2405 | QCAD Community Edition | Bug Report | Low | Dimension scaling not working | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
I’m using QCAD Community Edition 3.27.7 on Windows 11.
When I started my drawing, I was able to change the size scale factor of (existing) dimensions using “Edit/Drawing Preferences/Dimension/Dimension Settings/Size scale factor”. However, suddenly this feature stopped working and now I cannot switch the dimension scale factor any longer.
I used this feature to be able to adapt the scale factor of the dimensions when printing in different scales. I.e. all my drawings are in “original” size but when it comes to printing, I print some parts in scale 1:2 (in which case I used to set the size scale factor of the dimensions to 2) and some parts in scale 1:10 (in which case I used to set the scale factor of the dimensions to 10). Using this procedure, the dimensions have the same size (font size, arrow size, gaps etc.) on both drawings.
I have attached the drawing, that shows the described issues.

1934 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Diametric text - overlaid | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
Diametric text is always placed above a horizontal measurement.
I often want to indicate both the inside and outside diameter of an object e.g. a wheel using diametric text. The text is overlaid and illegible.
To avoid text overlapping, I use Horizontal Aligned because I can control the position of the text to avoid illegible text.
A better method would be to alternate the placement of diametric text (alternatively) above and below a measurement so that in the majority of cases an overlap would be avoided.
Similarly for a vertical measurement, the text is overlaid and illegible.
When the angle is almost vertical, the angle controls the side the text appears however it also reverses the direction of the text (which is logical but not attractive).
Kind regards Simon

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.

Hi Andrew,
Still working with and on CAM HPGL for the HP7580 pen plotter.
I have added a penplotter test drawing, that might be used for testing en callibrating plotter and pens. You may add it to the Examples-directory.
QCAD has a lot of trouble creating toolpaths and exports. Much too often it shuts itself down, or gets stalled. Why? I am not sure.
|
|
805 | QCAD (main) | Feature Request | Low | Create tool radius compensation / tool path generation | Assigned | |
|
Task Description
This is how I would implement this:
This would be a modification tool. Parts are selected, a toolpath is generated, and a dialog pops up to allow putting the tool path into an existing layer, a new layer, or replace all drawings in an existing layer.
This is how the toolpath is generated:
We iterate through all elements and explode everything but text into line segments. Then we connect the line segments into chains wherever the line endpoints are less than some tolerance away from each other. The chains can be very chaotic, but at least we have separate entities for now.
For every chain, we need to find the largest complete loop. A good drawing would only contain non-overlapping loops, but we can’t expect that. Everything that is not on this loop can not be defined as a part or as a hole, so we will merely create a tool path segment that is equivalent to the line segment. Every segment that *IS* on a loop is either an outside edge (part outline), or an inside edge (hole outline), (or overlapping, in which case it is neither, and we have an operator problem).
In a perfect world, we need to find exactly which shape is inside which other shape, and then create alternating tool offsets from the outmost loop (part edge) to the second outmost (hole), to the next (part) etc. .
In a simplified world, we can used the bounding box of the loop instead. This works OK for rectangular shapes, but a circle next to an “L” shape could be seen as inside the L’s bounding box, hence inside the L, wrongly accused of being a hole, not a part.
Now all that is left to do is to create a new loop, offset by the tool radius. Oh, and since we have the connections from line segment to line segment in the correct order already, we can use the opportunity to order all cutting loops from inner to outer, or from small to large, and order non-loop edges by travel distance.
The new drawing in the new layer can now be exported without further hassle to create a nice laser cut file.
PS: of course, a user could create multiple layers for marking, cutting, enraging, etc. . Additional Layer attributes for cutting speed and laser power (and a few more) would be needed.

Task Description
Hello,
I’ve quite often the task to transfer changes from one set of drawings to another (similar) set. My ideal setup would be to open one set in one window and the other set in another window. Both windows would be arranged side-by-side (larger monitor). Changes would be copy-pasted from one set to the other.
From #2352 I’ve learned that there is a command-line option to achieve this.
Unfortunately it’s not possible to copy-paste between these instances.
And yes, it’s important to do this in two windows to see both versions at the same time. So, tabs are not the answer.
It’s also ok if i could detach a tab from one instance and arrange it aside of the main window (like the property editor). Than all data transfers would happen inside the same instance.
Best regards, Klaus

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)

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.
