Followed all instructions.
No dice.
No matter what I throw in the /usr/share/qcad/libraries
folder, nothing ever shows up.

Any ideas?

Sorry, those are Windows-style addresses. No good for us Linux users... Biggocharley: 1- Make sure you have the library view turned on. View -> Views -> Library Browser (checked) 2- You'll find relevant folders at /usr/share/qcad but you're correct, the library folder is missing. If (from QCad) you ...

OK, after a little more digging, it looks like it is purely a QT issue.

I am going to make QCad with a custom compile of QT3 that has relevant changes to "qprinter.cpp"

wish me luck, and I'll post my results if it works...

OK, now I'm stumped. I built Qcad just fine. It lets me select US paper sizes in the drawing preferences. But it still lists the default sizes in the print dialog, and I have searched the sources for where the print dialog gets its paper sizes, but I can't find anything. I am using the CUPS-pdf prin...

OK, in ./qcadlib/src/engine/rs.h, add the following code under "Paper formats" (I put mine between 'Executive' and 'A0') AnsiB, AnsiC, AnsiD, AnsiE, ArchA, ArchB, ArchC, ArchD, ArchE1, ArchE, This same list of sizes separated by commas can be put in $QTDIR/include/qprinter.h under "enum PageSize", t...

Thanks for the tip. I don't know what -pedantic does, but I read somewhere that adding -Wno-long-long to your make options suppressed those errors as well.

As if I know how to do that...

OK, it worked... almost. If you don't stick the same papersize names in $QTDIR/qprinter.h it says "[papersize] is not a member of qprinter.h". Now I'm getting the "ISO C++ does not support long long" error. Looks like someone else found a workaround, I'll post my results later. If anyone's intereste...

That certainly would be a nice way to do what you need, but there is a way that is not much more difficult... First, make sure your drawing preferences are set to A3. In Print Preview, adjust the scale (a box with numbers in it on your toolbar somewhere) until the white box (your paper) is approxima...

I don't have all the answers, but I have some tips for some... #3-If you did a trace with something like AutoTrace or Adobe Illustrator's trace function, you will have Splines rather than lines and there will be extra control points, so watch out. To move the endpoints of lines, select a line and it...

I was afraid you were going to say that...

If I knew more about programming, it would be sweet to change the paper size definitions to a function which loaded them from a config file.
Preferably a .rc file in ~/.qcad.

Any takers? :)

US Paper sizes

As I have understood from asking similar questions in other forums, the obvious answer would be to simply use "real" paper sizes. :D But seriously, it would be nice to have US Architectural and Engineering paper sizes as options, as I am using QCad community edition to draw plans for my deck AND I l...
