923 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Diagramming (Intelligent Orthogonal Connectors) | Assigned | |
2 |
Task Description
Hi,
With the new block attribute feature available in QCAD 3.3, there’s little to be done in order to make QCAD a good environment for typesetting circuits and other diagrams. In particular, the only killer feature that lasts is support for connectors: orthogonal lines that connecting one endpoint to another creates a connection line; when the concerned entities are moved the connection line is re-arranged. I’d like to know whether commercial support for this feature is available.

Absolutely love the new options for adding the measurements in the current drawing.
I would like to see an additional option for only adding the text and not the lines also, maybe a simple check box would suffice here.
Of course at the moment I am able to use the property editor to select only the lines and move to a new layer and hide!

Task Description
When exporting to SVG it would be helpful if there was a selection of layers to export. E.g. when selecting only layer A in the SVG export dialog, only the objects located/displayed on layer A would be exported to SVG.
As an alternative or additional export feature, there could be an option to export each (non-empty) layer to a separate SVG in one step. The layer names could be used as (part of the) default file names during the export. E.g. Layer A of file XYZ would be exported to “XYZ_A.SVG” while layer B would be exported to “XYZ_B.SVG” etc.

if I need to design a bolt circle (circle on circle) and the single bolt diameter and the quantity of circles are given then I can use the QCAD Polygon Tool “Polygon 2 Points of Side” ... but for the Length of the side I have to do a workaround (Line with this length) to determine the desired length.
It would be very convenient to have an additional tool for a Polygon which has the possibility to ask me for the center, corners and the length of the sides.

Task Description
When working with several files is normal also to work in several folders, this can be confusing, expecially in the case where there are different folders with equal file names. I propose the creation of a “Open file location”. This, probably under the main menu, “File”, when clicked would open the standard “file explorer” with the folder that contains the current file already selected. It would be quite similar to the windows 8/10 “Open file location”.

1473 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | "Partial" circular/radial dimensions | Assigned | |
2 |
Task Description
This is kind of related to FS#952, or rather a superset of it.
Consider the situation in the attached image. There is a perfectly good, albeit really shallow arc, making the radius somewhere in the vicinity of 600 millimeters, and the radial dimension being drawn accordingly.
Considering the other dimensions of the part, this is completely unusable, even to work with, really, but definitely so when it needs to be put on paper.
It would be nice to have some sort of “partial” (for my lack of a better word) radial/diametric dimensions where the dimension length can be adjusted.
Considering that this can be done with Leader, maybe a better (more generic) solution would be for Leader type dimensions to have options so they could automatically generate labels for various dimensions of a selected entity – sort of like having the Prefix/Tolerance/Scale options the other dimensions have, and have some additional fields there for selected entity and maybe dimension type (for example, radial or diametric for an arc-type entity).

It would be extreamly useful to have an option to either use - or not use leader lines in the standard horizontal/vertical dimension line tools, some of the drawings I’m working on need the ‘standard’ looking dimensions with leader lines and some don’t. its a real pain to have to select - explode and delete all the leaders I don’t need.
Hoping for an option

1663 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Feature Request: Export Layers as New Drawing | Assigned | |
2 |
Task Description
Hi!
in many tasks in qcad I ended up exporting one or several layers into individual files for some cnc jobs or further processing. So the steps I usually do are:
select all elements on the layer
paste into new drawing
sometimes rename layer names or attributes
adjust dimension settings
save and give name for drawing
Sometimes I have up to 100 layers I need to export like this, so an automatic export for all would be time saving too. But very often a “single click” export method would also help a lot. (e.g. inside the layer list an entry in the right click menue like “save as new file”). Also a multiple selection would be handy if more that one layer should end up in the new file. (e.g. select the three layers that need to be in the new document, then right click and save as new file). Maybe this is too much of changes needed inside the layer list - so something like a separate layer export dialogue would make sense.
When exporting many layers some variables for automatic naming of layers and filename would make sense e.g. user can specify basename_%L.dxf to get the basename_layername.dxf or just an increasing number.
For layers and attributes it is often needed to give a layer a certain name or color for different cnc processes (e.g. engraving and cutting for lasers) or to put everything on layer “0” because of some old CAM software that only supports content on layer 0.
probably many more details would make sense that I didn’t think of yet...
kind regards Martin

Task Description
Zooming in and out is lagging to the point of unusable. This is happening in a layout block with the cursor pointing inside geometry with hatches. When the cursor is pointing outside the geometry zooming works as expected. The attached file has a very simplified testcase that shows this problem almost in the same way as a more complex drawing with multiple layers and hatches.
edit: I also attached the more complex drawing because it is a bit unclear to me where the lagging stops. Outside the viewport or outside the paper.
I just noticed the selection box has the same problem!

2091 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Toggle redrawing of hatches | Assigned | |
2 |
Task Description
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.

2127 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Snap for predicted intersections while using "Restrict ... | Assigned | |
2 |
Task Description
I would like to request a new kind of snap: a “Restricted Intersection” snap that appears at the point where an entity would intersect with a line drawn from Relative Zero that fulfills the current EL criteria. “Restricted Intersection” snaps would be similar to other Relative Zero-based snaps (like “Perpendicular” and “Tangential”), but would predict the point of the snap from the EL constraints instead of the characteristics of the entity being snapped to. Naturally a value of 0 for angle or length would result in that constraint being ignored.
Additional operational flexibility could be achieved by allowing the snap to exist regardless of whether EL is actually in use. To be useful this would probably require determining snap locations based on angle OR length as opposed to angle AND length.
Implementing this new snap would allow, for example, for easily drawing a line of unknown (but determinable) length at a specified angle between a given point and a given entity (see discussion here), with the “Restricted Intersection” snap ensuring that the endpoint of the new line forms an intersection with the entity in question. Currently the same goal can be achieved a couple of different ways, but they all involve at least two separate steps.

2354 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | copy-paste between two QCAD instances | Assigned | |

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

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
