With a Mac (and no external mouse) there’s no middle button so it’s not possible to pan the 3D view (that’s what they tell me in the forum). It would be useful if one could use command-drag or control-drag to pan around the 3D view.

2213QCAD/CAMFeature RequestLowAllow editing Spindle Speed separately for each Toolpat...Assigned
0%
1 Task Description

Hello dear CAM developers!

I need to use the same tool at different spindle speed in a single machining file.
I would deeply appreciate if you could add a Spindle Speed edit field in the CAM Profile Toolpath edit window in order that each Toolpath can have its own Spindle Speed value (same as you did for Feed Rate and Plunge Rate)

FYI, the tool on my concern is a laser who’s power is driven by the Spindle Speed PWM signal.
I need to be able to do both engraving and cutting in a single file.
Alas! this laser tool is defined with a fix and unique number (99).
Therefore I cannot define different laser tools with different speeds.

Many thanks
Best regards.

2233QCAD/CAMFeature RequestLowMore selection options to select sheets for nestingAssigned
0%
Task Description

I’m often in the situation that I have to select for nesting 50+ sheets. Currently is only a Shift + left mouse click selection possible. It would be nice if QCAD/CAM could get for the nesting / sheet selection additional a mouse rectangle area selection.

2307QCAD/CAMFeature RequestLowTools to create dogbones or corner overcut Assigned
0%
2 Task Description

The inside corners of profile tool paths have rounded inside corners. This occurs because the rounded outside the bit cannot make it all the way into the corner of the feature. Think of tracing the inside wall of a cardboard box with a can of soup. The can makes direct contact with the box walls, but its
round shape is unable to completely fit into the tight corners— there’s always a gap.

In a dog-bone overcut (see the figure in attachment), the inside profile corner is enlarged into a semicircle, allowing the sharp edges of the mating piece to slide through without interference.

When a dog bone is applied to the inside corners, as shown in the second figure in the attachment, the joints fit together nicely!

The following website explains what should be implemented More elegant CNC dogbones

There are two ways to implement this tool. Either you modify the original design (as implemented in Fusion 360) or you can do it at the moment you define the tool path (Estlcam allows you to do this for example). See the feature Corner overcut, on Estlcam website

2331QCAD/CAMFeature RequestLowTabs: Control over on which particular profile used.Assigned
0%
Task Description

Currently if I position one Tab (KT) to stacked profiles QCADCAM will use it on ALL in Z matching profiles. Practically in most cases would be to use tabs only on the lowest profile.

It would be nice to have some kind of control on which profile a tab has to be used.

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.

2418QCAD/CAMFeature RequestLowInclude a GroupCustom widget in CAM Toolpath dialogs.Assigned
0%
2 Task Description

Andrew,

Unrelated to OS or QCAD version.

In the postprocessor configuration dialog there is a group box called ‘GroupCustom’.
One can add custom widgets to that, rename it and so on.

Such is not provided in CamProfileToolpathDialog.ui or CamDrillToolpathDialog.ui

It should be possible but we aren’t really able to mix up things with the ‘Message’ QLabel ...
A reserved QGroupBox would do the trick. ;-)

Related forum topic:
https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=10468

For ‘milling’ on path it doesn’t consider

this.arcInterpolation = true

in the custom postprocessor nor the checked option in the CAM Configuration Dialog.

As far as detected the CamArcInterpolation checkbox of the CAM Configuration Dialog is unrelated to the this.arcInterpolation in the postprocessor.

2507QCAD/CAMFeature RequestLowAdd Toolpath from LayerAssigned
0%
1 Task Description

I’ve been able to make this work as proof of concept very easily, but many of the functions are inaccessible/difficult to override from post-processors.

Desired functionality:

1) Enable “Add Profile Toolpath” UI elements all the time (remove setRequiresSelection)
2) CAM Profile Toolpath Dialog: Drop-down menu of available Layers. First option “By Selection Only” 3) “By Selection Only” continues to pass EntityIds of selected objects (existing functionality)
4) Choosing an active Layer will use the Layer as source of EntityIds
5) Any changes to Entities on a Layer will result in those new/removed/changed objects being re-generated without having to manually select and update the tool paths. Either do not recover list of EntityIds from the ToolpathBlock, and instead use “live” each time it’s regenerated, or additional functionality to determine if a LayerId is associated with the Toolpath, and then lookup EntityIds.

I assume the persistence of the Layer selection would be available within the Toolpath, so that it will automatically update EntityIds every time a Toolpath is regenerated, without having to select Entities and updating the toolpath manually.

For large projects, being able to force select objects based upon layer dramatically reduces mistakes and speeds up the workflow.

Thanks

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

 1293 QCAD/CAMBug ReportMedium Crash when snapping to intersection points between 3d l ...Closed
100%
Task Description

I have a file that makes QCAD crash. I’ve been editing this design across different versions of QCAD over time and this is the first time I have a problem with it.

Steps to reproduce:
Open the attached file and try to add some entities or dimensions to it (you may need to create large ones since it seems to depend on the zoom factor; for example a very large ellipse). After a freeze of a few seconds QCAD will quit.

The attached file is a simplified version from which I deleted a number of entities; on the original I can’t do anything – QCAD crashes as soon as I try to create any object.

Cause: 3D lines with x1==x2, y1==y2 but z1!=z2

 1003 QCAD/CAMFeature RequestLow QCAD Community Edition: add unicode support for layer n ...Closed
100%
Task Description

Community version (still on FBSD only), so dxflib. I suspect the culprit is dxflib.

I have created layers and blocks and whatnot with (hungarian) accented characters in their names.
Apparently (according to the Internet, as evidenced probably most glaringly by usa.autodesk.com /adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=7586582&linkID=9240617) the R15 DXF version assumes single-byte character sets being used. Quick grepping the DXF2000 mentions “String (255-character maximum; less for Unicode strings)” (Group Code Value types), so it may be a false track...

Anyway, the DXF file written does have strings converted to single-byte encoding, but it seems it’s always ANSI-1252. When the output encoder encounters a character that is not representable in this one, it will use a literal question mark.

Actual case, I have a block with the name

106 egypólusú váltókapcsoló jelzőfénnyel

Of this, “ő” (U+0151) is not representable in ANSI-1252, so what gets written to the dxf is (non-ASCII shown in hex)

106 egyp<f3>lus<fa> v<e1>lt<f3>kapcsol<f3> jelz?f<e9>nnyel

Note the literal question mark.

Now the problem is this is an irreversible operation but the result is perfectly valid ANSI-1252, so upon opening the file again, I will get a block named

106 egypólusú váltókapcsoló jelz?fénnyel

IMHO the ideal resolution is to

  1. Have a preference for the export code page (and use it, too, circumstances permitting)
  2. Iff this is not set (or set to a default “Use system locale to determine” or something), use a look-up table to take a good guess (like old QCAD2 qcadlib/src/engine/rs_system.cpp:QCString RS_System::localeToISO())
  3. If the output encoder encounters a character that is not representable in the target code page, throw an error with an option to ignore the error (and keep using question marks, but then this must have been acknowledged by the user so not silent problem anymore), pick a new output code page, whatever else

This all assuming the R15 doesn’t actually depends hardly on ANSI-1252 and ANSI-1252 only. In that case, option #3 would still be nice.

Most Western European languages (and English) are not affected by this as ANSI-1252 has most of them covered, but a little to the east, a little to the south, a little to the north, and it does make a bit of a difference :)

 1076 QCAD/CAMBug ReportHigh Crash on Mac OS X when using internal Trackpad Closed
100%
Task Description

Hi,

I have just updated my Mac OS from 10.9.2 to 10.9.4. QCAD 3.6.2 seems to be working normally under the newest version of Mac OS, but has developed a very specific bug which leads to reproducible crashes when a text object is edited.

Steps to minimally reproduce:
1. Open QCAD
2. Create a text object
3. Place the text object on the canvas
4. double-click the text object and edit its contents
5. click OK to accept changes
6. repeat from step 4 three or four times.

After several attempts to edit a text object, QCAD will crash with EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) in thread 0 (QCoreApplication).
The crash can also be triggered by moving the text object around on the canvas (instead of editing its contents).
The bug does not require anything else (no other objects on the canvas, no particular font, occurs in both new and previously saved documents).

Apart from this bug, QCAD seems to work fine on OS X 10.9. The text editing crash did not occur before the latest OS update. No other applications on my system seem to be having any problems. If this problem can be fixed, I think QCAD will be quite usable on 10.9.

Task Description

I am trying to use the align tool (M, A) to align two text objects vertically. I am able to get them aligned how I want them, but when I confirm (click the green check box in the upper right-hand corner) they mysteriously jump up a large grid square or so. I am then able to get them back into the alignment by the “undo” command. In case that didn’t make sense I’ll try this one more time:

{Result} (User Action)

{text boxes out of alignment}(Align tool “M,A”){text boxes aligned}(click green checkmark){text boxes move randomly}(undo “ctrl-z”){text boxes aligned}

I’m thinking this is either operator error or a bug. It is consistent though.

 1142 QCAD/CAMFeature RequestLow Distance Entry in "Feet and Inches" Closed
100%
1 Task Description

I use architectural units everyday in QCAD and would appreciate being able to enter feet and inches from the “command line” for convenience and accuracy.

I have been entering “calculations” to arrive at the distance values (i.e. 10*12+6.125 = 10’-6 1/8”), but this method is time consuming and prone to input error.

I would like to see Acad’s architectural distance method implemented in QCAD. This entry method would replace the “calculated” entry with (as an example): 10’6-1/8.

Command Line: Next point: 10’6-1/8
The <’> mark triggers a 12 times multiplier for the proceeding number,
the next number is the whole inches and
the ↔ is a separator that adds the fraction to the whole inches before it.

Thanks for considering this feature request. I’m certain that many QCAD users in the Architectural, Mechanical, Electrical and Construction professions wold appreciate this convenience (especially those moving past Acad).

When rounding the fourth corner of a rectangle, with trim checked or unchecked, instead of the corner being trimmed to a radius, the rectangle itself disappears leaving only the corner with the rounded off portion intact.

 1197 QCAD/CAMBug ReportLow Small Polyline offset with 'round join' makes line segm ...Closed
100%
Task Description

When making an offset of a polyline with ‘round join’ enabled, and making a small offset of 0.0015 inches, no arcs are made, only coarsely interpolated line segments.
Further tests show that this is true until the offset is increased 0.040 inches; then the offset begins to create arcs.

The creation of arcs in a polyline offset with such small distances did work in QCAD 2.x.

 1237 QCAD/CAMBug ReportMedium Blocks should be layer agnostic Closed
100%
Task Description

I have created a block from a selection. I have then later created more items on my CAD page using that block, then later yet, moved the objects to a new layer. I noticed that while the object has accepted being on the new layer, the color hasn’t changed to the new layer’s color. I can only get the line color to change if I go into the block itself and move the individual segments of the block to that new layer, then save the new block (which, by the way, I can’t save over the existing block?!?!)

In the sample file attached, you will see that the block item in the 3 o’clock position is in layer 0, while the rest are in “Vent Holes” layer. If you make layer 0 hidden, the one block is hidden (like it should), but the block item refuses to take on the layer’s color even though the block’s color is “By Layer”

 1240 QCAD/CAMBug ReportLow USB Flas Drive save makes the drive Read Only Closed
100%
Task Description

This problem is USB Flash drive related.

First of all, QCAD does not show the flash drive a drive where data can be stored, but it does when one wants to open a file.

If one then did open a file from the flash drive, saving it back tot he flash drive change the permission of the entire drive to read only and I could not manage to change that other than formatting the drive.

 1322 QCAD/CAMBug ReportHigh Fonts mixed up witch code tables Closed
100%
Task Description

Hi,

In ‘Application preferences, Draw, Text’ fonts can be selected.

There is a mixing up between fonts (the appearance of characters on screen) and code tables (what digital code is used for each character).

‘ISO8859-11’ is the 8 bit Thai (!) code table and not a font
‘Unicode’ is the 16 bit code table and not a font.

For downward comptability QCAD should use default font Standard (ISO3098) with code table ISO8859-1 (US-ASCII Latin-1).

Task Description

Hi,

Using the Copy and Move command the [ ] Use current layer and attributes’ is confusing.

Perhaps [ ] change copy /moved set to current layers and attributes. is more suitable.

 1369 QCAD/CAMBug ReportVery Low qcad-bin is trying to access non-existent /home/andrew Closed
100%
Task Description

I experience long start delays. I’ve trace the problem to the fact that I have autofs automounting my home directories. However, an strace of qcad-bin shows the following:

execve("/opt/ribbonsoft/qcad/qcad-3.12.6/qcad-bin", ["/opt/ribbonsoft/qcad/qcad-3.12.6"...], [/* 87 vars */]) = 0
brk(NULL)                               = 0x1eca000
mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7fd6194ad000
access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK)      = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/andrew/local/qt/lib/tls/x86_64/libqcadecmaapi.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/home/andrew/local/qt/lib/tls/x86_64", 0x7fff4722f250) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/andrew/local/qt/lib/tls/libqcadecmaapi.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/home/andrew/local/qt/lib/tls", 0x7fff4722f250) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/andrew/local/qt/lib/x86_64/libqcadecmaapi.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/home/andrew/local/qt/lib/x86_64", 0x7fff4722f250) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/andrew/local/qt/lib/libqcadecmaapi.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/home/andrew/local/qt/lib", 0x7fff4722f250) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Since there is no “andrew” user here, I have to wait for automount to timeout which takes about 2m and is rather annoying.

 1398 QCAD/CAMBug ReportLow Duplicate zoom buttons in toolbar and menu Closed
100%
Task Description

I am seeing duplicate zoom buttons in the View toolbar, and also under the View menu. Under Application Preferences→General→Tool Settings there are also multiple entries for these, with Shortcuts and Commands highlighted in red (means there are conflicts?). This is the QCAD/CAM version on Linux 32-bit Debian “testing” release. I also tried the same version on Windows 7 64-bit and am not seeing this issue. Screen shots attached.

Task Description

Hi,

I have a circle and circle is not round.
Unit of drawing is in metres and radius is set to 2.38.
The circle displays as a polygon instead.

 1467 QCAD/CAMBug ReportLow Short leader will not render the arrow Closed
100%
Task Description

Hi,

I tried to add a leader and for some reason the arrow does not appear. I found out that this occurs when the line is short. To me, line is sufficiently long enough but somehow QCAD thinks it is too short.

Screenshot shows added leader.

Also when I try to change arrow: no to “yes”, while the dropdown shows yes, I am not able to select it. It just defaults to no.

Workaround:
Draw longer line.

1 Task Description

With the attached DXF file, select Draw → Polyline → Create from Segments
(O, G) and click on the complex polyline inside the circle (eg on
the top left arc). Apolyline is created with a few segments,
and one or more segments are deleted!

Different segments are deleted depending on which segment is clicked.

QCAD/CAM version 3.16.7.1 (snapshot release)

QCAD/CAM version 3.16.7.1 for Ubuntu Linux starts up with a totally black screen with only the title bar showing. By clicking around at the top of the screen I can get the menus to drop down and appear over the blank black screen. That is how I captured all the version information below. QCAD/CAM version: 3.15.5.0 for Ubuntu Linux starts with all the normal screen graphics appearing normally. I labeled this bug report as critical because QCAD/CAM is unusable on Ubuntu Linux, but for me it is not so critical since I can use the Windows version.
