Hi Andrew,
Hopefully you might be able to squeeze this one around your busy schedule.
Would it be possible to add in the property editor an option to change a dimension arrow to a point / filled dot and maybe also a tick?
I see you are working on some viewport stuff, I am very much looking forward to testing some of this out ;).
Many thanks

The Midpoint Handles should be used to move Polyline Segments and lines. This would add easy to access stretch functionality.

It would also be possible to to have another shortcut to easily insert nodes to Polylines (again hold shift or alt etc.)

|
Task Description
Add drop object along a path with automatic trim.
The object can be a selection before or after selecting the tool, an entity or a block.
The path can be another entity from a start point to an end point.
Dropping can be made on one side or the other (like in other tools depending on the side of the cursor), with a choice of miroring the object or not.
The number of drops or the distance between can be selected.
The distance can be between a control point of the object or its sysmetry axis or border.
The dropping direction can be selected too.
The droping depth can be constrained : all control points have passed the path, or one of them. Alternatively, replace control points by an entity belonging to the object.
Exemple of use case : equidistant drills in a curved rail. The dropping depth constraint enables for example to ensure a drill has a minimal depth when not orthogonal to a plan.

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
Hello, I recently bought QCAD Pro and this is my first Bugtracker report!
First, I want to say a big thank you for creating and maintaining such a wonderful software package!
I’ve never encountered a system for expressing constraints in 2D (or even 3D) that feels as natural, intuitive, and expressive as QCAD feels!
I am very grateful to have randomly found it somehow. I wish all user interfaces were designed this way and especially that vector art programs adopted similar constraint-based tools.
Anyway though, here’s the actual feature suggestion:
I noticed that QCAD is missing one especially convenient and naturally occuring angular unit: cycles (a.k.a. turns or revolutions).
I personally find cycles to be my favorite unit overall and to be the most intuitive to work with (when not needing to use physical protractors). I actually mostly work digitally and most of my uses for QCAD will be digital. QCAD is the only software I’ve found that really expresses 2D constraints the way I want to be able to work and lay things out.
Rather than redundantly belabor the many reasons why I think cycles should added to the available displayed angle units in the Preferences → Dimension Settings → Angular Dimensions dropdown list, I will simply link to the rather large discussion I’ve already had with Husky and CVH arguing my case about why I want it added and why many other users could benefit from it.
Here’s the link to the relevant forum discussion.

Task Description
As a heavy mechanical drawings user, it would help a lot to have an option to exit a block saving as a new name and making it a new entity from that time ahead.
Example: if a have a lot of screws, one of then is behind another peace and need the to have some lines changed to hidden style lines, in the flow of the work is great if I edit that screw in place and when exiting have the option to save as a new block, to don’t mess with other entities of the same block that I don’t want to change. Yes, there is a workaround that is duplicate and rename the block prior to the editing, but a save as seems to work easier.
Thanks Andrew and team!

Hi there,
A friendly request to add the option to set a maximum lineweight for raster conversions via dwg2bmp.
Depending on the LW configuration of the CAD file, rasterization operations sometimes yield terrible results (see attachment). This would also mirror the similar “-min-lineweight” options available on “dwg2svg” and “dwg2pdf” (although not on “dwg2bmp”).

It would be useful if a file of keyboard shortcuts to commands could be loaded.
Then a set of shortcuts identical/based on the Autocad keyboard shortcuts can be loaded, making it much easier for Autocad users to migrate to your product.
There does seem to be some future functionality planned here, with the shortcut ‘scheme’ selector in Program Preferences, but for the moment ‘Qcad’ is the only option available.
This strategy is used to great effect by Draftsight (but who trusts a big company like Dassault/Solidworks...)

1473 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | "Partial" circular/radial dimensions | Assigned | |
2 |
Task Description
This is kind of related to FS#952, or rather a superset of it.
Consider the situation in the attached image. There is a perfectly good, albeit really shallow arc, making the radius somewhere in the vicinity of 600 millimeters, and the radial dimension being drawn accordingly.
Considering the other dimensions of the part, this is completely unusable, even to work with, really, but definitely so when it needs to be put on paper.
It would be nice to have some sort of “partial” (for my lack of a better word) radial/diametric dimensions where the dimension length can be adjusted.
Considering that this can be done with Leader, maybe a better (more generic) solution would be for Leader type dimensions to have options so they could automatically generate labels for various dimensions of a selected entity – sort of like having the Prefix/Tolerance/Scale options the other dimensions have, and have some additional fields there for selected entity and maybe dimension type (for example, radial or diametric for an arc-type entity).

1870 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Stretch tool / option to turn selection restriction on... | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Hi,
since 3.19.2 the Stretch tool looks for any selection and follows the specification “Only stretch selected entities if there is a selection”.
That is a nice feature but it leads many times to confusing because I have to deselect a selection just because I need to use the stretch tool on something else on the fly. The same if I “forgot” a selection outside of my zoom which is still important for me. The stretch tool just won’t work without any message why not. My routine now is that I terminate every selection just before I use the stretch tool just not to be surprised by “why isn’t it working”?
It would be nice to have in the Stretch option bar a checkbox to turn the “only selection feature” on or off. QCAD should remember that setting.

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.

Zooming in and out is lagging to the point of unusable. This is happening in a layout block with the cursor pointing inside geometry with hatches. When the cursor is pointing outside the geometry zooming works as expected. The attached file has a very simplified testcase that shows this problem almost in the same way as a more complex drawing with multiple layers and hatches.
edit: I also attached the more complex drawing because it is a bit unclear to me where the lagging stops. Outside the viewport or outside the paper.
I just noticed the selection box has the same problem!

1915 | QCAD (main) | Suggestion | Low | Viewport does not rotate view-port when changed in pape... | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
To reproduce
1. Select a new view-port in model-space 2. Select the appropriate paper-space 3. When the paper space opens change the angle of the viewport.
Actual
The object in the viewport changes but the viewport itself remains unchanged
Expected
That both the view-port and the object changes angle as the angle is updated
Motivation
If you abort the placement (but keep the angle) and go back to model-space and then redo the operation the view-port is rotated along the angle. It seems that the viewport only picks up the initial angle once the paper-space is open and ignores any changes thereafter
Workaround
1. Select the view-port per normal in model-space 2. Open the paper-space and set the wanted angle but do not place the view-port in paper space 3. Abort the placement on paper-space and redo the whole operation
Once the paper space is opened again the view-port will have the chosen angle

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!
