1100 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Add drag dimension (snap) along dimension line | Assigned | |
3 |
Task Description
In Autocad when making a dimension when left clicking to place the dimension there is the possibility to drag the dimension to either side of the dimension. This is also possible with Qcad dimension, but it losses the snapping and does not extend the dimension line out to the dimension text.
This is very useful when the two lines the needs a dimension are close together, or overlapping with another.
Attached is two images one for autocad and one for Qcad

1102 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Ray reference point | Assigned | |
2 |
Task Description
Using a horizontally/vertically ray means always I have to use a preset Reference point which is 0° for the horizontal Ray and 90° for the vertically Ray. The Reference point Option Box is deactivated.
It would be nice to be able to choose by myself between a Start and End Reference point like the vert./horiz. Line options.

1104 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Printing: Add support for page range | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
When printing from the preview mode a standard Windows popup shows, letting me select the printer, number of copies and a page range. Unfortunately QCAD (or Windows) ignores the page range - it always prints all pages. So right now I always have to copy the parts I want to print, page them into a separate document and print that instead - even though I got all my stuff nicely lined up for printing on multiple pages.

1111 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Option to swap right/middle mouse button | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Most of the other slightly non-standard CAD/eCAD tools I work with (e.g. Diptrace, PTC Creo Elements) use the right mouse button to drag. So when changing between these applications, it’s slightly confusing/annoying that I need the middle mouse button to drag in QCad. Even worse, the middle mouse button on most mice is the scroll wheel which is not really comfortable to hold while dragging.
So I’d propose an option to switch the function of the middle and right mouse button to allow users to choose the preferable option.

Often in print preview I need to move the paper around and position it with the ‘Move Paper Position’ tool, which is useful, but what would be an additional extra useful option would be a ‘Place Paper Here’ tool.
Then I could simply use this tool first and then use the ‘Move Paper Position’ tool afterwards to fine tune things!
If you look at the attached image you will see that in this students file they have got their drawing spread out all over the place:(

When starting QCAD it will open a new, untitled, page causing me to close that, click through the saving option to discard changes and then load up the project i’m working on. It would be nice to have the option for the program to start with the last used project. I checked the application preferences to see if this option was already possible as it’s common with other applications but couldn’t find it. In ‘Startup’ (the obvious place for it) there was only an option for the splash screen.

|
Task Description
Dear Andrew, just in case you should ever run out of ideas for enhancements; As an advisor I sometimes get PDF files and recently, some CAD drawings contained layers, which is kind of nifty to reduce the clutter.
Sadly though, qprinter/qpainter seem to be unaware of OCG (Optional Content Groups, the PDF jargon for layers) at the moment, so my plea is for the back burner now. Probably in SVG though it can be done? Yet that is of a little less use, maybe…

1233 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Tab key to cycle between selected objects | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
I think it’s a useful adition and makes it easy to select objects that are overlapped. I know there is a selection filter, but sometimes this is faster and/or all the objects share the same type and such things.
If I remember correctly, Inkscape has this behaviour.
Thanks.

1254 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Add drop object along a path with automatic trim | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Add drop object along a path with automatic trim.
The object can be a selection before or after selecting the tool, an entity or a block.
The path can be another entity from a start point to an end point.
Dropping can be made on one side or the other (like in other tools depending on the side of the cursor), with a choice of miroring the object or not.
The number of drops or the distance between can be selected.
The distance can be between a control point of the object or its sysmetry axis or border.
The dropping direction can be selected too.
The droping depth can be constrained : all control points have passed the path, or one of them. Alternatively, replace control points by an entity belonging to the object.
Exemple of use case : equidistant drills in a curved rail. The dropping depth constraint enables for example to ensure a drill has a minimal depth when not orthogonal to a plan.

Task Description
If I have to do some kind of intense tasks like converting a previous Polyline, which is now exploded to lines (maybe a couple hundred thousand short lines) back to a polyline (Polyline/Create from Segments) QCAD needs time to do that. In this “working time” I can’t see any indicator that QCAD is working. Not a Hourglass on the mouse or some other indicator. I have just the feeling: Nothing is going on right now ...
It would be nice to have some kind of visual info that QCAD is working.

1362 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | new layer tool: Toggle visibility all | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
Hi,
I use a lot of “temp” layer to keep my drawing organized during a design session. Ad the end of the day (or week or month ...) I need to get rid of this “garbage” but unfortunately there is no easy way to delete all this layer in one go. Most of the time those layer are invisible. The “important layer” are visible. If I could toggle all layer from visible in invisible in one go with a switch like “Toggle visible layer all” and then use “Select all” / delete / Purge unused layer I’m able do get rid of this stuff with just a few clicks.
The same tool would help to improve the workflow in the case that I just have to switch between all visible / invisible layer for testing / double checking / cleaning or what ever. Currently I have to toggle every single layer to get this done and if I work with many layer I need to have a perfect working memory (or a piece of paper with many notes!) to be able to restore the same desired working order.
And I’m confident - there are many more useful scenarios for a tool like this one ...

Task Description
Attached DWG/DXF files are incorrectly read by QCAD. They contain splines drawn using ZWCAD and saved as DWG/DXF version 2000. Above splines are polylines created with autolisp routine which converts spline to polyline, so you can see how splines should actually be drawn.
First spline is created with fit points: 2,2 4,4 6,2 Then copied and applied weight of 2 on central control point. Then copied again and applied weight of 0.5 on central control point.
Second spline is created with fit points: 6,2 8,4 10,2 with vertical start and end tangent. Then copied and applied fit tolerance of 1 for fit points.
Third spline is created with fit points: 10,2 12,4 14,2 with horizontal start and end tangent.
Fourth and fifth spline are correctly drawn by QCAD.
