2506 | QCAD/CAM | Feature Request | Low | Include arc segmentation for 'milling' On-Path. | Assigned | |

Task Description
Related forum topic: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=10468
For ‘milling’ on path it doesn’t consider
this.arcInterpolation = true
in the custom postprocessor nor the checked option in the CAM Configuration Dialog.
As far as detected the CamArcInterpolation checkbox of the CAM Configuration Dialog is unrelated to the this.arcInterpolation in the postprocessor.

Task Description
With a Mac (and no external mouse) there’s no middle button so it’s not possible to pan the 3D view (that’s what they tell me in the forum). It would be useful if one could use command-drag or control-drag to pan around the 3D view.

2307 | QCAD/CAM | Feature Request | Low | Tools to create dogbones or corner overcut | Assigned | |
2 |
Task Description
The inside corners of profile tool paths have rounded inside corners. This occurs because the rounded outside the bit cannot make it all the way into the corner of the feature. Think of tracing the inside wall of a cardboard box with a can of soup. The can makes direct contact with the box walls, but its round shape is unable to completely fit into the tight corners— there’s always a gap.
In a dog-bone overcut (see the figure in attachment), the inside profile corner is enlarged into a semicircle, allowing the sharp edges of the mating piece to slide through without interference.
When a dog bone is applied to the inside corners, as shown in the second figure in the attachment, the joints fit together nicely!
The following website explains what should be implemented More elegant CNC dogbones
There are two ways to implement this tool. Either you modify the original design (as implemented in Fusion 360) or you can do it at the moment you define the tool path (Estlcam allows you to do this for example). See the feature Corner overcut, on Estlcam website

Task Description
Andrew,
Unrelated to OS or QCAD version.
In the postprocessor configuration dialog there is a group box called ‘GroupCustom’. One can add custom widgets to that, rename it and so on.
Such is not provided in CamProfileToolpathDialog.ui or CamDrillToolpathDialog.ui
It should be possible but we aren’t really able to mix up things with the ‘Message’ QLabel ... A reserved QGroupBox would do the trick.

2213 | QCAD/CAM | Feature Request | Low | Allow editing Spindle Speed separately for each Toolpat... | Assigned | |

Task Description
Hello dear CAM developers!
I need to use the same tool at different spindle speed in a single machining file. I would deeply appreciate if you could add a Spindle Speed edit field in the CAM Profile Toolpath edit window in order that each Toolpath can have its own Spindle Speed value (same as you did for Feed Rate and Plunge Rate)
FYI, the tool on my concern is a laser who’s power is driven by the Spindle Speed PWM signal. I need to be able to do both engraving and cutting in a single file. Alas! this laser tool is defined with a fix and unique number (99). Therefore I cannot define different laser tools with different speeds.
Many thanks Best regards.

2374 | QCAD/CAM | Feature Request | Low | Add Spindle Speed to Toolpath Dialog | Assigned | |

Task Description
When editing an existing toolpath to update the parameters of the selected tool, we can update the Feed Rate and the Plunge Rate, but I couldn’t find any way to update the Spindle Speed.
Even when using the Edit Tool KE button, we can edit parameters of the tool on concern but none of the modification is applied to the current Toolpath because as I see, tools parameters are copied fron tools definitions to a Toolpath only at creation of this Toolpath, but Toolpath are not updated accordingly.
Could you please add an edit field for Spindle Speed in the CAM Profile Toolpath window?
Many thanks’, and best regards.

2507 | QCAD/CAM | Feature Request | Low | Add Toolpath from Layer | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
I’ve been able to make this work as proof of concept very easily, but many of the functions are inaccessible/difficult to override from post-processors.
Desired functionality:
1) Enable “Add Profile Toolpath” UI elements all the time (remove setRequiresSelection) 2) CAM Profile Toolpath Dialog: Drop-down menu of available Layers. First option “By Selection Only” 3) “By Selection Only” continues to pass EntityIds of selected objects (existing functionality) 4) Choosing an active Layer will use the Layer as source of EntityIds 5) Any changes to Entities on a Layer will result in those new/removed/changed objects being re-generated without having to manually select and update the tool paths. Either do not recover list of EntityIds from the ToolpathBlock, and instead use “live” each time it’s regenerated, or additional functionality to determine if a LayerId is associated with the Toolpath, and then lookup EntityIds.
I assume the persistence of the Layer selection would be available within the Toolpath, so that it will automatically update EntityIds every time a Toolpath is regenerated, without having to select Entities and updating the toolpath manually.
For large projects, being able to force select objects based upon layer dramatically reduces mistakes and speeds up the workflow.
Thanks

Task Description
Hallo Andrew,
I am still busy on the never ending G-code story. Doing so I wrote a small Post Processor Tutorial for all those nerds who wants to write their own. If you like it you might add it to QCAD. However, since English is not my native tongue I suggest checking it would be wise.
Meanwhile I have downloaded the source code, and could not find the CAM’s Drill-path-script. I am now using a negative Drill Cut Depth to set a Laser Dwell time, were as a field “Dwell Time (in seconds)” in the Drill-path would be more appropiate. Is this script open source available or is it part of ‘closed part’ of QCAD?

Andrew,
At present QCAD/CAM the tool drop-down box displays tool number and diameter between brackets.
It would be more appropriate to display if it is a mill or a drill and/or the description of such. In a further stage of development ball-nose ... Conical ... And so on.
I have several specialized mills with the same diameter. End-mills, roughing mills, routing mills, face mills ....
Tools 1(ø6mm) or 2(ø6mm) don’t say much if tool 1 is a side-mill and tool 2 is a high speed drill for metal.

2557 | QCAD/CAM | Suggestion | Very Low | G20/21 not occuring in generic postprocessors | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Andrew,
I know that GCodeMM.js and GCodeIN.js are generic postprocessors. Mostly used as base for other or custom postprocessor.
The distinct nature is pretty clear from the filename and the suffix in the display name. Another distinct nature is that they include this.unit = RS.Millimeter / RS.Inch intended for the CAM side.
Why don’t they include at least a G20/21 in a generic header?
There are several more specific postprocessors where I miss these G-codes for the measurement system.
True, if they are not supported, no error messages would occur when omitted. The danger is that users rely on build in postprocessors hoping that it matches with the default measurement system of their setup.
IMHO it is safer to trigger an instruction fault before attempting to execute a wrong motion. As fail-save as possible should always be the goal.

2558 | QCAD/CAM | Bug Report | Low | Offset trajectory path issue with circular Lead In/Out | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Andrew,
Please refer to related forum topic: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=10724#p44206
An eighth circle with radius 8 Lead In/Out relates to nothing in the actual exported cutter trajectory. Nor does it with the edge being cut.
Proper examples and a comparison with ‘Extension’ type Lead In/Out included. Conclusion: IMHO connecting the cutter trajectory and edge being cut is wrong.
It looks a lot like turning on Cutter Compensation (G41/42) while the motion is circular. But that is uncommon because most controllers can not cope with this motion. One can increase the offset gradually along a straight pre-entry segment for turning on G41/42 but not along a circular path. Also see snippet: - Pre-entry C→B turning on G41 - Circular Lead In B→A

2391 | QCAD Community Edition | Bug Report | Low | Fix Dark Theme for Linux | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
The dark theme for Linux is broken:
- Some icons have dark background (expected) and black foreground color (that should be replaced by white of very light gray) - Some icons have light background (not cohesive with the theme). - The command history shows dark blue font on dark gray background. - The grid’s ruler shows black font over dark background for the numbers. - The icons folder is missing in the GitHub repository, but other themes have that folder. - The general icons (open, save, and so on) are not dark theme friendly. A better approach for maybe all the themes would be to use something like the breeze icons pack for LibreOffice, and it will have the added benefit of making the app look more modern.
The icons issue is the biggest problem. They should probably replace the black color for white or very light gray. Even the red accent color is not ideal for dark themes, is not the main issue.
Attached is an image that show the problems and another that shows LibreOffice with the Dark Breeze theme for reference.

2405 | QCAD Community Edition | Bug Report | Low | Dimension scaling not working | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
I’m using QCAD Community Edition 3.27.7 on Windows 11.
When I started my drawing, I was able to change the size scale factor of (existing) dimensions using “Edit/Drawing Preferences/Dimension/Dimension Settings/Size scale factor”. However, suddenly this feature stopped working and now I cannot switch the dimension scale factor any longer.
I used this feature to be able to adapt the scale factor of the dimensions when printing in different scales. I.e. all my drawings are in “original” size but when it comes to printing, I print some parts in scale 1:2 (in which case I used to set the size scale factor of the dimensions to 2) and some parts in scale 1:10 (in which case I used to set the scale factor of the dimensions to 10). Using this procedure, the dimensions have the same size (font size, arrow size, gaps etc.) on both drawings.
I have attached the drawing, that shows the described issues.

Task Description
My task: To hatch an area.
Right now, if I want to fill an area with a hatch pattern, I have to select all the enclosing objects (lines, arcs) and then I can select the hatch tool. That can be under some circumstances a tedious task. To illustrate this, I created a simple example (see Attachment 1: Hatching.png).
Step 1: Create a rectangle. Step 2: Draw four vertical lines. Step 3: Select the four lines surrounding the first area. –> Problem! The horizontal lines are too long. Step 4: Divide the long horizontal lines of the rectangle where the vertical lines touch. Now the lines surrounding the three areas can be selected. Step 5: Hatch the selection. Done.
Just for fun try recreating my second example (see Attachment 2: Hatching2.png)
Therefore I would like to suggest a far more simple approach.
Step 1: Select the Hatch Tool. Step 2: Click inside the area you would like to be hatched. Done.
Of course that would mean that the hatch style is already pre-defined and can be changed later, if needed.
In this way productivity can be increased by ... [fill in you own estimate] ... times.
Example 2 would need only 13 clicks to hatch all the areas (including the hatch tool button).

2018 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Layer visibility setting per view/view-port | Assigned | |
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.

With the new “Info tool “Distance Entity to Entity” we have already the base for a new snap tool which could help to get rid of the time consuming construction process in cases like this. I would appreciate to get a new snap tool which is able to figure out the shortest distance between to entity’s and then will snap to the middle of it.
Pic 1: Given situation Pic 2: Result after using this new snap tool
Would it make also cense to have a second new snap tool which works opposite for the furthermost distance between two entity’s?

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
Clive

Task Description
Would it be possible to add Qcad’s theme folder to the local shared path, for example this would be /home/username/.local/share/QCAD/QCAD/themes for Linux. I know this works well for line types and would be extremely helpful for themes.

It would be nice to have an additional Radius Measurement tool with short leads. The current Radius tool shows always the lead line to the center of the radius what is in many cases not useful.
I’m not asking for a workaround

Task Description
The 3dConnexion Space Navigator would be wonderful as a pan and zoom control. I find it extremely useful in SketchUp and when I switch from that to QCAD am always disappointed to find it doesn’t work.

While full support for the buttons and such would be nice, just the ability to map the axis to pan and zoom would be wonderful.

Having leader with numbers and text would be awesome to better interact with the drawing and making BOM lists.
Currently it takes too mush time to make the leaders with text and number bubbles.
