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:(

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.

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…

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.

|
Task Description
Hi,
As a typical command line draftsman (still using acad10 for dos, since microsoft doesn’t supoort Win NT anymore), I noticed a severe lack on command line acces in QCAD.
For example I find the icon and pixel selecting methods within qcad very confusing and rude.
With the normal cad Select command I can select exactly what en how I want it.
I intend not to be rude, but I find my drawing screen littered all over with all kind of very specialist menu’s, tools and options. Sorry, I just want to make a drawing at the natural intuitive way, as with a pencil. So I use command line Commands, such as Move, Copy, Change, Select, a.s.o. For a ‘Command scripting’ user (-batching is a different tool!-), it seems to me logical these basic commands should be accessable.

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.

Hi,
from time to time I need to place a circle etc precisely between two entity’s - what is a lot of construction work to get it correct. 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?

Mouse wheel / two finger swipe: Scroll (Trackpad... Enable pan gesture : unticked (found that enabling this often goes into pan mode when I am just moving my pointer around) Limit zoom and scroll to prevent overflows : ticked (hoping that this would prevent weird zooming issue.

Things work as expected:
Issue I am experiencing:
Often, when I am zooming in and out with two finger gestures, the view suddenly sets to some weird state and my drawing goes off the ruler. The mouse point remains where it is.
Workaround: Reset viewpoint with autozoom and navigate around.
Expected zoom behaviour: I expect viewpoint to zoom in / out at where my mouse pointer is or at least the centre of current view point.

I use eagle cad for pcb designs and I like its ability to snap to finer snap to grid when pressing option button (ALT in windows). I am fine with auto grid setting, however, it would be good to also have a way to access finer grid when pressing down option button.
For example, when zoomed out, grid is 100mm apart. When pressing down on the option button (ALT in windows), grid switches to finer 10mm. This will save me time, zooming in to access finer grid to snap to.
