QCAD Professional Win installer 32 Version: 3.25.2.7 (3.25.2.7) Internet: QCAD.org Build Date: Dec 16 2020 Revision: e06f230 Qt Version: 5.13.2 Architecture: i386 Compiler: Unknown
Discovered in 3.25.2.4, reproducible under 3.25.2.7
Draw any open or closed chain of line entities. Select All. OC to Polyline. Step through vertices.
No example file provided because these NaN values are not saved to a file. More pronounced with lines as with arcs. Less pronounced when recombining after an explosion. Some methods clear these to value = void. Some methods clear these to zero (OR). Can also occur when adding segments to an existing polyline with OC.

Not related to OS, nor version.
The method Polyline from Segments (OC) can be configured for tolerance and simplification in the Options Toolbar. The method Polyline from Selection (OG) has no UI or none showing.
OG retrieves a tolerance from QCAD.ini, what is initially not set:
var tolerance = RSettings.getDoubleValue("PolylineFromSelection/Tolerance", 0.001);
The tolerance will be default = 0.001 similar as the default in AppPrefs. The tolerance setting is included in QCAD.ini after changing the AppPrefs entry.
OG calls PolylineFromSelection.autoJoinSegments with this tolerance:
var counter = PolylineFromSelection.autoJoinSegments(di, tolerance, this);
PolylineFromSelection.autoJoinSegments calls PolylineFromSegments.createPolylineShape with simplification hard coded to true. (last parameter)
// create polyline from line, arc, spline or open polyline entity:
var polyline = PolylineFromSegments.createPolylineShape(
entity, doc, vTolerance, op, undefined,
traversed, callBacks, undefined, true);
I would like to see the simplification optional and default = true.

My system/installation saves black as #4c000 (dark red)

The core BOM accepts formula fields and we can easily calculate the mass of a part, with some Ifs and math.
The BOM that is shown in the actual drawing is more simplistic, and has just Part number, Quantity, Mass and the Description. But it’s related to the “core BOM”.
It’s a very interesting thing! It would be great on QCad.

2272 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Support unit "US survey foot" | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
In the US, it is (unfortunately) still common to use US survey foot. It seems at least some DXF applications/libraries support this unit as a $INSUNITS value, some references:
There are two issues regarding this with QCAD:
If you open a document with $INSUNITS being 21, it’s reset to 0 (unitless/unspecified) when saved again, even when not changing anything.
It is not possible to select these units in the GUI.
I don’t know about standardization of these values, but my hope is that it’s at least possible to preserve the unit in an existing drawing. Given that this unit is supposed to be obsolete in some years, it might seem less important, but due to this transition, it might get even more important to be able to distinguish between units. Thanks!

As a heavy mechanical drawings user, it would help a lot to have an option to exit a block saving as a new name and making it a new entity from that time ahead.
Example: if a have a lot of screws, one of then is behind another peace and need the to have some lines changed to hidden style lines, in the flow of the work is great if I edit that screw in place and when exiting have the option to save as a new block, to don’t mess with other entities of the same block that I don’t want to change. Yes, there is a workaround that is duplicate and rename the block prior to the editing, but a save as seems to work easier.
Thanks Andrew and team!

Task Description
I have set the grid/snap value to X=.0625 Y=.0625 on all 4 viewports. When zooming in and out the grid/snap scale changes from .0625 to 3.90625. at this point the grid/snap points differ, This causes a variation in the grid/snap reference points lending to drawing errors.
example When I use the grid settings defaults .01, when zooming in and out, the grid/snap scaling doesn’t seem to have this issue. Other values do, See below.
set value first zoom second zoom next zoom
point point point ...
0.01 0.1 1.0 10.0 ... 0.02 0.04 0.4 4.0 ... 0.04 0.16 1.6 16.0 ... 0.05 0.25 2.5 25.0 ... 0.0625 0.390625 3.90625 39.0625 ... 0.0254 0.64516 6.4516 64.516 ...
Why is there a squaring of the original set value? Which then becomes a new zoomed grid/snap value?

1 |
Task Description
Hi,
I believe prior QCAD version 3.22.0.0 there was no rotating preview. The rotating preview shows the outcome regarding to the chosen center point. I know that it is also common for move/copy. However, for me it is very confusing and difficult to chose the correct center point for a rotation if I’m constantly been distracted by the most of the time overlapping preview of my selection. This said if the drawing is very detailed I have to zoom in extremely to be able to snap to the right entity. That wouldn’t be necessary without the preview. Additional rotate a large drawing selections will compromise the performance - CPU is going like crazy.
It would be nice to have an option to turn this preview on/off.

QCAD (before version 3.27?) used to show some custom XDATA, e.g. tag 1000, even for application names that are not “QCAD”, which for me was useful, so it’s somewhat of a regression. (I think it was broken when selecting multiple items, maybe that’s why it was removed.)
I suggest to bring that feature back, but maybe show it only when a single element is selected if that’s easier.

It might be useful to have the possibility to manage the references of the images contained within the drawing. A design could use recurring images, stored in a folder outside the one in which the design is located.

I imagine the possibility to view the references of the images (and if necessary modify manually or with a pointer) with the option of: attach, detach, reload, etc., as in the example below (referred to ActCad - based on Intellicad technology)

Task Description
Hello,
I’ve quite often the task to transfer changes from one set of drawings to another (similar) set. My ideal setup would be to open one set in one window and the other set in another window. Both windows would be arranged side-by-side (larger monitor). Changes would be copy-pasted from one set to the other.
From #2352 I’ve learned that there is a command-line option to achieve this.
Unfortunately it’s not possible to copy-paste between these instances.
And yes, it’s important to do this in two windows to see both versions at the same time. So, tabs are not the answer.
It’s also ok if i could detach a tab from one instance and arrange it aside of the main window (like the property editor). Than all data transfers would happen inside the same instance.
Best regards, Klaus

We can’t filter on some specific properties of polylines.
Handy would be: - Global Width - Orientation

For some post-op I just need them all to be set to ‘No’. - # of vertices Filtering the complex from the more simple ones. - Including Bulges or not To seperate polylines with arc segments form others. There some operations that don’t really work with bulging. - Z values and/or global Z This would make sense for some but filtering on Z is not common under QCAD as it is 2D.
