2391QCAD Community EditionBug ReportLowFix Dark Theme for LinuxAssigned
0%
Task Description

The dark theme for Linux is broken:

- Some icons have dark background (expected) and black foreground color (that should be replaced by white of very light gray)
- Some icons have light background (not cohesive with the theme).
- The command history shows dark blue font on dark gray background.
- The grid’s ruler shows black font over dark background for the numbers.
- The icons folder is missing in the GitHub repository, but other themes have that folder.
- The general icons (open, save, and so on) are not dark theme friendly. A better approach for maybe all the themes would be to use something like the breeze icons pack for LibreOffice, and it will have the added benefit of making the app look more modern.

The icons issue is the biggest problem. They should probably replace the black color for white or very light gray. Even the red accent color is not ideal for dark themes, is not the main issue.

Attached is an image that show the problems and another that shows LibreOffice with the Dark Breeze theme for reference.

 2388 QCAD (main)Bug ReportMedium CAM module - Tab visibility problem Closed
100%
Task Description

Hi,
Recently I found out that tabs (CAM module) are only visible on layer 0. If I turn this layer off, all tabs will disappear. It is very inconvenient for someone who create a drawing using multiple layers. Im my case, layer 0 contains the frame and the info table only. When the drawing is ready and verified, I add a layer with a copy of the drawing just for g-code generation. I do it in that way because the drawing sometimes has to be modified for cnc purposes. Please correct this problem.

Tested on: QCAD/CAM Pro 3.27.6
PC with Windows 10.

2387QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowOpen Drawings on Layout Block by DefaultAssigned
0%
Task Description

As the layout block contains the drawing sheet, the number, the viewports, it’s the presentable part of the drawing.

Maybe QCAD could be able to save on the dxf the “last state” of the drawing. If I saved on the Model and closed, it would open on Model... and if my last save was on the Layout”n”, it would open on Layout “n”.

At least on my work area, when opening a finished drawing, it’s the ideal for it to be opened in a Layout (if it was the active block while saving).

100%
Task Description

Tested on a Win7 32bit and a Win10 64bit system.

With App.Prefs defaults for new drawings set to mm, mm, metric.
Inserting a ‘CubeCuttingOut’ with the default size 10 into a drawing in inch results in size 0.39370079” what is indeed 10mm.

One would expect it to be sized 10 units of the target drawing.

Recently reported by Husky concerning the QCAD Utilities by MikeJ.
https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=9429&start=15#p38045

ScriptItems are first created on a new (offline) document.
QCAD will then adapt the size with unit conversion.
Then it will scale, rotate, flip according the ‘Insert Script’ tool options.

This is fully predictable for standard library items where the source is a dxf file with a defined unit and no unit conversion would occur if the library source unit was ‘None’.

I then assume that this can be fixed with setting the new RDocument in InsertScriptItem.prototype.beginEvent its unit to ‘None’.
Not knowing what the intended behavior should be for any other case, source or usage ...

 2384 QCAD (main)Feature RequestLow need some help with copy with reference and paste Closed
100%
Task Description

Dear Mr Mustun,

I’ve got a problem similar to issue 2354.

Sometimes I have to create bigger drawings. Therefore I often create a “main drawing” and some “detail drawings”. I usually do the details in “detail drawing” and transfer them to “main drawing” by using “copy with reference” and “paste”. Until a few days ago it worked quite properly, but now it doesn’t anymore.

Today from issue 2354 I’ve learned that qcad doesn´t use windows clipboard. Can you tell me an alternative way to help me, please?

OS: Windows 11 Home
QCAD: Professional 3.27 (.4 ?, purchased July 29th 2022) 64 bit

dwg2svg supports exporting the layer name (and probably others?) as namespaced XML attributes (`qs:layer`) which works well.
However I’d like to export block attributes as well, as seen on the following screenshot:

2374QCAD/CAMFeature RequestLowAdd Spindle Speed to Toolpath DialogAssigned
0%
1 Task Description

When editing an existing toolpath to update the parameters of the selected tool, we can update the Feed Rate and the Plunge Rate, but I couldn’t find any way to update the Spindle Speed.

Even when using the Edit Tool KE button, we can edit parameters of the tool on concern but none of the modification is applied to the current Toolpath because as I see, tools parameters are copied fron tools definitions to a Toolpath only at creation of this Toolpath, but Toolpath are not updated accordingly.

Could you please add an edit field for Spindle Speed in the CAM Profile Toolpath window?

Many thanks’, and best regards.

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.

CVH

Andrew,

Changing orientation of a polyline with RV or by changing it in the Property Editor clears the global width value.

Single line pieces as polyline default to CCW.
Still the global width is cleared when trying to set them CW.

I didn’t update since 3.27.0 but reading this topic I suppose it still is valid.

Some text appears and then disappears as you zoom in and out and selecting View screen based linetypes has no effect. Also I have noticed that the special character Ohm symbol shows as ? on screen.

2354QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowcopy-paste between two QCAD instancesAssigned
0%
2 Task Description

Hello,

I’ve quite often the task to transfer changes from one set of drawings to another (similar) set.
My ideal setup would be to open one set in one window and the other set in another window.
Both windows would be arranged side-by-side (larger monitor).
Changes would be copy-pasted from one set to the other.

From #2352 I’ve learned that there is a command-line option to achieve this.

Unfortunately it’s not possible to copy-paste between these instances.

And yes, it’s important to do this in two windows to see both versions at the same time.
So, tabs are not the answer.

It’s also ok if i could detach a tab from one instance and arrange it aside of the main window (like the property editor).
Than all data transfers would happen inside the same instance.

Best regards,
Klaus

Hello,
I’ve quite often the task to transfer changes from one set of drawings to another (similar) set.
My ideal setup would be to open one set in one window and the other set in another window.
Both windows would be aranged side-by-side (larger monitor).
Unfortunately Qcad (I’m using the Pro version) does not allow to be started twice in parallel.
Not even Qcad-trial runs concurrently to Qcad-Pro.

So my request is to be able to run two instances of Qcad-Pro in parallel.

It’s ok if the second instance is in a kind of read-only mode where neither data not tool-settings
can be changed.
It’s also ok if number of concurrent instances is limitted to 2.
