File included Topic: https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=7889#p30803 Confirmed by ‘cccplex’ Linux ‘Latest Ubuntu’
Polyline arcs with Width = 2R render as circle segments rather than circle sectors. As Non-reversed arcs these don’t explode. As reversed arc these explode to a single arc rather than a circle sector contour.
There is also still the faulty rendering with Z not zero https://qcad.org/bugtracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=1923

Arctic_Eddie reports failing CAM offset at exactly these points !!! Reported is a faulty arc with radius of over 360,000mm. - I can not reproduce this under QCAD working further on the Polys with NaNs. - However the direct offset of such controlpoint Splines is erroneous. (see file in post 30902)
Arctic_Eddie reports arc radii of over 10,000mm. - These don’t seem to be faulty. - I agree that BiArc fitting should be bound to a lower and certainly to an upper limit. - That should be huge otherwise faint curvature is represented by many wobbles or too quick by straight lines. (All this, keeping in mind that QCAD doesn’t return the optimum fitted BiArc, see: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=4859)

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.

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.

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.

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?

2301 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Rotate preview on/off | Assigned | |

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.)

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. Moving the drawing or folders (or changing the PC) will lose the folder references and the images are not displayed when the drawing is opened again. 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)

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.

Task Description
Andrew,
I can’t find any documentation concerning OffsetBothSides under Misc .. Modify. It is not listed in the QCAD features nor in the changelog.
There was a Feature Request FS#1130 for this, I think you might want to close that as being implemented.
The tool asks for a Line, Arc, Circle, Ellipse, Spline or Polyline. It also seems to act on shapes that can be exploded to such entities like Text, Dimension and Hatch entities.
There may be many ‘Result loop not closed’ or ‘No offsets possible’ warnings when hovering over entities on a drawing. The preview may be partially, one or two sided and even two sided partially and closed with semi-circles.
I only successfully created a dual offset for open Splines, open or logically open Polylines. All other attempts result in a single offset at the indicated side.
There are the usual exceptions for Polylines with arc-segments but that is related to small arc segments and being tangentially connected. Only tested it on a Win7 platform. I don’t suspect that version 3.27.8 includes a fix for that ...

Task Description
Andrew,
Most probably not related to OS or QCAD version.
When hatching an area with Hatch from Segments (HS) there might be false positive warnings on open loops. It seems that this is related to the orientation of the indicated segments and the order of selection. The real problematic position is not always the first that is reported. Loop count is increased even if it is a single loop.
Included a basic test drawing to replicate these. Further details to replicate the issue are in the file.
Regards, CVH

Task Description
Currently, the model space can display lineweights at scale 1:1 It’s very convenient when drawing small objects that will be printed at scale 1:1 : it makes it easy to anticipate the final aspect of the printed drawing. But this feature is unusable for architects or users who draw large objects.
Therefore, it would be very useful to have a factor to multiply lineweight display in model space. For example : if i know my drawing will probably be printed at scale 1:50, i set the value of the lineweight factor to 50. Then every line would be displayed 50x thicker in model space.

Task Description
Instead of having to click on the toolbar, it would be useful to have a keyboard shortcut for undoing the last fit point (or control point) while drawing splines. Preferably it would also be nice to allow the user the ability to set what the keyboard shortcut is for this function.

Andrew, For more detailed description please refer to: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=33&p=40081#p40081
In the included screen grab below, left is when drawn cubic, closed periodic, from 4 points. Right is when the file is re-loaded.
It is hard to select the incorrect shape when pointing near it ... Probably it is referring to the correct internal shape. After drawing it explodes to a Null length polyline with 2 identical vertices.
I can’t include the error in a file as it reverts on re-load.
The same issue exist for quadratic, closed periodic, from 3 points.

Andrew,
Related topic: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=10094
When entering 1’ 1’‘ in an input field. - As the size of the rectangle in the topic - As the length property of a line selected in the drawing - ....
Returns 13 in a drawing in mm. And also in a drawing in inch what turns out to be correct. But also in a drawing in foot.
Similar, entering 1’ with a drawing in kilometers it returns 12 units = 12 kilometers.

Task Description
Andrew,
Referring to this forum post: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=10152
With radii 1341.35667735 and 26 the relative tolerance is 0.00683678 and exceeds the former used fixed tolerance of 1e-4.
These arcs will then be considered to be tangent and the intersection point is 0.31024 units to the left of where we expect it.
Implemented: https://github.com/qcad/qcad/commit/77ae3e4518cc34f178779d2d2c724adcf80c229d#diff-dcc4e31eaeaed5a047f65dbce4ddda4bcd4d604e9e1005ee8481ded273768449
Updated: https://github.com/qcad/qcad/commit/071b60acd1176e6301bf6b6fcf716684221a97e8#diff-dcc4e31eaeaed5a047f65dbce4ddda4bcd4d604e9e1005ee8481ded273768449
I had already expressed my reserves on the relative tolerance but that was already a better solution for small arcs: https://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=8775&p=34907#p34907
We could limit the tolerance by: A- The smallest of the fixed and the relative. B- A relative tolerance based on R2 there circle 1 is forced to be the larger one.
This will never account for the position in the plane. At a certain point the tolerance will be less than the accuracy/certainty of the values.

Task Description
Andrew,
It took me a while to find the source of a certain freak bug I encountered. I used the RLine.isParallel(RLine) as a test for knowing if line segments were parallel or not.
Included below is script code that mimics the functionally of isParallel().
As far as I know isParallel() is nowhere used in the QCAD open source. Textual only found in RLine.cpp & .h or under: opennurbs, ecmaapi\generated and ecmagenerator\src.
// Example:
// RShape1: RLine(RShape(address: "0xcd70e28"), startPoint: "RVector(969.219858, -171.914894, 0.000000, 1)", endPoint: "RVector(1010.000000, -140.000000, 0.000000, 1)")
// RShape2: RLine(RShape(address: "0x7659770"), startPoint: "RVector(969.219858, -171.914894, 0.000000, 1)", endPoint: "RVector(930.000000, -340.000000, 0.000000, 1)")

var aShape2Angle = shape2.getAngle(); // =4.483157047107694 rad

// RLine::isParallel(RLine) -> aTest1 || aTest2
