923 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Diagramming (Intelligent Orthogonal Connectors) | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
Hi,
With the new block attribute feature available in QCAD 3.3, there’s little to be done in order to make QCAD a good environment for typesetting circuits and other diagrams. In particular, the only killer feature that lasts is support for connectors: orthogonal lines that connecting one endpoint to another creates a connection line; when the concerned entities are moved the connection line is re-arranged. I’d like to know whether commercial support for this feature is available.

Task Description

Original report:
Imported a spline-dxf from adobe illustrator. Converted the spline to polyline with explode command. Then no anchor points / vertex points / vertices were showing anymore. Simplified the polyline so that it had less than 1000 points. Vertices became visible.
I think some freeform objects need actually more than 1000 vertices. Also them need to be edited. Please increase the amount of vertices showing to biginteger

823 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Add Midpoint Handles to Lines and Polylines | Assigned | |

Task Description
The Midpoint Handles should be used to move Polyline Segments and lines. This would add easy to access stretch functionality. Combined with a shortcut(hold down shift or alt etc.) to fix the movement to be orthogonal to the line this would bring a lot of extra value. It would also be possible to to have another shortcut to easily insert nodes to Polylines (again hold shift or alt etc.)

817 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Snap and cut all intersection in a given area tool ... | Assigned | |
1 |
Task Description
As we all know - from time to time - it is a lot of work to prepare a part of a drawing for a hatch. To get rid of one of the basic task (cutting lines along the desired hatch boundary) it would be nice to have an add-on - or what ever - what would cut ALL intersection in a drawing (or just on one layer, or just based on a selection etc.) with just a mouse click. Then it would be much faster and easier to do the selection for the hatch boundaries. The user could decide to make it directly in his drawing or he like to duplicate the drawing to an extra layer where this function will be used ....
Clive mentioned on this: Maybe a tool like this could be an additional ‘Snap’ selection option - select all snap intersections or select snap intersections within a boundary! then as you suggest ‘cut’ at the intersection points.

Task Description
A ' Multi ' Breakout tool or added option to the existing Breakout tool.
For example see attached image.
An option to remove all segments within a chosen boundary would be good, in my example I want to remove all the hatching within the Red circle.
So after exploding the Hatch, currently I have to remove all segments singularly!
Of course I could have placed the circle first and hatched around it - but in this and most instances it is easier to design and to produce the Hatching first and then place my circle/shapes etc.

Task Description
When working with the isometric grid (in any projection - Top, Right, Left) and drawing from ‘scratch’ as it were, without using the projection tools - I find myself using ‘Line from Angle’ the most.
It would be extreamly useful to be presented with two extra buttons when using this tool, a 30 degree button and a -30 degree button, this way I wouldn’t need to keep typing in the angle difference here.

775 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Note book tool for QCAD | Assigned | |

Task Description
It would be really cool to have a Note book tool for QCAD!
For example I am often working on a draft and at the same time scribbling notes down on a separate piece of paper relating to the drawing I am working on, could be anything e.g. add a block,add a dimension etc. etc... all sorts of things to remind myself about - all related to a particular drawing.
Of course I could use any number of other programs for this but a simple dedicated tool inside QCAD (could be called the ‘QCAD scribbler ;)) would be much better, especially one that can save the notes to a particular file, then when I open up my drawing again - my notes are there too!

Task Description
I think it would be nice to have the possibility to decide a fixed Text and Dimension (inclusive Arrows) height what is not affected by the Print scale. That means: If I have a given height of 3,5mm it will always be printed with 3,5mm - no matter what the scale for the printing is. Yes, I see also the problem that I could run in space problems after I twitch to the Print preview - but that will also happen when I change the Text hight in the preferences for a 5:1 printing. Maybe this Feature Request doesn’t looks important if you are usually working with Metric Units but if you have to handle Imperial Units then it is a pain in the back to make always the calculation to get the same heights. Try it by your self; 3,5mm = 0.137795” = 1”:1” Now I like to print it in 1”:256” ops - to small - ok 1”:64” ... no, to big, maybe 1”:128” .......and QCad can’t remember the previously numbers.

512 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Modify stretch and Restrict ortho | Assigned | |

Task Description
The modify stretch tool wants first and second corner, start and end point, then starts afresh. When I turn on restrict horizontally eg to align two points between start and end, the restriction sticks and I have to call restrict none, to be able to perform the next iteration, set the first corner then.
So, in the quest for a comfortable user interface, it was nice, if the modify stretch first/second corners parameter setting was not affected by current restrict/ortho etc. settings. Actually, that does not make any sense at all anyways, does it, a rectangle is defined by two degrees of freedom, isnt it?

Andrew, While enhancing DrawFromCSV: Forum Link. I had a peek at the new command line tool: dwg2csv
I would never come up with 115 columns. That wouldn’t be efficient to generate entities from. Although this way it is very complete and one could use specific lists to filter. One downside is that the ‘-list’ switch return is far too vast for the windows command line.
Remarked that: Only the first alphabetically custom property is listed under: QCAD:Line & QCAD:Reference (columns 114-115). And that the last encountered is persistent for all entities that follows.
Maybe this originates from a multiple entity selection ... ... what also retains the last encountered custom properties in the property editor. Should I add a seperate task for that?
Also had an exception thrown: Debug: dropped global XDATA (no res buf): “ViewportCenter”. Discarted that as this very basic test drawing hasn’t even a Viewport.

Task Description
QCAD 3.24.2 / macOS x86_64 10.14.6
Starting with empty doc: 1. Draw any object (e.g. a rectangle) on layer 0. 2. Create new layer (”1”) with color, say yellow. 3. Select new layer 4. Select new object 5. Modify → Move / Copy 6. Click reference point 7. Click target point same as reference point 8. In “Move / Copy Options” dialog, select “Delete Original” and check “Use current layer and attributes.” Click OK.
The moved object stays on the layer it was previously on. Using “Move / Copy” as a quick way to move a selection between layers is not useful even though it appears to be the recommended way in a Google search.
Note: if “Keep Original” is selected instead, the copied object is placed on the current layer and the original object remains on its layer, as expected.
Note: if the target point is different from the reference point, the moved object is placed on the current layer as expected.
There are other workarounds too, cut / paste with “To current layer” checked seems to work, as does chaging the layer in the Properties Editor.
