1368 | QCAD (main) | Suggestion | Low | Context Menu - suggestions | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
I love using the context menu, speeding up my workflow indeed.
I would like to suggest that we have the added option to show only icons if desired and also that maybe an option to save and show commonly used tools!
Maybe the context menu could be configurable to show two columns, one for the normal last used tools and the othjer one for the user saved tools?
What do you think?

2541 | QCAD (main) | Suggestion | Very Low | Consider the unit "Microinch" to be non-metric | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
Andrew,
One Microinch is equivalent to 25.4 nanometers and I don’t consider that to be metric.
RUnit.isMetric(this.getDocument().getUnit()) returns true for RS.Microinch or value 8.
https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/master/src/core/RUnit.cpp#L145-L155 Returns false for: RS::Inch ; RS::Foot ; RS::Mile ; RS::Mil ; RS::Yard ... and true for all the rest.
Also see last note in: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=9506&p=38295
Not to be confused with RDocument::isMetric() because that returns the measurement system unless that is RS::UnknownMeasurement what is rather impossible with drawings created by QCAD.

1705 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Connect certain actions and layers | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
When dimensioning my drawings I always want the dimensions to be on the dimensions layer. When adding text I want the text to be on the text layer. When drawing an infinite line it is always a construction line, therefore I want it to be on the construction line layer. When drawing a line segment it almost always is on my outline layer.
So I propose a new option to bind certain actions to certain layers. Whenever those actions are selected the layer should automatically be switched.
I can imagine this being implemented in the General→Tool Settings menu, where the short cuts are defined.

2140 | QCAD (main) | Suggestion | Low | Changing navigation mode for mouse wheel doesn't change... | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
Looks like error, but may be that’s feature request.
CAD software uses typical navigation behavior as: Wheel = Zoom; Ctrl+Wheel = Scroll up/down; Shift+Wheel = Scroll left/right.
Any other software like browsers, office software (openoffice writer, ms excel and so on), 2d paint software like GIMP (Photoshop and so on) uses other behavior: Wheel = Scroll up/down; Ctrl+Wheel = Zoom; Shift+Wheel = Scroll left/right.
Users, that intensively use CAD and other software simultaneously prefer to make same behavior in their applications switching CAD scroll to plain mouse wheel.
QCAD’s “Application Preferences”: “Graphics View: Navigation”: “Mouse wheel/ two finger swipe”: “Scroll” allow user to assign scroll up/down to wheel mouse instead of Zoom. But there is mistake Ctrl+Wheel didn’t change to Zoom. Ctrl+Wheel continues to scroll up/down, as the wheel. Wheel = Scroll up/down; Ctrl+Wheel = Scroll up/down; Shift+Wheel = Scroll left/right. No zoom!
Draw manipulation at this mode like a hell: you need to use wheel in conjunction with Ctrl/Shift to point draw in desired position, than move your hand to +(-) for make desired zoom.

Would not it be possible to create a kind of template for printing? We draw our room without cartridge. The cartridge will automatically appear when printed. The scaling could be automatic so that it goes in the A4 and therefore also will post the scale automatically. The name of the play could be the file name, date last saved after it the rest of the information that would be to add somehow (material index, designer, ...).
Original suggestion:
Bonjour,
Ne serait il pas possible de créer une sorte de template lors de l’impression ? On dessine notre pièce sans cartouche. Le cartouche s’affiche automatiquement lors de son impression. La mise à l’échelle pourrais être automatique pour que ca rentre dans le A4 et donc l’échelle s’afficherai aussi en automatique. Le nom de la pièce pourrais être le nom du fichier, la date du dernier enregistrement après c’est le reste des infos qui serait à ajouter je ne sais comment (matière, indice, dessinateur, ...).

Is there a way to make QCAD usable, after loading completed: - Like suppressing edit until user says so, - or taking snapshots of rendered canvases to another file and use it, as windows uses thumb.db ( for negative latency :P )
PS: I wish I could help a bit, but my hand are tied. I am just a java freak, I am opt to any idea of porting it to java, if she is still alive.

Task Description
Andrew,
The _DatumFilled Block used by Datum entities (DT) is considered as not used and is purged by Purge Unused Blocks (BP). There is no block association for these special types of arrowheads in QCAD.
After purging the Datums are not immediately updated but the special arrowheads will eventually disappear. Adding new Datums will not fix that.
Not problematic because the _DatumFilled Block is re-created on save/reload when Datum entities exists. Datums are updated.
Probably not OS or version related. Related forum topic: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=10694
Best solution would be to support different types of arrowheads and all related: https://qcad.org/bugtracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=695 https://qcad.org/bugtracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=757 https://qcad.org/bugtracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=1157

Task Description
I have created a drawing, where the CENTERS of the most outer lines have a distance of 3.06mm in both X and Y. The line weight of these outer lines is 0.6mm, so the whole image is 3.06mm + 2* 0.6mm/2 = 3.12mm wide and long (center to center plus half of the line weight on every side). Additionally in the export there is a frame around the image, making it 3.12 + 2*frame. The export function however calculates 3.06mm when setting the resolution to 1000Pix/cm, so it does not include the line weights and the outer frame.

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.

1681 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Auto-dimensioning | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
You can apply the command to Lines, PolyLine segments, Arcs, Circles, and Rings:
For linear entities parallel to an axis of the coordinate system, aligned Dimensions (parallel Dimensions) are created. For linear entities not parallel to an axis of the coordinate system, either aligned Dimensions (measuring the absolute distance between two points) or horizontal or vertical Dimensions (measuring the horizontal or vertical distance between two points) depending on where you move the pointer are created.
For curved entities, you can create radial, diameter, linear, angular, and arc length Dimensions.
To dimension entities:
Click Dimension > Auto (or type AutoDimension). In the graphics area, select an entity to dimension. Click to place the dimension line. To use another dimension type for Circles or Arcs, specify an option: Diameter. Creates a diameter Dimension. Radial. Creates a radial Dimension for an Arc or Circle. Linear. Creates a linear Dimension of the diameter of a Circle or an aligned, horizontal, or vertical Dimension between the end points of an Arc. Angular. Dimensions the angle between the end points of an Arc. Arc length. Dimensions an Arc length. Note: The chosen option is the default the next time you use the AutoDimension command.
When you move the pointer during a linear dimensioning, you can: Lock. Determines the current dimension type (aligned, horizontal, or vertical) regardless where you move the pointer. Unlock. Unlocks the type of linear dimension used. Press Enter.
*** In short, when you use this tool you click on an entity and it will know what dimension you’re looking for. For Circles, you can specify in the command window R or D for Radius or Diameter. This would be extremely useful on large drawings where a lot of dimensioning is to be done. One tool and start clicking on entities for dimensioning.
