and vertical direction.
My feature request is based on the idea to draw a rectangle with 3 points - regardless the angle.
1. First point: start
2. second point: determination of the first side (width?) and it will also provide the angle for the rectangle
3. third point: determination second side (height?)
I’m asking for an additional new tool? No - just as an option to the existing rectangle tool ...

Task Description
In the same way as the Pen tool has a drop down menu, would it be possible to have an option to configure the layer list in the same way. I am trying to create a bit more drawing space and it would be good if I could dock the layer list in the top of my window and only take up a single row space!

These are the versions Ubuntu 14.04 comes with, and since it’s an LTS version, it will linger around a while.

1056 | QCAD (main) | Refactoring | Very Low | Dead and wrong code in RSPlatform.cpp | Assigned | |

Task Description
I am considering pushing the following diff:
--- a/src/core/RSPlatform.cpp
+++ b/src/core/RSPlatform.cpp
@@ -205,25 +205,6 @@ int RS::getCpuCores() {
cores = sysinfo.dwNumberOfProcessors;

-#elif defined(Q_OS_IRIX)
- cores = sysconf( _SC_NPROC_ONLN );
#endif
(truncated list to manage size)
I see that most of this was put in there as a kind of a note-to-self originally, however _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN is implemented by every realistically possible targets anyway, so for all practical purposes, this is dead weight.
A couple of questions remain, though:
#ifdef Q_ OS_WIN32 should probably be Q_ OS_WIN, so as to include win64 as well.
Assuming the real purpose for this function is to determine how many parts a particular task is to be split into in the future, if and when QCAD gets the need to split expensive tasks among multiple CPUS, “core” probably shouldn’t be static - CPUs are hot-pluggable today, and while one probably doesn’t do that on a laptop, it’s not unfeasible in, say, a VDI environment.
Thoughts?

1071 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Very Low | (Bitmap) scaling convenience option | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
This can be done as is in QCAD today, but a quick convenience UI bit would be much appreciated.
Suppose you are working off a bitmap image (transcribing old scan, or you got your apartment’s floor plan like this, because, uh, what tenant needs DXF). It has dimensions markers and everything, but fat chance it’ll be to actual CAD scale after importing.
So, to bring it to scale, you measure between two tick marks on the scale, compute ratio based on measurement and what’s written on the dimension line, and do a scale operation (you can also have QCAD compute the ratio by using math expression, whatever).
That works fine.
A purely just for convenience function to do that would be much appreciated: pick two points, enter what the actual distance between them is, poof bam, appropriate scaling operation is applied.
As a twist, there could be some other bitmap skewing options, like “the points I’ve selected are on a horizontal/vertical line/at an angle of X degrees, then the bitmap would also be applied this transform.

|
Task Description
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.

|
Task Description
When exporting to SVG it would be helpful if there was a selection of layers to export. E.g. when selecting only layer A in the SVG export dialog, only the objects located/displayed on layer A would be exported to SVG.
As an alternative or additional export feature, there could be an option to export each (non-empty) layer to a separate SVG in one step. The layer names could be used as (part of the) default file names during the export. E.g. Layer A of file XYZ would be exported to “XYZ_A.SVG” while layer B would be exported to “XYZ_B.SVG” etc.

|
|
1098 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Support for set of layers | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Many constructions refer to a basis of elements, which stay constant in all follow-ups. As an example there is a floorplan and I would like to create different variations of room layout (e.g. A and B). In my example the basis consists of 30 layers an each variation needs 10 further ones. At last there are 50 different layers in my drawing. Designing layout A needs layer 1 to 30 (basis) and 31 to 40 (A) to be shown, but 41 to 50 (B) must be invisible. Now I modify Var.B which makes me to single click the visibility of 31 to 40 (A) to be not shown and 41 to 50 (B) to be shown. You’ve got it?
It would be great help, to save the set of all shown layers by an individual name in a pulldown-menu. Visibility of my variations could be chosen by userdefined “set of layers”, e.g. “Var-A”, “Var-B” and “Var-A_but_different”. In this way I pick just one set-name in my pulldown-list instead of marking and demarking between countless layers.
In my opinion this tool would be a small aspect in QCad but a giant leap for user-pleasentness

Task Description
In Autocad when making a dimension when left clicking to place the dimension there is the possibility to drag the dimension to either side of the dimension. This is also possible with Qcad dimension, but it losses the snapping and does not extend the dimension line out to the dimension text.
This is very useful when the two lines the needs a dimension are close together, or overlapping with another.

Task Description
When printing from the preview mode a standard Windows popup shows, letting me select the printer, number of copies and a page range. Unfortunately QCAD (or Windows) ignores the page range - it always prints all pages. So right now I always have to copy the parts I want to print, page them into a separate document and print that instead - even though I got all my stuff nicely lined up for printing on multiple pages.

1111 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Option to swap right/middle mouse button | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Most of the other slightly non-standard CAD/eCAD tools I work with (e.g. Diptrace, PTC Creo Elements) use the right mouse button to drag. So when changing between these applications, it’s slightly confusing/annoying that I need the middle mouse button to drag in QCad. Even worse, the middle mouse button on most mice is the scroll wheel which is not really comfortable to hold while dragging.
So I’d propose an option to switch the function of the middle and right mouse button to allow users to choose the preferable option.

1170 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | More options for "Paste along entity" | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
The new tool “Paste along entity” is very useful! But I work mostly in mechanical engineering and would like to see more options to determine where it has to start with the first insert item.
Screenshot:
1. That is how it works right now - no chance to get it started on both ends of an line.
2. If I need to have my items also on the ends I have to use additional the normal “Paste” function.
3. If I could tell the “Paste along entity” that there is a start and end “Base” dimension then I’m a big step further.
I could tell the tool that it has to start at “0” or at “25” and the rest is just regarding the calculation. Correct?
However - you need many times in mechanical engineering etc. a hole pattern which will start at:
0,25,25,25,25,25,25,25,25,0
or
25, 123.5, 123.5, 123.5, 123.5, 123.5, 25
It would be very nice to have this also in combination with the “Paste along entity” tool
