|
Task Description
Hey, this is the first of my feature suggestion submissions that isn’t tied to a corresponding suggestion thread on the QCAD forum.
Should I always create corresponding feature suggestion threads or is it ok (or better?) to just post ideas here?
Anyway though, here’s the idea:
I noticed that it is relatively easy to use things like the QCAD Split Entities and/or Paste Along Entity tool(s) to create an even set of divisions along a curve or line.
There’s also the Misc → Draw → Counter available too, for automated counting.
These together are useful for creating a “scale ruler” to be printed on a schematic for ease of reference or for use in cases where someone forgets to bring along a physical measuring device or when someone else is using that measuring device.
For example, one could print a to-scale 1 foot long ruler (or whatever other scale is relevant, e.g. 1 inch for small objects or just as a nice scale reference/legend/key) on the schematic page for convenience.
However, it would be nice if there was a convenient tool added to the Dimensions tool category that automated this entire process and was able to create arbitrary ruler-like numbered reference scales along lines (and even better if it also worked on arcs, though less important).
Even better would be if this “auto tick” or “auto ruler” tool supported multiple levels of tick scaling (e.g. 2 or 3) such as what one sees on actual rulers.
For example, an imperial ruler for a foot (I’m in the US currently) will typically having increasingly smaller tick marks added at halfway points between each of the numbered points along the ruler’s scale, which makes using it quickly much easier. For example, it’ll have a half-length tick for half an inch and then a quarter-length tick for each quarter of an inch within an inch (with the inch’s ticks being full length).
It seems like it could be relatively easy to implement that kind of nested tick marking system, which would make it super convenient and pleasant for the user of QCAD to create usable to-scale ruler-like objects wherever they desire them with hardly any effort!
I think this idea would also fit extremely well with existing tools in the Dimensions category and would be useful for many/most QCAD users!
It’s yet another good QCAD feature that could attract more people to buy upgraded copies of QCAD in the future I think!
I hope you implement it. Small conveniences still make a big difference.
Anyway, thanks a bunch again for creating this awesome program!
That’s all the suggestions I have for today.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend and upcoming week, etc!

2533 | QCAD (main) | Bug Report | Low | Surveyor's units never seem to display when selected as... | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
I've tried several times to try to see what the "surveyor's units" option of the Angular Dimensions format in the UI preferences will display as, but all it ever seems to do is cause the angle measurement to become blank. No angles are displayed whenever this mode is selected.
Indeed, I cannot figure out what the setting actually does besides causing angles to never be displayed.
Is there a way to make this setting do something meaningful or is it just broken?
I found an old forum thread from 2016 about this same issue and it sounds like the same things is still happening since then.
I'm not a surveyor so I have no actual practical use for these units that I can yet see, but I just figured I'd add an report to the bug tracker here in case any developers aren't aware that the bug still seems to exist.
Does the setting do anything besides changing the displayed units in the status bar?

2535 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | New tool idea: Scale polyline objects separately, each ... | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
In my current QCAD file I’m working on, I have a circular hub with a hole in it which I am also trying to place an alternating sequence of rectangular spokes of a certain relative size around.
I had 4 spokes that I had copied and rotated 45 degrees to create 8 spokes in total around the circle. I tried scaling the the non-cardinal spokes relative to the center of the circular ring, but that causes them to also move towards the center of the ring as they shrink, thereby putting them out of place as they scale.
I therefore had to activate the scale tool once per each object and set an origin (focus) point around the area where each spoke is “attached” to the ring in order to stop each from shifting inward to the circle as it scales.
It occurred to me though that there could be a simple tool or option to do this without that.
Each of my rectangles are polyline objects and thus are coherent continuous objects.
A new scaling tool could be designed such that it is based on simply clicking on each scaling origin on each object (using snapping tools if needed) and then clicking a check button (or enter) when done and then causing the scaling GUI to appear so the user can specify the desired scaling. Each scaling would then be applied to where the polylines were clicked instead of to all the objects as one.
This would be a much faster way to rescale a bunch of objects around individually varying relative scaling origins!

|
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!

2537 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | More variants for converting element types could be use... | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
I don’t actually have any use for this idea currently, but am just posting it here to document it for consideration.
Basically, it occurred to me at least a few more useful conversions between shapes besides the existing ones could be useful.
For example:
Converting lines into axially aligned rectangles of a specified “radius” or “diameter” (with an option to delete or keep the original line geometry).
An option for the above (lines –> rectangles) that causes the intersections between the resulting rectangles to be automatically removed, like a kind of “automatic/magic wall creation tool” based on laying down lines instead of rectangles and then converting via this tool.
Converting circles/ellipses and rectangles back and forth between each other via their bounding volumes. It seems reasonably likely that people will sometimes want to convert circular design elements into rectangular ones and vice versa (e.g. deciding a rectangular column makes more sense than a cylindrical one and vice versa).
Converting any arbitrary selection into a corresponding bounding circle (not rectangle, which already exists) of sufficient size to enclose all points in the selection.
Basically, QCAD already has tools for converting shapes with operations that are a natural fit for the existing geometry, but has less tools for converting to entirely different geometry, but such uses could actually still be very useful potentially!
It seems likely to be common enough as a use case to merit inclusion, rather than just using scripting.
I don’t have any pressing need for these and I know that I could script them to create them if I really wanted to.
These are relatively minor ideas. I’m just putting this out here as more ideas for making this already wonderful software even better. :)

2540 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Retain original handle when Hatch properties are change... | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
Andrew,
When we alter about any property of a Hatch entity it seems to be recreated with a newer/higher handle. This doesn’t influence the drawing order in direct. But already changing the drawing order of a Hatch it is recreated as a new entity.
It starts to matters in drawing order when there are multiple entities with the same drawing order and that after save/reload. Entities with the same drawing order then receive a new drawing order based on the original but sequentially increasing based on handle.
Because a Hatch is recreated with a newer/higher handle each time a property changes it will thus always end up above the others with the same order even when the original was created earlier.
This is more pronounced when copying/pasting entities from a source to a target drawing. The original Hatch drawing order is retained but it will always be above existent entities with the same drawing order in the target drawing after save/reload.
Most other entities are probably just updated in situ. It is unsure to me at this point if merely updating a Hatch is even possible. And perhaps this is related to the addObject ForceNew flag what is false by default.

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.

Already two different users report that Landscape is printed cropped in portrait format, both Win11. The behavior change occurred recently. Although the second user (rdtsc) reports the same behavior for latest Mabox Linux (Manjaro, Arch.)
Can not replicate that on Win7 32 bit nor on Win10 64 bit, both are no longer or not updated OS. For one, I have no orientation setting displayed in my printer dialog.

Andrew, The Arc segments of Polylines with Global or any Local Width render faulty where Global Z or any of the arc’s local Z is not zero.
In the attached drawing setting the Global Z of the inner poly to 5,10,...
The setting of Z to not zero affects the radius of the projected arc and not the bulging of the poly. It also affects the projected widths of the line inversely, but not by changing the widths properties.
Pritty rare combination! True. Qcad is 2D native! True.
Flatten will resolve this.
It is not a purely visual rendering fault, the poly will explode as such.

Task Description
QCAD 3.24.2 / macOS x86_64 10.14.6
Starting with empty doc: 1. Draw any object (e.g. a rectangle) on layer 0. 2. Create new layer (”1”) with color, say yellow. 3. Select new layer 4. Select new object 5. Modify → Move / Copy 6. Click reference point 7. Click target point same as reference point 8. In “Move / Copy Options” dialog, select “Delete Original” and check “Use current layer and attributes.” Click OK.
The moved object stays on the layer it was previously on. Using “Move / Copy” as a quick way to move a selection between layers is not useful even though it appears to be the recommended way in a Google search.
Note: if “Keep Original” is selected instead, the copied object is placed on the current layer and the original object remains on its layer, as expected.
Note: if the target point is different from the reference point, the moved object is placed on the current layer as expected.
There are other workarounds too, cut / paste with “To current layer” checked seems to work, as does chaging the layer in the Properties Editor.

|
Task Description
The Application Preference setting “Graphics View - Appearance - Prevent white-on-white/black-on-black display” seems to be a global setting that doesn’t take the draw order into account. For example: With the setting enabled, it prevents creating a white hatch of a higher draw order on top of a larger, colored hatch with lower draw order (background). The preference does not seem to evaluate if the object is truly drawn as “white-on-white”.
With the preference enabled, setting the object color as “white” will set the “white” color label, but the object color actually stays black. Its hard to determine why it happens in that case.
Is it possible to let the global preference setting be applied to objects after evaluation of the draw order, and determine if the object actually is a true case of white-on-white?
My workaround: Disable the preference setting (I think it is default = on), and only enable it for ad-hoc checks of hidden and overlooked objects.

But if i go to the next tab (drawing tab) then press enter to load it up quickly instead of pressing CTRL + I. Upon changing the dimensions settings and pressing enter to close it, it won’t close but instead flash and i have to keep pressing enter and eventually it closes.
I think this is a bug.
I have the Pro Version

Andrew,
In the attached dxf: Besides that it is clear that duplicate vectors are not filtered ... Where a segment is crossing in another node a non valid node is returned as self-intersection point. Seems to be unrelated to CW/CCW or tolerance.
Where 2 nodes coexists 4 duplicate vectors are returned.

Minor issue! When using keyboard to initiate the dropdown menus. I noticed the ALT “D” does not cycle through the headings Draw & Dimension in the same way. ALT “M” cycles though Modify & Misc or ALT “S” cycles though Select & Snap. User Name: StanTibbs E-mail: [email protected]

Task Description
Andrew,
I can’t find any documentation concerning OffsetBothSides under Misc .. Modify. It is not listed in the QCAD features nor in the changelog.
There was a Feature Request FS#1130 for this, I think you might want to close that as being implemented.
The tool asks for a Line, Arc, Circle, Ellipse, Spline or Polyline. It also seems to act on shapes that can be exploded to such entities like Text, Dimension and Hatch entities.
There may be many ‘Result loop not closed’ or ‘No offsets possible’ warnings when hovering over entities on a drawing. The preview may be partially, one or two sided and even two sided partially and closed with semi-circles.
I only successfully created a dual offset for open Splines, open or logically open Polylines. All other attempts result in a single offset at the indicated side.
There are the usual exceptions for Polylines with arc-segments but that is related to small arc segments and being tangentially connected. Only tested it on a Win7 platform. I don’t suspect that version 3.27.8 includes a fix for that ...
Regards, CVH

Task Description
Andrew,
Most probably not related to OS or QCAD version.
When hatching an area with Hatch from Segments (HS) there might be false positive warnings on open loops. It seems that this is related to the orientation of the indicated segments and the order of selection. The real problematic position is not always the first that is reported. Loop count is increased even if it is a single loop.
Included a basic test drawing to replicate these. Further details to replicate the issue are in the file.
Regards, CVH

Task Description
Instead of having to click on the toolbar, it would be useful to have a keyboard shortcut for undoing the last fit point (or control point) while drawing splines. Preferably it would also be nice to allow the user the ability to set what the keyboard shortcut is for this function.

Task Description
I see the following problem: When I open a particular DXF file in the Professional Trial version 3.27.9.0 on macOS, “^I” in text fields is expanded to whitespace. When I open the same DXF file in the Community Edition 3.27.9.0 on NetBSD/x86_64 (installed from pkgsrc), “^I” in text fields is visible as “^I”.
