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

If I use the test drawing which I posted in 2013 ( FS#843 ) it works still as expected after it was fixed.
If I create a new block it won’t work in a new drawing nor in the old test drawing - no chance to snap to the Block Reference.

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.

2287 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Very Low | Evaluate draw order for preference "Prevent white-on-wh... | Assigned | |
|
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.

Is there any possibility to make the scrollbars smaller or just a line to separate the windows so that I have to navigate with Keyboard and mouse?
2. I thing the Viewports and the View List belongs together - is it possible to get a button in the “View List / Tool Bar” to choose a Viewport style instead of “walking” the long way over the “Drawing preferences” Menu?

3 |
Task Description
When working with multiple Viewports with different scale it could be very useful to have extra properties controlling how dimensions are rendered in the viewport:
1) E.g an extra “Dimension Scale” under “Scale” in the Viewport selection’s ‘Specific Properties’ section, could allow having the same size when printed. This Dimension Scale would be multiplied on top of the Scale value, but only for Dimensions rendering.
2) Toggle button for hiding any dimensions in the Viewport. Maybe this should be controlled by being able to specify a Layer that should be hidden in this Viewport only, then I could select my Dimensions layer here.

Hi, this is a usability feature request:
If you want to move an object relatively to any point (e.g. by entering @x;y in commandline) it does’nt make sense to enter a starting reference point. Of course this is possible by clicking to any location on the screen. But it’s difficult to change between mouse and keyboard so often.
It should be possible to enter a “don’t care” or “any” reference point by pressing a keyboard shortcut (e.g. enter like in AutoCAD).

1 |
Task Description
My system: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20GHz and 8 GB of RAM and NVIDIA GT218 (GeForce 210)
For a normal drawing displaying it in all detail is a good thing and the performance of my quad-core system is more than adequate.
But I discovered (or rather experienced) that when putting a large collection of individual drawings of gears onto one big sheet (960 mm x 600 mm - preparation for laser cutting), the performance was so bad that I had to wait several seconds (>10 sec) for each step in the process of arranging all the parts on the layer.
Request: It would be a big help and performance booster if you could disable the detailed view of each part/layer and only draw a rectangle to visualize the outline of the part.
Please take this in consideration. Attached you find an example of how that could look like. (Actually when pasting a drawing from the clipboard you already do that.)

Right now I can do it by hand, letter by letter, and that is a rather labour-intensive task.

Task Description
This is a trim method I am missing in Qcad.
20 years ago it existed in CadKey. You had a bunch of lines or segments. You defined a (new) line or segment as cutter. ‘Trim All’. You pointed at the side of the cutter entity to trim all intersecting at that side.
Pritty the same as in this topic: https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=5221
Only in rare cases I can use Husky’s workaround as pro. It all depends on what else is in the clipping rectangle that is needed to trim all intended. If of no use all single crossing entities have to be chosen one by one.

2307 | QCAD/CAM | Feature Request | Low | Tools to create dogbones or corner overcut | Assigned | |
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

Eine oft Hilfreiche Zeit/Klick sparende Erweiterung wäre eine “Total” Option bei dem “Lengthen” Tool.
Aktuell ist es mit dieser Funktion möglich ein Element zu verlängern oder zu verkürzen um den Amount X. Der Referenzpunkt (von welchem Ende) kann bestimmt werden.
Die Erweiterung die ich mir wünschen würde wäre auch ein “Total” um ein Element auf eine bestimmte Länge zu bringen ohne einen Taschenrechner benutzen zu müssen. Referenz (welches Ende oder Mitte) sollte (muss) dafür wählbar sein.
Die Funktion “Property editor” stellt bereits über die Geometry Eigenschaften die Möglichkeit zur Verfügung einen “Total” Wert zu manipulieren. Leider bin ich aber hierbei nicht in der Lage zu bestimmen welcher Element Referenzpunkt dafür benutzt werden soll. Könnte ich die Referenz wählen (welches Ende oder Mitte) wäre auch dies dann durchaus akzeptabel

Because modifying hatches have lag issues I’d like to propose a toggle that turns of the redrawing/rendering of the hatch. Especially while modifying the hatch.
The hatches always have a boundary that can be worked with right? So when we move or stretch the hatch we can still see the boundary and its handles to perform all the actions.
This could be a new view mode that turns of the view of the interior/pattern of the hatch but leave the boundary of the hatch. Or the draft mode can be extended to include simplified hatches while modifying.
