Task Description

It would be nice if QCAD spit some kind of warning message when trying to render a layer with a name that doesn’t exist (and perhaps render nothing), rather than silently rendering an empty image. :D

1 Task Description

I find myself with reasonable regularity needing to change the background color between black and white. It would be much more efficient to have a toggle button on the ribbon to make this sort of instant (kind of like the “screen based line types” button works but make it for background color and just between black and white or let people define their dark and light themes and toggle the background between the two.

2287QCAD (main)Feature RequestVery LowEvaluate draw order for preference "Prevent white-on-wh...Assigned
0%
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.

1 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.

1 Task Description

Andrew,
On behalf of user Kmeelo

Polygonal Area adds measurements text with 12 decimal digits and then as short as possible.

Current formatting path see: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=10450&p=42833#p42805

Related forum feature request: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=10458

I also see a misconception of the term ‘precision’.
Numbers precision is the amount of significant digits disregarding the position of the decimal point.
12 decimal digits is about the largest precision for numbers with 5 integer digits.

2 Task Description

See:
https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=10379

Could you add “plain text paste” as ctrl-shift-V
Why? Because sometimes the clipboard comes in with rich text formatting that’s anti-helpful.
The workaround is to paste into a plain text editor, or the console, then recopy and repaste into qCad.

Either way the ctrl-shift-V shortcut is useful for those trained on other software but:
one could also argue that qCad should NEVER take rich text, and rather only accept the plain text with both CTRL-V and CTRL-SHIFT-V.

— CHV says

Agreed, having encountered it numerous times while documenting with text snippets from elsewhere. :roll:
Even copying Info measurements from the Command Line are Rich Text.

The best place to file a feature request is QCAD Bugtracker:
https://www.ribbonsoft.com/bugtracker/ You may need a different account there or make a new one.

May I remark that Ctrl-Shift-V is already in use for Paste along Entity (PE)
But not when the Text Editor Widget has the focus and dialog Widgets are always modal on a Win OS system. :wink:
Still, I’ll vote for it in any way.:P

2021QCAD (main)Performance IssueVery LowCannot work with big dwg filesAssigned
0%
Task Description

Openning a big file or doing any action in it, takes minutes to load.
Even dragging the scrollbar slightly left or right, takes mintues to redraw the canvas again, which makes QCAD un-usable for professional use.
Is there a way to make QCAD usable, after loading completed:
- Like suppressing edit until user says so,
- or taking snapshots of rendered canvases to another file and use it, as windows uses thumb.db ( for negative latency :P )

PS: I wish I could help a bit, but my hand are tied. I am just a java freak, I am opt to any idea of porting it to java, if she is still alive.

2011QCAD Community EditionSuggestionVery LowUpdate QCAD CE SpatialIndex module to latest versionAssigned
0%
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.

This proves they do, even if the block doesn’t exists anymore.

2541QCAD (main)SuggestionVery LowConsider the unit "Microinch" to be non-metricAssigned
0%
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.

CVH
