2216 | QCAD (main) | Suggestion | Low | DIM modification cause overlapping text | Assigned | |
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.

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.

2541 | QCAD (main) | Suggestion | Very Low | Consider the unit "Microinch" to be non-metric | Assigned | |
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.

1323 | QCAD (main) | Suggestion | Low | Improve command line support in QCAD | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Hi,
As a typical command line draftsman (still using acad10 for dos, since microsoft doesn’t supoort Win NT anymore), I noticed a severe lack on command line acces in QCAD.
For example I find the icon and pixel selecting methods within qcad very confusing and rude.
With the normal cad Select command I can select exactly what en how I want it.
I intend not to be rude, but I find my drawing screen littered all over with all kind of very specialist menu’s, tools and options. Sorry, I just want to make a drawing at the natural intuitive way, as with a pencil. So I use command line Commands, such as Move, Copy, Change, Select, a.s.o. For a ‘Command scripting’ user (-batching is a different tool!-), it seems to me logical these basic commands should be accessable.

|
Task Description
I love using the context menu, speeding up my workflow indeed.
I would like to suggest that we have the added option to show only icons if desired and also that maybe an option to save and show commonly used tools!
Maybe the context menu could be configurable to show two columns, one for the normal last used tools and the othjer one for the user saved tools?
What do you think?

Serait il possible dans un futur d’ajouter un module de mise en plan de cone.

Ce qui permettrai de sortir une mise en plan a plat de la forme

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
Building with the bundled version, 1.8.5, works fine.
When I try to build using the system version, which for Mageia Cauldron is 1.9.3, the build fails.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kekePower/mmbl/master/qcad/2019/12/11/20%3A13%3A48/log.qcad
Here is the current spec file for version 3.23.0.4. https://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/qcad/current/SPECS/qcad.spec?revision=1465894&view=markup
It looks like qcad is incompatible with versions above 1.8.5.
Are there plans to port to the new version?
Thanks in advance.

Text and/or DIM used in blocks will be mirrored if inserted with a vertical/horizontal flip option.
Text/DIM which was successfully used in previos QCAD versions are now mirrored if they are loaded in the current version.

Task Description
As it can be seen in the attached image, QCAD toolbars may dock to a position slightly outside the visible area of the screen. After having docked there, I have not been able to move them any more. Their current position is just in the middle of the screen.
The position of the toolbars remains the same after the deinstallation of QCAD, shutting down, restarting the computer and reinstalling QCAD. I kindly ask for help.
Kind regards Reinhard

2536 | QCAD (main) | Suggestion | Low | The little circle that shows the error location when us... | Assigned | |
|
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!

2555 | QCAD/CAM | Suggestion | Low | Include tool description when selecting a tool. | Assigned | |
|
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.

2557 | QCAD/CAM | Suggestion | Very Low | G20/21 not occuring in generic postprocessors | Assigned | |
|
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.
