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.

Task Description
Hi Andrew,
Currently the only option to insert a viewport is using the central insertion point, for better placement it would be useful to have an option to insert viewports at any of the four corners in addition to the centre.
Hope that makes sense.
Many thanks

Hi Andrew,
It would be good to have an option to be able to place the text to the left or right,maybe just a simple check box? please see attached screenshot to explain. In this instance (and I have to do this a lot ;)) I had to explode the dimension entity and rearrange the text manually :(

1 |
Task Description
There is the Synchronize attributes feature which works well. But It affects only block references in the active layout(modelspace, block layout). If I want to synchronize attributes of block references in in another blocks, i have to manually go through all blocks and run synchronize attributes feature. That is the reason I would like to modify Synchronize attributes feature to affect all block references in a drawing, or add new Deep synchronize attributes feature.

1888 | dwg2bmp | Feature Request | Low | Add support to disable hatch rendering on "dwg2bmp" | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
Hi!
A friendly request to add an option to disable hatch rendering on “dwg2bmp” conversions.
Depending on the nature of the conversion and the density of the hatch, this may render unintelligible images (see attachments). The option could look like “-t, -nohatch” to indicate hatches should be hidden before rendering. This could potentially become an option too for “dwg2svg” or “dwg2pdf.”
Amazing product, thank you so much!

1926 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | No negative coordinate values ? (DO command) | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
Just starting with QCAD, for some hours now - really excellent user interface (compared to other low budget CADs, like DCAD, or BeckerCAD...) !
Surprisingly, point coordinates - entered via the command line, and shown with correct positions on the drawing- are not displayed correctly with the ‘dimordinate’ (DO) command. There are no negative values, even when the center point (0;0) is right in the middle of the drawing, so points left and below should have !

1 |
Task Description
Some functions / methods can generate some sort off entity or part with NaN / Null / Null-lenght ... props. Some explicitly don’t and test their actions with isNull().
As these serve a purpose in some processes, trails of them can be part of the results. For some users Null / Null-lenght are meaningfull, for other users these produce errors down the line. In a few cases its a desirable feature eg. controlpoint spline. (Allthough there are no Null props involved with equal successively controlpoints)
Many problem post on the forum are related to Null - Zero and so on.
In some cases it can’t be undone by re-editing the drawing. https://qcad.org/bugtracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=1925
If it can’t be undone by Undo/Redo it is a bug. https://qcad.org/bugtracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=1757
In some cases there is a difference noticed after file save-close-open.

1 |
Task Description
When working with multiple Viewports with different scale it could be very useful to have extra properties controlling how dimensions are rendered in the viewport:
1) E.g an extra “Dimension Scale” under “Scale” in the Viewport selection’s ‘Specific Properties’ section, could allow having the same size when printed. This Dimension Scale would be multiplied on top of the Scale value, but only for Dimensions rendering.
2) Toggle button for hiding any dimensions in the Viewport. Maybe this should be controlled by being able to specify a Layer that should be hidden in this Viewport only, then I could select my Dimensions layer here.

2161 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Make Polyline from Selection (OC) configurable for simp... | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
QCAD Professional Win installer 32bit Version: 3.25.2.7 (3.25.2.7) Internet: QCAD.org Build Date: Dec 16 2020 Revision: e06f230 Qt Version: 5.13.2 Architecture: i386 Compiler: Unknown
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.

So wie ich einzelne Elemente mit der Maus auswählen und mit der Shift-Maus Funktion deselektieren kann wäre es schön wenn die Shift Taste auch bei Auswahlbereichen direkt zum deselektieren eingesetzt werden könnte.

564 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Settings organisation in level | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
As an old professional “documentation writer and user inteface designer” but IMHO, I’m not convinced that the “Application preferences” are correctly organised for ease of understanding and using them. These settings are organised in 2 levels. Some of the first levels have their own settings (e.g. “Graphics view”) while most others don’t (e.g. “Load/save”). May I humbly suggest some consistency rules : - no sub-level if there is only one subject - no items on main level if there are already 1 or more sub-level(s). For instance : - sub-level “Default Dimension settings” under “Dimension” is the only sub-level : then move these items under main level “Dimension” and suppress the sub-level ; - the items under “Graphics view” main level (with several sub-levels)could be in a sub-level named “General” ; Actually, “Graphics view” main level is the only one which has both its own items and sub-levels )) ?

|
Task Description
Eine oft Hilfreiche Zeit/Klick sparende Erweiterung wäre eine “Total” Option bei dem “Lengthen” Tool.
Aktuell ist es mit dieser Funktion möglich ein Element zu verlängern oder zu verkürzen um den Amount X. Der Referenzpunkt (von welchem Ende) kann bestimmt werden.
Die Erweiterung die ich mir wünschen würde wäre auch ein “Total” um ein Element auf eine bestimmte Länge zu bringen ohne einen Taschenrechner benutzen zu müssen. Referenz (welches Ende oder Mitte) sollte (muss) dafür wählbar sein.
Die Funktion “Property editor” stellt bereits über die Geometry Eigenschaften die Möglichkeit zur Verfügung einen “Total” Wert zu manipulieren. Leider bin ich aber hierbei nicht in der Lage zu bestimmen welcher Element Referenzpunkt dafür benutzt werden soll. Könnte ich die Referenz wählen (welches Ende oder Mitte) wäre auch dies dann durchaus akzeptabel

Es wäre schön wenn ich Werte wie zum Beispiel Längen von Linien direkt abgreifen könnte um diese weiter in Berechnungen verwenden zu können.
Beispiel: Ich habe eine Linie konstruiert wobei sich eine Länge y ergeben hat.
Nun möchte ich eine Linie zeichnen die 5 mal y sein soll.
Linientool → Wert 5* eingeben und y durch Auswahl mit der Maus von dem vorhandenen Elements übernehmen.
Natürlich könnte ich die Geometrie Info benutzen um den Wert abzulesen oder auch über die Zwischenablage zu benutzen. Ein abgreifen mit der Maus wäre aber schneller, direkter und wahrscheinlich auch mit weniger Fehlern (Human error) verbunden. Wahrscheinlich auch genauer da QCad, denke ich, mit mehr Nachkommastellen rechnet, oder?

Just a thought, but one that could be useful for machinists in particular - a measurement tool that can snap to a point as per usual, but then just displays the drawing coordinates in X and Y. This could be expanded to the dimensions tool set, so that you can click on a point and print the coordinates next to it.
