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.

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.

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.

2433QCAD (main)SuggestionLowLock Snap [SQ] fails at snap Middle Manual [SN]Assigned
0%
Task Description

e.g: If I use content out of the clipboard to insert it multiple times into the drawing with using the Middle Manual snap [SN] the snap can’t be locked [SQ] and I have to reactivated the snap again and again for every following insert.
Other snaps like END or CENTER work flawless in this scenario.

2536QCAD (main)SuggestionLowThe little circle that shows the error location when us...Assigned
0%
Task Description

I was having some problems getting some shapes to fill with a solid fill and was frustrated by the awkward numeric coordinate it was giving me for where the error (the disconnected shape points) were, until I fortunately noticed that a tiny pale circle appears around the point where the error is for about just 1 second.

This is a very helpful error indicator circle but is far too easy to miss.

Perhaps making it last longer (or letting the user control that) would be beneficial.

I also wonder if showing multiple such circles (when they exist, as they did in the piece I was working on) at the same time or having that as a UI option would be good.

Anyway, goodnight all!

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.

2555QCAD/CAMSuggestionLowInclude tool description when selecting a tool.Assigned
0%
Task Description

Andrew,

At present QCAD/CAM the tool drop-down box displays tool number and diameter between brackets.

It would be more appropriate to display if it is a mill or a drill and/or the description of such.
In a further stage of development ball-nose ... Conical ... And so on.

I have several specialized mills with the same diameter.
End-mills, roughing mills, routing mills, face mills ....

Tools 1(ø6mm) or 2(ø6mm) don’t say much if tool 1 is a side-mill and tool 2 is a high speed drill for metal.

2557QCAD/CAMSuggestionVery LowG20/21 not occuring in generic postprocessorsAssigned
0%
Task Description

Andrew,

I know that GCodeMM.js and GCodeIN.js are generic postprocessors.
Mostly used as base for other or custom postprocessor.

The distinct nature is pretty clear from the filename and the suffix in the display name.
Another distinct nature is that they include this.unit = RS.Millimeter / RS.Inch intended for the CAM side.

Why don’t they include at least a G20/21 in a generic header?

There are several more specific postprocessors where I miss these G-codes for the measurement system.

True, if they are not supported, no error messages would occur when omitted.
The danger is that users rely on build in postprocessors hoping that it matches with the default measurement system of their setup.

IMHO it is safer to trigger an instruction fault before attempting to execute a wrong motion.
As fail-save as possible should always be the goal.

CVH
