Task Description

If I switch a Block to invisible and use then the “Auto Zoom” in my drawing - the zoom cutout will appear like the block would still be visible :-(

Task Description

XP 32/ QCAD 3.1.6

Drawing Preferences - Dimension settings - “Keep proportion” setting changes will not be saved with the Drawing. :-(

Maybe you have to try it a couple times with the same drawing ;-)

 861 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow Widgets blends to early in ... Closed
100%
Task Description

I don’t know: Bug or Feature request ....

Example: If I move the “Library Browser” with the mouse closer than ~63px to the top corner it will go to blend in.
Undo doesn’t works in this case - so I have to pull it out and re-size the widget.

Usually it should blend in if I’m over the bar or at least I have to be much closer to the corner - or not?

860QCAD (main)Feature RequestLow"Create Library item from selection" default Path ...Assigned
0%
Task Description

Default Path for “Create Library item from selection” / “Save us” is C:\Programme\QCAD pro 3.1.6 ...
... regardless of the settings in the “Application Preferences / Library Browser / for Library Sources.
And QCAD doesn’t remember the last path choice ....

If I have to save 50 Library Items I have to navigate 50 times thru my system to find - the same place.

It would be nice if QCAD would point in first place to the Library Source or, at least, remember the last used path ... ;-)

859QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowPersistent selection button added to tool set.Assigned
0%
1 Task Description

It would be useful to have a persistent selection button added to the ‘selection’ tool set.

This would allow the user to set persistent selection as and when needed for the current drawing one is working on, rather than going the long route through the ‘Application’ preferences dialog.

 858 QCAD (main)Feature RequestLow Circle/Arc tangential on entities ... Closed
100%
Task Description

I’m not sure but if this is a duplicate please delete!

Feature Request:
It would be nice to have a tool what will help to draw tangential circles and arcs between other entities.

I imagine this tools with a three entities (circles, lines) selection or two entities plus a radius.

 857 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow Breakout / Autotrim not working Closed
100%
Task Description

Windows 7-64

Please see attached a simple test to demonstrate the problem.

Breakout tool

1. When selecting the top half of the circle - the top half of the circle ‘breaks’ out as expected.
2. When selecting the bottom half of the circle - the whole circle disappears!

Autotrim tool

1. When selecting the top half of the circle - the trim seems to work.

2. When selecting the bottom half of the circle - no trim happens at all!

 856 QCAD (main)Feature RequestLow Option to create a polyline from 'selected' entities on ...Closed
100%
Task Description

It would be useful to have an additional option in the polyline tool set to be able to create a polyline from selected entities only, without the need first for preparatory drafting measures.
Basic example attached.
You see here I want to create a polyline from only the selected lines, thus leaving the rest as separate line segments.

 855 QCAD (main)Feature RequestLow Scale dimension on/off option ... Closed
100%
Task Description

QCAD 3.1.5 - has a new “Dimensioning Scale adjustment option” (Property editor/Linear Factor). NICE!!! :-)

What means - we are now able to change the dimension scale for existing dims!

My Feature request refers to new dimensions and I think it would be perfect to have a “Scale Factor - On/Off Option” for all Dim Tools.

That would bring us in the position to copy / scale a part of our drawing for a detail view and we could just use us usual the dimensioning tools (with a scale factor) for the dimensioning task ....

0%
2 Task Description

If I move something and it went wrong I can easily undo the last move and start over without the need of a re-selection.
If I copy something and it went wrong I can undo the last copy but I have to re-select everything again.

It would be nice to keep the once chosen selection in both “undo” situation!

Same with similar functions like rotate etc. ....

 850 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow Splines not selectable Closed
100%
Task Description

Imported splines which typically represent lines, circles or arcs (explicit knot vector given) are sometimes wrongly identified as invalid by the OpenNURBS library.
This results in splines that are loaded and displayed correctly but are not selectable.

849QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowMake maximum visible reference points of selection conf...Assigned
0%
1 Task Description

Provide configuration option to raise / lower maximum reference points that are shown for selected entities (currently fixed to 1000).

Original report:

Imported a spline-dxf from adobe illustrator. Converted the spline to polyline with explode command. Then no anchor points / vertex points / vertices were showing anymore. Simplified the polyline so that it had less than 1000 points. Vertices became visible.

I think some freeform objects need actually more than 1000 vertices. Also them need to be edited. Please increase the amount of vertices showing to biginteger

regards

Benjamin

 848 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow Tool selection not as expected Closed
100%
Task Description

Tool selection does not behave as I would expect.

For example, opened existing file. Select Dimension Tools. Dimension Tools show. Select Vertical. Selection successful, and tools change to show dimension sub menu. (OK so far.)

Now hit Back twice to return to main tool menu. Select Modification Tools. Instead of seeing the modification tools menu, I see (again) the dimension tools sub menu. I have to hit Back once to see the modification tools menu.

Perhaps this behaviour is as intended, but it is very annoying.

 846 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow Auto Trim at an arc ... Closed
100%
Task Description

If I have to “Auto trim” a line between to construction (or what ever ;-)) lines the Auto Trim function works as expected!

If I use the same constellation with an arc the Auto trim function will give me an uncontrolled, unexpected result ;-)


 845 QCAD (main)Feature RequestLow Scale factor for dimensions Closed
100%
Task Description

Introduce scale factor for linear dimension entities.

Original request was:

It would be nice to have the possibility to enter dimensions in the form of a formula and still show up as a ‘normal’ dimension.
This would greatly help in creating details in a different scale (say, 5:1) than the rest of the drawing.
Creating details is quite often necessisary for small objects (when lines are too close together to distinguish at 1:1) if the drawing must be legible to mere humans...

Now one must calculate and manually enter all dimensions for the detail after scaling (and re-calculate every time something gets modified), this is quite error prone.
Exploding the dimensions before scaling is not a real option: the arrowheads and texts then get scaled, too, wich is undesirable.
Scaling back, modifying and then repeating the process is also not quite on the mark: small errors creep in due to finite precision in the calculations made during the scaling.

 844 QCAD (main)Feature RequestLow user defined line styles and weights Closed
100%
Task Description

It would be nice to have the possibility to design and use your own line styles, in addition to the built-in ones.
Also nice to have are user defined line weights, in addition to the built-in ones.

 842 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow Hatch Scale Problem Closed
100%
Task Description

Hello,
We previously had troubles with hatch scaling which you fixed with the example Modifier: ExFixHatchScale.js

Unfortunately, we can no longer find this extension on the web site’s “Add On” page. We have the extension
from previous downloads but can not find out where to install it on a Mac running Lion.

Can you please describe how to install this fix on a Mac or provide us with a similar fix for our Mac?

Thank you,
Dylan

Had to re-install XUbuntu, now 13.04 64 bit instead of 12.04 32 bit. Now qcad 3.0.0 professional isn’t working any more (bash won’t execute qcad-bin), even after fresh re-install. I tried qcad-3.0.0-prof-linux-alt-x86.tar.gz and qcad-3.0.0-prof-linux-x86.tar.gz downloaded 20.07.2012 (I can not download anything and can not get updates because payment is more than 12 months ago).

836QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowMerge different Offset tools into just twoAssigned
0%
Task Description

Merge Parallel Line(with distance), Concentric Arc(with distance), Concentric Circle(with distance) and Offset(Polyline) into one generic Offset with distance tool that if possible also works for ellipses and splines.

Do the same for the “through point” tools so that there also is just one Offset through point tool.

The Offset tools could be located with the Modification tools.

 835 QCAD (main)Feature RequestLow And shortcut to change value in Option toolbar Closed
100%
Task Description

Pressing TAB should directly activate the corresponding text-field if a tool is activated where a numerical value can be set in the Option toolbar.
Pressing TAB again should select the next text-field in the Option toolbar.

If the last text-field in the toolbar is activated pressing TAB should deactivate the text-field. Pressing TAB one more time after this should again activate the first text-field.

 834 QCAD (main)Feature RequestLow Merge Line from 2 Points and Line from Angle Tools Closed
100%
Task Description

Add the options from the Option toolbar the Line from Angle tool to the Options toolbar of Line from 2 Points.

As long the user does not set a value for Angle or Length the tool acts just like Line from 2 Points. During this time the values are automatically filled in corresponding to the line preview on canvas.
Once the user enters a value to into the field for Angle or Length this value is fixed and only the other one can be modified on the canvas.
Of course the user can also define both values by typing in the values.

833QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowMove number of copies into Options toolbarAssigned
0%
Task Description

The Number of Copies (Delete Original, Keep Original, Multiple Copies) and whether to use the current layers attributes should be found in the Options toolbar of the active tool.

This way the option would be set before or during the operation (preview?)the popup window afterwards would be obsolete.

832QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowAdd shortcut to fastly enter ortho modeAssigned
0%
Task Description

When drawing or moving objects holding down CTRL should activate ortho snapping as long as CTRL is pressed.

If ortho mode has been active before holding down CTRL should deactivate it (for the time it is beeing pressed).

829QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowAdditional options for the Info Tool Area ...Assigned
0%
1 Task Description

The Info Tool Polygonal Area is a helpful tool ... but I like to ask for additional options ;-)

Yes, the polygonal area makes absolute sense but many times you have just to check a square or rectangle area!

It would be nice and time (click) saving if we could use a “Strg Key” to limit the polygonal area to just a rectangle area.
Two mouse clicks for a rectangle area and done ;-)

In addition to that it would be nice to have the possibility to count up or down a couple areas.
E.g. I measure area 1 plus area 2 or area 1 minus area 2 ...
Maybe just with an additional keystroke like + or -

 828 QCAD (main)Feature RequestLow Handle to reposition CAD Tools Closed
100%
Task Description

CAD Tools could have a small handle that would make it possible to drop them in a different location.
This should not be a header with title, maximize and close buttons like normal dropable windows have.
Instead it should be a (dotted) line similar to the one normal toolbars have.

 825 QCAD (main)Feature RequestLow Move non single straight line away from Line Tools Closed
100%
Task Description

Line Tools menu would be way clearer as it would only create single straight lines.

This can be achieved by implementing FS#822 and  FS#824 .

 824 QCAD (main)Feature RequestLow Rectangle and Polygon should (optionally) produce Polyl ...Closed
100%
Task Description

First of all it would make it easy to move them in one piece.
And if additionally FS#823 is implemented (with the option to easily stretch orthogonal to the selected line) this would improve the handling of Rectangles and Polygons significantly.

The tools could then be moved to Polyline Tools or maybe get their own category called Polygon Tools with a Rectangle as Icon.

823QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowAdd Midpoint Handles to Lines and PolylinesAssigned
0%
1 Task Description

The Midpoint Handles should be used to move Polyline Segments and lines. This would add easy to access stretch functionality.
Combined with a shortcut(hold down shift or alt etc.) to fix the movement to be orthogonal to the line this would bring a lot of extra value.
It would also be possible to to have another shortcut to easily insert nodes to Polylines (again hold shift or alt etc.)

822QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowmove Freehand Line to Polyline ToolsAssigned
0%
Task Description

In order to be more easily editable after creation Freehand Line should produce a Polyline and should be moved away from Line Tools to Polyline Tools

817QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowSnap and cut all intersection in a given area tool ...Assigned
0%
Task Description

As we all know - from time to time - it is a lot of work to prepare a part of a drawing for a hatch.
To get rid of one of the basic task (cutting lines along the desired hatch boundary) it would be nice to have an add-on - or what ever - what would cut ALL intersection in a drawing (or just on one layer, or just based on a selection etc.) with just a mouse click. Then it would be much faster and easier to do the selection for the hatch boundaries.
The user could decide to make it directly in his drawing or he like to duplicate the drawing to an extra layer where this function will be used ....

Clive mentioned on this:
Maybe a tool like this could be an additional ‘Snap’ selection option - select all snap intersections or select snap intersections within a boundary! then as you suggest ‘cut’ at the intersection points.

813QCAD (main)Feature RequestLowNew Snap tool: Isometric coordinates ...Assigned
0%
Task Description

It would be nice to have an additional Coordinate tool for isometric constructions.

If I’m working on an isometric drawing I have to design my things with x, y, z coordinates.
Y is, of course not a problem but for x and z I have most off the time to work with construction lines for move, copy, locate etc.
With an isometric coordinate snap tool what will follow the 30° angles for x and z we could save a lot of construction lines ;-)

Task Description

QCAD 3.0 / 3.1

Test case:
set relative zero,
choose rectangle RE tool,
choose snap tool coordinate,
Now QCAD is asking for the x,y coordinates and my thinking was it will just use them for the start point (what I’m looking for!) - but .... QCAD will use the given coordinates for the Start point of the rectangle(right!) AND as size for the rectangle(wrong!) ;-)
