[SOLVED] FlexPainter for Revision Clouds in QCAD 3.29.4.0

Post by QwiqDraw » Mon Mar 18, 2024 3:12 pm

Hi,
Can FlexPainter still be used with QCAD 3.29.4.0? I briefly played with it probably over a year ago. It is now greyed out under the
Misc/Script Examples/Mathematics/... menu.

I am looking for an easy method of creating revision clouds around changes in my drawings.

Thank you

Hi,

Most likely yes, it runs just fine under QCAD 3.29.4.0 on Windows.
And probably yes for MacOs using QT6 there I see a commit to the code by Andrew regarding that.

Remark that tools that require a selecting are grayed out without an existent selection.
FlexPainter mimics a roller stamp and requires a base entity as a trajectory to follow.

One can delete the base entity(-ies) in one go with an non-persistent option in the dialog.

Regards,
CVH

Hi CVH,

Selecting an entity solved it for me! Works great. Much easier than creating them manually.


Sincerely,
