Task Description
Hi Andrew,
I’m not sure whether this has been added or suggested already. It would be great to have a built in QCAD table tool for producing cutting lists or bill of materials etc. A dedicated table tool would be a real boost to QCAD Pro ;)
Many thanks

Hi Andrew,
Currently the only option to insert a viewport is using the central insertion point, for better placement it would be useful to have an option to insert viewports at any of the four corners in addition to the centre.
Hope that makes sense.

Task Description
Hi Andrew,
we know that you need to have always software performance in your mind to decide which features / tools can / should be implemented and on which way.
I really appreciate your effort to find the best middle way between software features and performance but I think also it’s a tough call to appraise worldwide the overall customer equipment to make the software workable to the best for everybody. That isn’t possible without compromise.
Maybe it would make sense to think about a new dialog in the “Application Preferences” to let the user decide what kind of feature are absolutely needed regarding to his/her work-task / equipment. I don’t mean that you need to cover every single thing but the main “performance jeopardy’s” should be covered with an on/off switch.
Yes I know - that isn’t done in 5 minutes but I think that can make your life easier in the long run and will cover even more customer.
Just my two cents. ;)

There is the Synchronize attributes feature which works well. But It affects only block references in the active layout(modelspace, block layout).

1870 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Stretch tool / option to turn selection restriction on... | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Hi,
since 3.19.2 the Stretch tool looks for any selection and follows the specification “Only stretch selected entities if there is a selection”.
That is a nice feature but it leads many times to confusing because I have to deselect a selection just because I need to use the stretch tool on something else on the fly. The same if I “forgot” a selection outside of my zoom which is still important for me. The stretch tool just won’t work without any message why not. My routine now is that I terminate every selection just before I use the stretch tool just not to be surprised by “why isn’t it working”?
It would be nice to have in the Stretch option bar a checkbox to turn the “only selection feature” on or off. QCAD should remember that setting.

Task Description
My data files are stored on network shares (synology) with a GB link. QCAD Pro is run in Admin mode.
While in my Windows browser all remote shares are accessible (Green), in the QCAD file open menu they are initially shown as not accessible (Red). By accessing a specific drawing file in a remote share, the share will open and turn green.
Same behavior using ‘Open recent’. Always the message is given that the requested file does not exist, and the file is wiped from the ‘Recent Open’ list. Only if the share is first accessed through ‘Open’ with a random file, it will turn and a ‘recent open’ file for that share will open.
Drag and Drop from a remote share will never work.

1903 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Saving layer settings, e.g. visibility status, associat... | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
In a medium complex drawing it may be too much details to have all layers in a drawing visible at once.
Instead a number of views would be created that saves not only zoom level and position but also what layers are visible and not (as appropriate for the purpose of that particular view). This is very cumbersome (to the extent it is not really realistic) to achieve today and requires a lot of duplication of both model and layers.
The advantage of adding this is the ability to have only one model (with multiple views) and avoid duplication of work and the risk of inconsistency inherent with many copies of the model.
As a further (and natural extension to this) would be the ability to used this functionality with view-ports to be able to create (possibly many) paper-spaces from a single model. This would however require view-ports to be aware of what view they are a window into. A single change in the model would then propagate to all defined view-ports and paper-spaces.

1915 | QCAD (main) | Suggestion | Low | Viewport does not rotate view-port when changed in pape... | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
To reproduce
1. Select a new view-port in model-space 2. Select the appropriate paper-space 3. When the paper space opens change the angle of the viewport.
Actual
The object in the viewport changes but the viewport itself remains unchanged
Expected
That both the view-port and the object changes angle as the angle is updated
Motivation
If you abort the placement (but keep the angle) and go back to model-space and then redo the operation the view-port is rotated along the angle. It seems that the viewport only picks up the initial angle once the paper-space is open and ignores any changes thereafter
Workaround
1. Select the view-port per normal in model-space 2. Open the paper-space and set the wanted angle but do not place the view-port in paper space 3. Abort the placement on paper-space and redo the whole operation
Once the paper space is opened again the view-port will have the chosen angle

Task Description
To reproduce

Select the view-port in paper-space by clicking it 6. Try to move the object itself in the view-port (by clicking the “top” dot) to the right by moving the mouse to the right while holding the left mouse-button.
Actual
The object in the viewport moves down vertically NOT to the right
Expected
The object moves to the right
(It seems mouse movement does not compensate for the rotated angle of the viewport)
Workaround
None, except compensate for the angle in your head and moving the mouse the “wrong” way when correcting the placement of objects in the view-port

Win7pro 32bit Qcad 3.23.0
Andrew, The Arc segments of Polylines with Global or any Local Width render faulty where Global Z or any of the arc’s local Z is not zero.
In the attached drawing setting the Global Z of the inner poly to 5,10,...
The setting of Z to not zero affects the radius of the projected arc and not the bulging of the poly. It also affects the projected widths of the line inversely, but not by changing the widths properties.
Pritty rare combination! True. Qcad is 2D native! True.
Flatten will resolve this.
It is not a purely visual rendering fault, the poly will explode as such.
Maybe similar flaw as with uneven scaling blocks with arcs. https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5566#p20703

Just starting with QCAD, for some hours now - really excellent user interface (compared to other low budget CADs, like DCAD, or BeckerCAD...) !
Surprisingly, point coordinates - entered via the command line, and shown with correct positions on the drawing- are not displayed correctly with the ‘dimordinate’ (DO) command. There are no negative values, even when the center point (0;0) is right in the middle of the drawing, so points left and below should have !

Some functions / methods can generate some sort off entity or part with NaN / Null / Null-lenght ... props. Some explicitly don’t and test their actions with isNull().
As these serve a purpose in some processes, trails of them can be part of the results. For some users Null / Null-lenght are meaningfull, for other users these produce errors down the line. In a few cases its a desirable feature eg. controlpoint spline. (Allthough there are no Null props involved with equal successively controlpoints)
Many problem post on the forum are related to Null - Zero and so on.
In some cases it can’t be undone by re-editing the drawing. https://qcad.org/bugtracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=1925
If it can’t be undone by Undo/Redo it is a bug. https://qcad.org/bugtracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=1757

1934 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Diametric text - overlaid | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Diametric text is always placed above a horizontal measurement.
I often want to indicate both the inside and outside diameter of an object e.g. a wheel using diametric text. The text is overlaid and illegible.
To avoid text overlapping, I use Horizontal Aligned because I can control the position of the text to avoid illegible text.
A better method would be to alternate the placement of diametric text (alternatively) above and below a measurement so that in the majority of cases an overlap would be avoided.
Similarly for a vertical measurement, the text is overlaid and illegible.
When the angle is almost vertical, the angle controls the side the text appears however it also reverses the direction of the text (which is logical but not attractive).
Kind regards Simon

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.

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.

6 |
Task Description
In a medium complex drawing it’s often too much details to have all layers in a drawing visible at once. Also, it is of great importance to be able to have a single model to avoid duplication of work and risk inconsistency.
So i would like to create a number of views where each view has selected layers visible (that makes sense for the purpose of the view) and then assign the views to different layout blocks (using view-ports) in paper-space to be able to setup printing of several views on the same page/PDF
This also means that view-ports would have to be aware of what view they are displaying (if any besides the standard-view). This will then make it possible for printouts of different views with selected layers visible (different for each view and view-port) and still have only one model. Today this is not possible.
As it is today the only limited workaround is to set the layers you want to display, print/PDF of that viewport on separate page, and then change it for the next page, and so on. The big drawback is that you cannot have two different views/view-ports on the same page with different layers visible. Also, for large drawing it is painful to have to do a lot of manual setup for each rendering of the complete drawing.

Previous Feature Request #1285, dated 2015, incorporated in QCADPro 3.24. I regularly adjust linetype scales on hidden, centreline and phantom lines to achieve the best appearance on the drawing when printed. I note the Paint Properties feature copies all the attributes of the chosen line but does not copy the scale. I have to change the scale of each line, even after ‘painting’. This copying all Properties is something AutoCAD does. I know I could change the line to Hidden2 etc. and tick the ‘scale lines’ box in Drawing Properties but that is not always successful- copying properties is a quick and useful way of achieving the required result.
