Task Description
Hi Andrew,
I was fiddeling around with a copy of the hpgl postprocessor, and has it adapted, up and running for a HP7580 penplotter. You may add this to QCAD if you like.
Poking and peeking in the other postprocessor files, I found enough information to generate a very acceptable hpgl.plt file now, including the required pen changes.
The purpose of a ‘bracket-field’ (as [S] ) is clear to me. Where are [S#] and [S!] used for?

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

Pick any reference point of a vertex.
Place it on any of its neighboring vertex reference points.
A null-segment is created.
The placement can not be undone by re-picking the reference point.
Can be Undone/Redone.
The action can result from editing the vertex coordinates.
When exploding null-entities are created.
This action should delete:
- if the target is next: the picked vertex. (incl. start or end-1)
- if the target is prior: the targetted vertex. (incl. start or end-1)
- if the target is and next and prior: both the prior and the picked vertex.
As the user intentionally places any vertex reference points on:
- any excluding its neighbors:
→ the intented nature is ‘Self-Touching’, ‘Self-Crossing’ or ‘Trace-Back’.
- any of its neighbors:
→ the intention is to delete the segment(s).

2075 | QCAD (main) | Suggestion | Low | Draw order bug after insert bit map | Closed | |
|
Task Description
First post, so please excuse if I missed some forum rules etc...
I insert bit maps and trace over them to create DXF files for laser cutting burnout templates. If the edge of the bit map is coincident with a line I have drawn, it is not possible to select the line for offsetting, trimming etc. This is regardless of the draw order or handle number. It seems to happen most if the edge of the image and line are coincident with the X or Y origin. I also use fairly fat lines to make it easy to see. My default line width is 1mm. Not sure if that affects selection or not, but fatter lines don’t help the issue at hand.
Steps to reproduce...
insert bitmap at 0,0
draw horizontal and vertical lines starting at 0,0. (my lines are usually longer than the edges of the bitmap.
try to select one of the lines for offsetting. (Select the line in the area of the bitmap. There is no problem selecting the line where it extends past the edge of the bitmap.)
It does not matter if I insert the bitmap first and then draw lines, or draw lines first, insert bitmap and then change the draw order so the lines are on top. It is also not consistent on which axis is affected. It is usually both X & Y, but sometimes just one or the other.
Workaround is select the bitmap, then move it by 0.001 in any direction. Now the edges are no longer coincident and you can select your lines. The alternate workaround is to insert the image on another layer and then turn that layer off when you need to select a line on the edge of the bitmap.

2140 | QCAD (main) | Suggestion | Low | Changing navigation mode for mouse wheel doesn't change... | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
Looks like error, but may be that’s feature request.
CAD software uses typical navigation behavior as:
Wheel = Zoom; Ctrl+Wheel = Scroll up/down; Shift+Wheel = Scroll left/right.
Any other software like browsers, office software (openoffice writer, ms excel and so on), 2d paint software like GIMP (Photoshop and so on) uses other behavior:
Wheel = Scroll up/down; Ctrl+Wheel = Zoom; Shift+Wheel = Scroll left/right.
Users, that intensively use CAD and other software simultaneously prefer to make same behavior in their applications switching CAD scroll to plain mouse wheel.
QCAD’s “Application Preferences”: “Graphics View: Navigation”: “Mouse wheel/ two finger swipe”: “Scroll” allow user to assign scroll up/down to wheel mouse instead of Zoom. But there is mistake Ctrl+Wheel didn’t change to Zoom. Ctrl+Wheel continues to scroll up/down, as the wheel.
Wheel = Scroll up/down; Ctrl+Wheel = Scroll up/down; Shift+Wheel = Scroll left/right. No zoom!
Draw manipulation at this mode like a hell: you need to use wheel in conjunction with Ctrl/Shift to point draw in desired position, than move your hand to +(-) for make desired zoom.

Andrew,
unrelated to any OS or version.
Circles do explode to polylines with two arc segments.
Discussed earlier and very correct because a full circle bulge would be a mathematical limit situation.
When there is no option to ‘Undo’ anymore or when the file was saved & loaded there is no easy way back.
One of the reasons why I isolate circle entities if I might going to use XP as in the file here:
https://qcad.org/bugtracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=2155
Even knowing it, I still make more mistakes as I would like.
It would be nice to be able to exclude circle entities from the GUI explosion action XP.
Can be simply implemented in the top of Explode.explodeSelection with an extra preference in AppPrefs, default =true.
On the other hand, the explosions of circles used internally in various methods should remain.

It would be a very interesting feature to add to future versions.

The core BOM accepts formula fields and we can easily calculate the mass of a part, with some Ifs and math.
The BOM that is shown in the actual drawing is more simplistic, and has just Part number, Quantity, Mass and the Description. But it’s related to the “core BOM”.
It’s a very interesting thing! It would be great on QCad.

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.

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.

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.

Summary: Block zoomstate supersedes Model_Space after Undo of BC
QCAD Professional
Version: 3.25.2.1 (3.25.2.1)
Internet: QCAD.org
Build Date: Oct 15 2020
Revision: 2895712
Qt Version: 5.13.2
Architecture: i386

With the file provided:
ZW to see the top green ‘revision cloud’ up close
QQ
Box select around the cloud
»> 2 entities in selection
BC, select origin somewhere inside the selection, accept proposed naming
»> ‘Block 1’ is created from the selection
TN
BD, select the newly created Block Reference
»> Auto zoom of ‘Block 1’ (Intended behavior)
OO
»> Returns to Model_Space with the zoomstate of the removed Block
»> Halfway down the drawing
»> The former zoomstate of the Model_Space is lost
Intended behavior is that the zoomstate of Model_Space and Blocks don’t mix
See: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=7797&p=30371#p30378
This proves they do, even if the block doesn’t exists anymore.

Same file.
In the left example one can break out segment (D2):
- removing one of the loops with the ‘remove’ option.
- leaving both without the ‘remove’ option.
Bug?
Without the ‘remove’ option it can’t be undone.

|
Task Description
Polyline from segments (OG):
The StatusTip reads:
“Create polyline from existing, connected line and arc segments”.
The CommandPrompt and LeftMouseTip both read:
“Choose line or arc segment or polyline”.
The tool let us pick 4 types of entities:
... A line, an arc, a polyline and also a spline entity.
If the picked entity is not one of these 4 types we get the warning message:
“Entity is not a line, arc or polyline.”
The tool prepends/appends 4 types of entities:
line, arc and polyline entities and also spline entities approximated by arcs.
Wouldn’t it be more appropriate if the tool mention all 4 types?
e.g.
StatusTip:
“Create polyline from existing, connected lines, arcs, polylines and splines”
CommandPrompt, LeftMouseTip:
“Choose line or arc segment or polyline or spline”
Warning:
“Entity is not a line, arc, polyline or spline.”

Task Description
Andrew,
For the dutch translations:
- The tooltip for the close icon of a tab is “Close tab”
- When the drawing was changed the confirmation dialog second option is “Discard”
“Verwerpen” or “Niet opslaan”.
... Reading several discussions the latter is the better translation.
- Found in the Drawing Prefs and also used in the App.Prefs (DIMLUNIT):
> Bewerken
.> Tekeningsvoorkeuren
..> Bemating
...> Bematingsvoorkeuren
....> Tekstformaat
.....> Liniaire bemating
This must be “Lineaire bemating”

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.

|
Task Description
See attached.
In the “layer list” header qcad uses a pencil icon for “edit layer”.
But the exact same symbol means something different just below.
In the layer list the pencil seems to mean “current layer”, and it not clickable,
though the eye icon next door is.
In short: it’s confusing that clicking the pencil in the layer list does not, say, edit the layer.

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.

CVH

Task Description
I only noticed today (perhaps they were available earlier?) that there are 64 bit binaries for windows; I suppose these are true 64 bit.
Yet, the installer prompts me to put them into “Programs (x86)”, where all the 32bit software lives, I guess - this seems to be a pure convention though, the application runs just fine.
Maybe the reason is, that the 32bit version was installed before; Maybe it should change? Maybe it should stay, so that there are not two?

137 | QCAD (main) | Refactoring | Low | SVG Export precision | Closed | |
|
Task Description
In files exported with the (even PG) exporter I sometimes see values like these: 334.99999999999994 or 570.0000000000001 and very often 12 digits of precision.
To safe on file size, I suggest, that QCAD rounds values on SVG export to eg. three places. When viewed in an ordinary web browser, that will result in a precision of 1 inch / 96dpi / 1000 = 0.00026mm, not? Ends should still meet.
